CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama said Tuesday he was pleased with the reduction of violence in Iraq since the deployment of more U.S. troops, but added it was a result of several factors, not just the "surge."
"We don't know what would have happened if the plan that I preferred in January 2007 -- to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation, to begin a phased withdrawal -- what would have happened had we pursued that strategy," Obama said after landing in Amman, Jordan.
"I am pleased that as a consequence of great effort by our troops -- but also as a consequence of a shift in allegiances among the Sunni tribal leaders as well as the decision of the Sadr militias to stand down -- that we've seen a quelling of violence," he said.
But, Obama said, a functioning Iraq ultimately will depend on the capacity of the Iraqi people to unify themselves, get beyond sectarian divisions and set up a government that works for the people.
"There is security progress. Now we need a political solution," he said.
Obama's stop in Jordan is the latest on his trip through the Middle East. So far, Obama also has been through Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. The senator from Illinois will visit Israel before embarking on the European leg of his trip, which will take him through Germany, France and the United Kingdom. "If we responsibly end the war in Iraq we can strengthen our military, step up our efforts to finish the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, and succeed in leaving Iraq to a sovereign government that can take responsibility for its own future," he said.
Obama underscored the need to redeploy combat troops from Iraq and shift resources to Afghanistan.
"That is where the 9/11 attacks were planned, and today in Afghanistan and the border region of Pakistan, al Qaeda and the Taliban are mounting a growing offensive against the security of the Afghan people and, increasingly the Pakistani people, while plotting new attacks against the United States."
Obama said he is pleased about "a growing consensus back home that we need more resources in Afghanistan."
While in Amman, Obama will meet with King Abdullah and other Jordanian officials. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/22/obama.mideast/index.html

BARACK OBAMA GRADUATED MAGNA CUM LAUDE FROM HARVARD LAW SCHOOL AND PRESIDENT OF HARVARD LAW REVIEW.
That did not make John McCain the 5TH dumbest Midshipman that year and that did not necessarily make Barack Obama the smartest graduate of Harvard Law School that year (although if there were a draft for law graduates, Obama would have been #1 pick)....
(Apparently the Navy needed fighter pilots so bad that they trained graduate number 894/895 (McCain) to be the pilot of a million dollar airplane...(McCain even crashed once while still in training - he ejected, saving himself but losing the plane)...
Back to the present: the USA.
Our two biggest problems right now are the Economy and the Iraq War. How has McCain performed in real life?
McCain , by his own admission, does not know much about economics. He can't even use a computer...
McCain does not know the difference between Sunnis, Shiites and Al Qaeda and therefore does not have the most basic understanding of Mideast politics.
BUT John McCain survived 5 1/2 years as a POW.
Does that trump all else and make him the most qualified to be President?
By the way, was or is, the US Navy in the habit of training the midshipman who graduates number 894/895 to be a fighter pilot?

Lyrics:
anyone left there inside,
anyone left alive?
will I hear your whispers,
or the deafening wail of sirens?
tell me is there anyone inside?
I know you waited for me here,
blind by your tears,
all alone, all these years,
could I lose you dear,
when I am so near?
thought I might forget you in time,
you never even left my mind.
now I've come to find you,
but I fear I've come too late,
tell me there's one life left to save...
no, this don't stop here,
though we're long past hope,
because you and I know it's meant to be...
and if all I have found is silent now,
then I'll lay down too,
near you.
