The Revisionist Masterpiece, Part 2

Back in the summer of 2008, I posted about how Barack Obama was trying to take credit for the success in Iraq. Anyone who knows anything about the subject knows that's an asinine suggestion, of course, but hey, no one is accusing of Obots of being particularly discerning. Still, this is something that we just cannot let pass...sure enough, they're doing it again:

Today, Vice President Joe Biden was on with Larry King. During the conversationcut-and-runner, said that Iraq was one of the great accomplishments of the Obama Administration. Vice President Biden, a

BIDEN: Well, you’ve heard me say that for the last 10 years. I think it’s the — it’s a big country. It has nuclear weapons that are able to be deployed. It has a real significant minority of radicalized population. It is — it is not a completely functional democracy in the sense we think about it. And so it’s — it — that’s my greatest concern.

I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. 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. I spent — I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months — three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society.

It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.

In 2007 candidate Barack Obama said that, “The United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.”

Audacity, indeed. Any other words fail.

There's my two cents.
