From the link I provided....

This was a story from February 11, 2010... it’s in the second paragraph. That’s what makes it fun... he was sooooooo wrong. Of course the MSM and New York Times will ‘miss’ this strange and totally wrong prediction.

FLASHBACK: Joe Biden Made a Bold Prediction About Iraq. How’s It Working Out?

BIDEN: I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re gonna see 90,000 troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re gonna see a stable Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government…I’ve been impressed by how they’ve been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”

That was February 11, 2010. A couple of years later, US troops are gone but Iraq is anything but stable. Islamists are successfully taking over its major cities and are on the verge of threatening Baghdad.

Good point about the guns...

Here’s something you’ll enjoy - printed Feb 2010:

BIDEN: “I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re gonna see 90,000 troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re gonna see a stable Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government…I’ve been impressed by how they’ve been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”

This was Biden’s comment February 11, 2010.

Nope, they are Air Force. The AF won’t allow the Army to have fixed wing aircraft.

I think they’re attacking Baghdad because they’re upset about a video.

I look at the current state of things and am aghast at the massive fail.

Perhaps we deserve the mess we are in. We should have done more to prevent corruption and evil from rising to power in this once great nation. I bet there were plenty of Germans in the thirties that felt like I feel right now.

God please help us, and please forgive us for being so lazy and stupid.

One A-10 and the invasion fails.

Is there a fundraiser Obama needs to attend?

Commander Obama is every bit the military genius of Hitler.

Only if you assert that Obama has America's interests at heart and in mind.

If one understand that Obama is a Trojan Horse, and is an instrument of our destruction - then we might see Obama as the Islamic and the Communist world does; a genius.

There is absolutely no way this isn’t going exactly how he planned it.

Within the report, we read:

    The U.S. has yet to respond to a request from Iraq made last month to mount air attacks against militant training camps in western Iraq, according to two American officials who asked not to be identified discussing internal deliberations. One of the officials said President Barack Obama is reluctant to revisit a war that he opposed and has repeatedly declared over.

This sounds like it is hardly a surprise to Obama, and his reasons for not making it a priority to respond when it might have done some good is that it would openly expose his incompetence and ignorance. Well, TOO LATE, zero!!!
