[Senator Goldwater]

Can't make this stuff up.

[Bitsy]

What the $ell is he smoke’n? Those people have to all be on crack!

Biden on Weekend At Larry's .

What a comedic combo.

[Erik Latranyi]

For once, we did not hear it was Bush’s fault!

[getitright]

Troops come marching home... is this the October Surprise?

I’m series. This could be hugh. It may save The House for the dems.

[Razmataz]

What an absolute shame we have elected... an absolute
shame. May God help us.

[cranked]

Delusional.

[al_c]

I mean, this 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.

And Zero had absolutely nothing to do with that, Biden!!

What a dolt!!!!

[proud American in Canada]

OMG! And Larry didn’t call him out on it, I’m sure.

[FourPeas]

Good ‘Ole Joe certainly does love the spotlight.

[Robert DeLong]

Even an L.A. Times reporter sees through this? Now that is a miracle.

[silverleaf]

Joe was the smart democrat foreign policy expert who wanted to divide Iraq into 3 parts because a united Iraq was ungovernable

but then, Joe Biden is also the guy who voted against the Alaska pipeline

twice

[Retain Mike]

Biden did not mention numerous obstacles overcome here. The Democratic Party, traditional media, and others continually proclaimed Iraq a “quagmire”, and demanded immediate U.S. withdrawal. Joe Biden promoted Iraq disunion into three separate countries. Jack Murtha received the Profiles in Courage award for falsely accusing U.S. Marines of being “cold blooded killers”. When Lt. General Petraeus appeared for Senate confirmation this Princeton PhD provided a splendid dissertation for using classic counterinsurgency tactics to win in Iraq; tactics consistently victorious when not politically subverted. Hillary Clinton said listening to him required a “suspension of disbelief”, asked no questions, and presented her own perspective of a failed and hopeless mission.

July 2007 heralded Obama’s last noteworthy Iraq involvement when he, Biden, Clinton, etal co-sponsored the Levin-Reed Amendment requiring most troops leave by April 2008. Passage would have precluded achievements he now embraces. Beginning in 2007 with the “Al Anbar Awakening” and throughout 2008, Iraqi people and leaders experienced deliverance from lives dominated by assassins stalking them and their families. Iraqis witnessed national institution ascendance in providing personal and material security.

[OneWingedShark]

...but Iraq was/is Bush's fault! {And we had that thing virtually won (I was there in `08) and any 'backsliding' in that arena lays squarely on the [lack of] leadership in the WH/Joint-Chiefs/Generals.}

[a fool in paradise]

Bjorn on third, thinks he hit a triple.

[GoldenPup]

Biden: Iraq one of Obama's 'great achievements'

WHAT A FREAKIN' IDIOT!!!

[moose2004]

“I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration.”

Uncontrollable dishonesty wrapped in monumental arrogance topped off with desperation beyond decorum.

[don-o]

Joe finds him a parade to get out front of.

That dog won’t hunt, Joe.

[LibLieSlayer]

Hey plugs... FU and your boss.

[Cicero]

This is an LAT “blog.” Does that mean that regular readers of the newspaper don’t get to see it?

Biden is SUCH a jerk, it’s hard to see how even a CNN audience could swallow this. But I suppose there are few limits to the stupidity of CNN viewers—those that remain.

[Wee-Weed Up]

Biden amazes me, especially considering all Obama did was continue the withdrawal plans that were already in place by Bush.
