Military Succeeded ‘Beyond Any Expectation’ In Iraq? Speak For Yourself, Mr. President
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/27/2009 9:45:55 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Speak for yourself, Mr. President . . .

Addressing the troops at Camp Lejeune today to announce his plans to withdraw all but about 50,000 troops from Iraq, Pres. Obama praised the success that has been achieved there. Among other things, he said:

“The men and women of the United States military have served with honor, and succeeded beyond any expectation.”

Any expectation? You, Mr. President, opposed this war from the beginning, claiming it could not succeed. Back in 2006 you called for surrender and withdrawal. You opposed the surge, and even after it succeeded said you still were right in not opposing it.

Please note that in next to last para of excerpt, “not opposing it” should read “opposing it.”

This imbecile will have a lot to answer for when he dies. To think of all the truly honorable people who have died for this country to have it taken down like this.

Understanding strategy requires intelligence.

Obama has no intelligence.

QED.

The troops in the background look stoic. Does anyone know that the response was from the troops at LaJeune?

“and succeeded beyond any expectation.””

Because they succeeded with the likes of you, Nancy and Harry against them. Get lost Barry.

“The men and women of the United States military have served with honor, and succeeded beyond any expectation.”

Obama may be the Messiah, but a prophet he most surely ain't.

I’m just busting on you...my wife laughs when I refer to him as “zero” and “dumbo”. I really do not know which term I like to use better so I simply chose A—hole!

From the beginning many of us knew that we are going to win the war in Iraq because we have great faith in the incredible bravery and professionalism of our US military and the very strong leadership of President Bush. We won in Iraq despite defeatists like Obama and the liberals in Congress and the media.
