Since you posted this I would point out, the way out of context quote you sited:

"And there are those who will test Iraq's security forces and the resolve of the Iraqi people through more sectarian bombings and the murder of innocent civilians.
But I'm confident that those forces will fail."

This buffoon in Washington surely will be remembered as a complicit in the total bastardizing of the American landscape financial and political (with the willing help of the rest of our ruling class) but to arbitrarily misquote "the Flying O"(like his own words aren't enough to show his socialist bent) does a disservice to accurate filing of posts on this site, and anyone can show your intent was to mislead.

I believe the relevant part of the quote cited is "And today's transition is further proof that those who have tried to pull Iraq into the abyss of disunion and civil war are on the wrong side of history."

It seems clear that the left sought to use Iraq's misery for partisan gain, and that they went out of their way to encourage resistance to America's mission of freedom. I am pretty certain you can pull quotes from the senate debates on withdrawal timetables, as well as from the actions of fellow travelers, like the NY Times, to support the original assertion that the Democrats and especially Obama were on the wrong side of history.
