Joe Biden update: Iraq one of Obama's 'great achievements'

Isn't this special, the Obama administration is taking credit for the success in Iraq, this is coming from the same man, VP Joe Biden that wanted to break Iraq into three sectarian regions.....

Thank goodness, Vice President Joe Biden went on CNN to chat with Larry King Wednesday night. So many think things are not going so well for the Democrat administration, as The Ticket chronicled here.

Many Americans recall the ex-Sen. Biden's Democratic primary plans to give in to Iraq's fractious factions and carve the country into three territories. And even more probably recall Biden's boss' plan to halt the Iraq war years ago. As long as it got started anyway without the permission of the then state senator.

Plus, of course, the vehement opposition of the Nobel Prize winner to the 2007 American troop surge of you-know-who from Texas that Obama knew for certain was only going to worsen sectarian strife there. (See 2007 video here.)....

Well, of course, it didn't turn out that way, thanks in large measure to the brave service of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops who served in that war-torn land and helped peace to break out despite the loud political acrimony back home over their role.

Now, the Obama-Biden pair that opposed the Iraq war and its tactics and predicted their failure is prepared to accept credit for its success.

Exclusive: Dick Cheney Critical of Biden, Obama National Security Policies

Former Vice President Says Bush-Era Policies Deserve Credit for Successes

http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Politics ... id=9821035
Former vice president Dick Cheney, in an exclusive appearance on ABC News' "This Week," offered a sharp critique of the Obama administration's handling of national security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying any achievements over the past year largely stemmed from policies implemented under President George W. Bush.

"If [the administration is] going to take credit for [Iraq's success], fair enough ... but it ought to come with a healthy dose of 'Thank you, George Bush' up front and a recognition that some of their early recommendations with respect to prosecuting that war were just dead wrong," Cheney told ABC's Jonathan Karl .

Earlier Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Iraq may end up being one of the administration's greatest successes.

"Obama and Biden campaigned from one end of the country to the other for two years criticizing our Iraq policy," Cheney said. "If they had had their way, if we'd followed the policies they'd pursued from the outset or advocated from the outset, Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Baghdad today."

I don't honestly think that anyone in either faction take anything that Biden or Obama says seriously. Maybe the most exteme left does but they have blinders on and pretty much eat anything Pelosi condone's them consuming anyway. Biden and Obama are nothing more than talking puppets of others in lower rank with asperations of power that they themselves will never be able to accomplish. Nothing more and nothing less. Bush would have a better chance at a third term in 2012 than this goverment continueing to survive at this rate.
