Default Biden Sings a New Tune on the Iraq War

A new take on the surge now that the dems are in office.


American Thinker Blog: Biden Sings a New Tune on the Iraq War

Quote:
You arrived in a country that was on the brink of a civil war, a country that I first visited over six years ago...You went in the midst of what was an uncertain future for Iraq, and you left -- you left five or six days ago -- you left behind a country in which violence is being replaced by progress.

Over the course of your deployment, you dealt a serious blow to al Qaeda and Iraq by taking the fight to them in the north, by moving out into Anbar Province, by taking on the Shia extremists in the south, and by stemming the flow of weapons and foreign fighters along that broad, open, expansive border in Iraq. You helped secure the provincial elections, which I might add, as you'll remember, General, were very much in doubt.

A little different take on the Surge than we heard during the election.

Hey Harry how come there aren't any post about Americans dying in Afghanistan or Iraq lately?

He's welcoming troop home, it's a "job well done" talk. Way to turn it into something it's not. American thinker indeed.

Yes, but there was little acknowledgement of any progress before even though there was a lot.

He's talking about their deployment: when they arrived and when they left. Again, it's a pep talk, not a policy talk. Turning it into something that it's not is not particularly honest.

Messiah inherited Iraq so now Iraq is OK.

During the Bush days Scumbag John Fonda Kerry once said American Troops were entering homes and terrorizing Iraqi women and children during the nightime, I wonder if Bastard Kerry has checked to see what is going on in Afganistan............

GET BUSH
GOD DAMN HALIBURTON
A MORON BEAT THE DINGOBATS "TWICE"...........

Just makes it more of a pep talk, good job, affair, and not a statement on policy. No switch in position was made here.
