Hey Obama: We Were Greeted as Liberators

Part of the Left’s hatred for President George W. Bush has involved a historical blurring of the war in Iraq. The latest case is the allegation that American troops, when they liberated Baghdad in April 2003, were not welcome as liberators. This inaccurate appraisal was leveled again on Tuesday evening by Barack Obama for the second time in consecutive presidential debates. Both times, Obama criticized John McCain for predicting that Americans would be greeted as liberators in Iraq.

His only company was a Koran and a radio with headphones that he kept tuned to the Arabic Service of the BBC. His bright moment came near the 20th anniversary of his confinement when he heard a speech by President Bush on the September 11 attacks. “Mr. Bush gave a speech in which he said the terrorists of the world would be hunted down,” recalled Juad. “The next time my mother brought me food I told her of my conviction that [Saddam] would not last.”

Juad assumed that any hunt for terrorists would naturally include Saddam Hussein. Fortunately for him, the American president agreed.

Once American troops arrived, Juad entered the light of freedom for the first time in over two decades. “I believe that Allah worked through Mr. Bush to make this happen,” said Juad. “If I met Mr. Bush, I would say, ‘thank you, thank you, you are a good human, you returned me from the dead.’”


I hate the lying left!

...but if the news gets stuck on reporting on the minority Sunnis being in an uproar over occupation.....ignoring the majority Shia that were liberated and showed it.

The liberation never happened.

Perception is reality in America.....just like many people believe Saddam or the U.S. government conducted the 9-11 attacks.

The perception is there, so it is reality for that cohort.

We're STILL regarded as liberators.

Only weak-minded people who believe what the media says would actually think otherwise.

Yeah, every time the Lying One says that I yell, “We were, too!” Obviously, he wasn’t watching TV that day...he must have been in a confab with Bill and Bernadine in their basement.
