Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) called Obama’s plans “embarrassingly naive.”

The WSJ points out that Obama routinely voted against such funding requests while a member of the Senate, which one might argue made him even more naive then than now. 

For instance, Obama campaigned strongly against the surge strategy in Iraq and the increase in troop levels, which was proven “embarrassingly naive” when the strategy worked. 

Obama has yet to actually say the words “I was wrong,” but his commitment to a lasting presence in Iraq and a stronger effort in Afghanistan is a de facto admission that he — and Conyers, and every other critic in Congress —was dead wrong about it.
