Biden: Iraq Success One of Obama's " Great Achievements"

These people have entered bunker mode, completely detached from reality. I remember Obama personally blabbing in '06 that the " Surge has failed." The Dems battled success in Iraq the WHOLE way and will get NO credit ever.

Joe Biden update: Iraq one of Obama's 'great achievements' | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

Information moves way to fast for an oompa loompa like Biden to attempt to rewrite history....I can post the never ending saga of Dems parading around for YEARS claiming that the Iraq war was lost if I have to.:pimp: Wannabe's.

As senators, Barack Obama and Joe Biden both opposed the troop surge in Iraq -- and Biden even wanted to divide the country into three sections.

But as vice president, Biden is taking credit for success in Iraq.

"I am very optimistic about Iraq," he said. "I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration."

But Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said you cannot oppose the surge and then claim it for your legacy.

"When Joe Biden was in the Senate and Obama was in the Senate, they authored and were the chief architect of the resolution opposing the surge," he said.

The vice president also took credit for the troop drawdown.

"You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer," he said. "You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government."

But the drawdown was negotiated in the Status of Forces Agreement before the Obama administration took office.

"The reduction in U.S. forces that is under way right now is in fact important and it's largely the continuation of the policy that President Bush had set in place when he negotiated the drawdown schedule with Prime Minister Maliki at the end of 2008," Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution told Fox News.

In fact, the agreement called for having U.S. troops out of Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and all U.S. combat troops out by the end of 2011.

"The timetable for withdrawing those troops had been worked on for a long time, way preceding this administration coming into power, and that timetable really centered on success in Iraq," said Col. Bill Cowan, a Fox News contributor. "That success starting really after the surge that was implemented by the previous administration."

At the White House, the day after the vice president's remarks, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked how the administration could take credit for Iraq.

"Well, putting what was broken back together and getting our troops home, which we intend to do in August of this year," he said, adding that Obama helped provide critical "political pressure" on Iraq policy before taking office.

Experts, noting a peaceful transfer of power is a key step for a young democracy, suggest another major test for Iraq is coming up March 7, when provincial elections are scheduled to be held.

And the Earth is flat, blacks require affirmative action to succeed, Al Gore invented the internet...

Didn't Biden want Iraq divided into smaller provinces, and weren't the liberals violently against the troop surge...? The Obama administration (Biden included) never had meetings/dealings/negotiations with the leaders of Iraq prior to taking office.
All this coming from an idiot, that during the primaries announced...Billary Clinton "would be a better pick than me". No shit. I'll bet Barrack Hussein Osama is thinking that same thought right now.
Get your facts straight, you piece of progressive dogshit.

You can Google the first sentence to find shitloads of links to this.

:S2: I expected nothing less from this administration. 20 years down the road though, history will tell the truth about the surge and certain peoples positions on the matter. The other big middle eastern issue was Iran; so how is that going?

Like Carter, this will be a one term wonder.........things like this WILL bite them in the ass come the next election.

Have a good one!:s4:

P.S. I merged these threads.....hope ya don't mind.

i think there is a lot of other stuff that comes before this stuff that will be the reason this administration is a one-hit wonder! obama is a WEAK leader with no conviction. he can't make a decision, all he can do is point and grunt at what he wants but can't put his heart into it full force.

for example, he has been ranting and raving about the college football BCS poll and pushing them to a playoff, yet when it came to health care all he ever said was that he wanted it done. the white house never had put anything out to help guide either body of the house....just that they want it done. it took them over a year to put out any ideas of his/their own.

he wasn't in office for a year yet when you had hardcore Dem supporters that were saying that obama needed to be more like george bush! you know shit is bad then.

but i hear what you are saying loud and clear!

Good to see ya back Psycho....where did ya go?

Its a funny thing this administration attempting to claim credit for Iraq's shaky at best success...on one hand, 80% of America knows thats a ridiculous lie, on the other hand, the other 20% simply can't even admit there is a success to claim.....funny.

Iran is a total failure for Obama no matter how ya cut it.........as the midget regime continues to execute teenage activists for speaking their mind in public......SHAME. Support the resistance PUBLICLY no matter what and give honor to those martyrs executed by Islamic nutjobs

Court, jail........ya see, I live in a state who's leaders are nothing more than a bunch of inbred idiots. In my fine state, if you molest your next door neighbors child you'll get less of a punishment than if you grow your own for personal use. Makes sense huh?:wtf:

Have a good one!:s4:

Glad ur free brother.

Here some video to help remind Biden

Of course...we were always at war with Eurasia.

I don't know why anyone would want to take credit for Iraq. If it were me I'd want to deny any role in that slaughter. The fact that they do now is quite disgusting. It's not exactly a kingly title to wear...if people believe it, so much the worse for the administration.
