WTF!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m speechless. Here\u2019s US vice president Joe Biden claiming that now-democratic Iraq is a triumph of the Obama <\/em>Administration:<\/p>\n

\n

I am very optimistic about \u2014 about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration<\/a>. You\u2019re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. <\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government\u2026 It\u2019s impressed me. I\u2019ve been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Utterly shameless. Here\u2019s Biden on Iraq when George Bush actually secured that victory against the vicious opposition of Biden\u2019s own party<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I want to make it clear that I totally oppose the surging of additional American troops into Baghdad.<\/a>.. I think it is contrary to the overwhelming body of informed opinion\u2026 A surge of up to 30,000 American troops cannot have any positive effect except for only temporary.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span>Obama was just as opposed to Bush\u2019s winning strategy in 2007:<\/p>\n

\n

I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The victor is vilified, and the jackals steal his laurels for their own.<\/p>\n

\n

TonyfromOz adds …..<\/span><\/p>\n

This is nothing but hypocritical rhetorical propagandist hyperbole. I’ll bet Joe can’t even look in a mirror without laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
