For Once They Didn't Blame Bush

How Obama And Biden Fought The Surge

As we have often noted before (see the related articles links below), Messrs Obama and Biden fought our winning strategy in Iraq – tooth and nail.
A fact you would never guess from Mr. Obama’s remarks yesterday at Camp Lejeune.
But here is another gentle reminder about their prescience, via YouTube:

Obama’s Hypocrisy On Iraq Success

Remember, we were supposed to ignore Mr. Obama’s stunning lack of experience because he has such excellent “judgment.”
Well, he was wrong about the surge. And his choice of a Vice President was not too stellar either.
So when have we ever seen any evidence of this alleged sound judgment?

Say what? Yes, the dumbest Vice President and “one heartbeat away” from the Presidency of the United States appeared on Larry King Live last night claiming that Iraq

“could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.”

Even more from ABC:

The vice president said he’d been to Iraq 17 times and visits the country every three months or so. “I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society” he said. “It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”
At the briefing today, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about Biden calling Iraq one of the great potential achievements of the Obama administration given that Biden had previously advocated that the country should be divided into thirds and split among Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis, and then-Sen. Obama opposing the surge of US troops that many experts argue helped bring stability that allowed the reconciliation process to continue.
In fact, in January 2007 then-Sen. Obama said that he was “not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.”
Gibbs said the achievement was “putting what was broken back together and getting our troops home, which we intend to do in August of this year.”
A reporter pointed out that the Status of Forces Agreement to bring troops home was signed before the president took office.
Gibbs called that agreement “something I think that the political pressure that the president, as a then-candidate, helped to bring about.”
The nation “will long debate Iraq,” Gibbs said. “We will long debate whether at a very important moment in our effort to root out terrorism, particularly in Afghanistan and in that border region with Pakistan, whether we took our eye off the ball. I think historians will debate that long after we are gone.” Gibbs suggested that by invading Iraq the US was “occupy(ing) a country that until we got there didn’t have a single member of Al Qaida,” and taking its eye off the ball.
Gibbs said that “the vice president’s been deeply involved in fixing the political process there so that elections can be held and so that our troops can come home as scheduled this summer.”                                                                                                                           Now while the left are bitching and moaning over the fact that some Republicans showed up to the ribbon cutting ceramonies for Stimulus based pojects. Obama and Joe Biden are taking creadit for winning in the Iraq war they said wouldn't work. And up until Obama became President he said he would pull out of Iraq  ASAP. Talk about hypocracy and just plain snakes. They take creadit for what Bush did and they fought tooth and nail against. We see how these political shisters are now and this is the lowest of the low. How can they go around acting like they did the good they didn't do and then blame all the bad they did on the group that didn't have the power to do what they accused them of doing? We have a president and VP without honor. Our military men and women are in big trouble knowing that these two men are in charge of their lives and wellbeing. This isn't a funny matter but it shows us the characture of the people that are in charge of this country. But the left wing kool-aid drinkers will be out in force protecting these dishonorable men while making a big deal about Republicans showing up for ribbon cutting ceramonies to civil projects that came from the taxpayers not the Democratic Party. I am ashamed to the max of Joe and 'H' and everyone should be. Pray for these men in charge of our country. They need it. Maybe if Obama went to Church more then 3 times last year he would know the difference between right and wrong, but that is another story.
