Outright LIARS Joe Biden and Robert Gibbs TRY to Take Credit For Success In Iraq

Robert Gibbs Tells White House Press Corps That Obama Administration Saved Iraq

Robert Gibbs yesterday tried to take credit for the success in Iraq even though both Biden* and Obama voted against the successful surge that stabilized the country. That’s not all. Biden caused rioting and protests when he pushed legislation to divide Iraq into three countries. Barack Obama told supporters in 2007 that, “Preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.”
And as if that is not bad enough others are saying similar things. GRRRRRR

First we need to remember that In 2007 both Barack Obama and Joe Biden continually spoke out against the Bush troop surge in Iraq.
Joe Biden took credit for Iraq.

Joe Biden said the day before

…….” On January 16, 2007, Chuck Hagel, Delaware Democrat Joe Biden (Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair), and Michigan Democrat Carl Levin (Armed Services Committee chair) co-sponsored a non-binding resolution that says it is “not in the national interest of the United States to deepen its military involvement in Iraq.”

Speaking at Camp Lejeune on February 27, 2009, Barack Obama talked about the success of our efforts in Iraq which he and the Democratic Party tried to undermine on a daily basis.
But that was 2007. This last Wednesday, Feb. 10th, 2010, Vice President Joe Biden was on with Larry King. During the conversation Vice President Biden, a cut-and-runner, said that Iraq was one of the great accomplishments of the Obama Administration.
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.”

Then by Joe Biden:
What happens after we surge these women and men? … General Petraeus … may be the only one who believes this is a good idea! Virtually, no one else think it’s a good idea! — Joe Biden, March 14, 2007
The first thing I’m going to do is veto that bill [for surge money] and I’m going to take out that money for those MRAPs, those vehicles to save lives over there. … I gotta kid going over there … the idea that we’re not building new Humvees with the V-shaped thing is just crap, man! Kids are dying that don’t have to die. The second thing we’re going to do is shove it down his throat. — Joe Biden, April 27, 2007
[General Patraeus is] dead, flat wrong [about trying the surge]. The fact of the matter is that there is … this idea of the security gains we made have had no impact on the underlying sectarian dynamic. None. None whatsoever. Can anybody envision a central government made up of Sunni, Shi’a, and Kurds that’s going to gain the trust and respect of 27 million Iraqis? There have been some tactical gains, but they have no ultimate bearing at this point on the prospect of there being a political settlement in Iraq that would allow American troops to come home without leaving chaos behind. — Joe Biden on “Meet the Press,” September 9, 2007
Now by Joe Biden:

I’m very optimistic about about Iraq, and this can be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the, uh, end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government. — Joe Biden on Larry King Live, February 10, 2010

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Wow, just WOW…they truly think no one cares about the truth. Talk about grasping at straws…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
These people make me sick! They not only lie but they also never give the troops creidt either. I can’t stand this BS!
Biden did not elaborate on what all the administration’s other “great achievements” were so far so I will.
1) Record gun and ammo sales
2) The rise of tea Parties
3) The Russians eagerly awaiting to pounce on Eastern Europe
4) record National debt that would make members of Gamblers Anonymous blush
5) setting back racial relations back 20 years with the Cambridge incident.
Soon to come:
1) Pakistan implodes
2) China dictates our foreign policy
3) 12$ a gallon of gas after Iran goes nuclear and USES IT.
