“Obama inherited the Iraq success.”
Exactly. This administration is quick to blame GWB for all the things that have gone wrong, yet taciturn when it comes to giving GWB credit for successes. The reality is, had we followed Barack Obama’s advice on Iraq (pullout by 2008), we never would have had the chance to enjoy our success there. But don’t expect Biden or Obama to acknowledge “Bush was right, we were wrong about the surge strategy in Iraq.”
And Obama is leaving on the schedule agreed to by Bush and the Iraqi government.
Then Sen Biden visited Baghdad while I was there in the summer of 07, he like most of the other Dems were singing a much different tune then, which provided encouragement to those who were working hard to kill us. These guys are amazing, I still get mad just thinking about it.
