Edwards, Olbermann, and Fox News' potentially premature jubilation

Summary: John Edwards and Keith Olbermann find themselves among the targets of condemnation by Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson for the former's refusals to accept the inevitability of victory in Iraq. This sentiment on the part of the Fox News anchors is interesting due to previous statements by both.

On the one end you have this from Bill O'Reilly (my emphasis in bold):

And some Dems are counting on Iraq to assure a presidential victory next November, but that strategy is now in doubt because by all accounts, the surge in Iraq is working and things are improving there. This puts the Democrats in a tight spot. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards, and Bill Richardson all opposed the surge. They're all on the record. Now all of those people were wrong. So while the Bush administration was wrong about Saddam having WMDs and grossly underestimating the amount of help the Iraqis would give the USA, the Democrats have now made a big Iraq mistake as well.

1. Its Bill O'Riley which is

synonymous with Ass Hole. He is such a tool. Nothing he says is true. The surge is not solving the problem. It will explode again soon, and more of our guys and gals will die.

2. Is anyone really surprised to learn

that Bill O'Reilly is probably guilty of premature jocularity?
