Biden Gives Credit to Bush Administration for Iraq Surge… Barely

In an interview on PBS' NewsHour, Vice President Joe Biden said “The president’s speech acknowledged President Bush’s contribution.” For the record, President Obama acknowledged President Bush's love of country and support for the troops.

The only reason this fool has a job is…he's an insurance factor for Obama…. no one wants anything to happen to Obama because Joe Biden would be the next in line.

Good Grief !

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER….. CONSERVATIVES ONLY !

kmichaels   September 1st, 2010 - 12:24 pm

Biden and Obama are self-serving cowardly pieces of political shit
with goals more personal than good for our national well being.

And the real ironic part is Biden, at the very end, stated what Bush
himself stated about when success would be had in Iraq and
all the blathering screaming drooling idiot liberals claimed that that
statement meant stick with a failed plan.

mustafamonde   September 1st, 2010 - 12:24 pm

"Maddow wears briefs, so you can't hear hers. "

Not so, the briefs have nothing to do with it…chain-maille can't bunch up!

antilibtards   September 1st, 2010 - 12:26 pm

I am grateful for all of the sacrifices that our armed forces and their families have made in helping Iraq and protecting America.

Screw the democrats for the political games that they have played and currently play with respect to Iraq. Screw them big time.

mustafamonde   September 1st, 2010 - 12:27 pm

They depend on the short attention span of the American public. The problem for the dems now is–we're not forgetting. Remember November!

Chimenin   September 1st, 2010 - 12:30 pm

Biden has difficulty spelling his own name. It's a given… That's why King O' selected him as his own useful idiot. However, in the typical incompetent King O' style, he screwed the pooch again. He's not useful. He's a liability. Mark my words, if the oncoming investigations don't get rid of King O', he will not be on the next ticket.

TruthPresser   September 1st, 2010 - 12:34 pm

Yeah, give credit to the surge as you pull out. What a coward. They are just looking for ways to tarnish Bush's legacy by making the Iraq war a failure.

I can't believe they would put politics before American success.

He ain't giving Bush credit……he IS giving political power and government the credit. Thank goodness they put a hundred thousand Sunis on the payroll is his message. The Surge was just a minor aspect of the progress that resulted in freedom. Ol' Bite Me is living up to his name!!

September 1, 2010

Dear President Obama,

I read your speech and it reminded me of one of the reasons I voted for John McCain for President in 2008. Please allow me to explain, by using a failure of my own character as an example. As my graduation day from high school approached my father realized that I had not applied to college. After all I’m the guy who showed up about a half an hour late for the SAT’s, I had no desire to go to college. I wanted to work. As I’ve mentioned before I spent most of high school working, and my average at the end of it all was B+ to an A. What did I need college for? Why could I not just enlist in the Air Force like my father and my grandfather did? So begins the slow boil argument between me, and the old man. Well, long story short, I come home one day with a chip on my shoulder the size of Mount Everest. The old man wasn’t having the best of days anyway, and I declare that I’m not going to college, no way, never. One thing led to another, my nose was bleeding and I am chewing on asphalt. The next day I applied to five colleges, and express mailed my applications in, I was excepted to one, Arizona State University.

You see Mr. Obama, my father served during a tumultuous time in this nations history. The memories of that time generated a fear in him that I was not prepared to overcome. But all my father saw was a casket, with his son in it, and all I wanted to do was join the Air Force, I wasn’t thinking about the casket, only the “wild blue yonder” the jets, and all the rest. See, one of my dad’s duties then was guarding those caskets coming and going. This left a mental scare that I began to pick in the worst way by my adolescent, and immature approach to enlistment. Later that day my Dad and I made a deal, try college, if it doesn’t take I could join the Air Force. My father was betting on broads and beer, and that would be enough to keep me alive, if he knew what I did that first year in college while living at “Manzanita Hall” he would have put me on the bus to basic training with his own two hands. Now, at 18 I could have walked over to the Air force recruiter in Phoenix and signed up, but to do that would be to break my word, and I only had one nose, and I do not like the taste of asphalt, and I was not in the mood to taste 2X4.

Back to your speech. When a man utters words about war without deeds of past acts to back them up, and worse, in your case you uttered words in the past that gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and put our sons and daughters at great risk, those words said last night, ring hollow, and fall flat. Had Senator McCain been President having suffered, and served, as he had, I cannot imagine he would ever say what you said in a million years. Mr. McCain understands that there is a son or a daughter out there that is going to have to do what I and you failed to do, that is, serve this nation. No matter the geopolitical reception of ones utterances, the notion that a President in time of war must lead the next generation to fight what will be a very long war, if not, leading this nation in winning the longest of wars, must be at the forefront of those comments.

I failed to overcome my fathers objections, and the broads and the beer, to meet my obligation to this country. Who knows what my military career would have attained; I probably would have ended up arming bombs in the desert somewhere, or as an armorer because of my lack of athletic ability, and an insatiable curiosity of all things mechanical, and I don’t think that they would have entrusted an F-16 to someone with eye glasses! But I know this. I’ve a debt to repay to everyone of those that stepped into that breech, and every month I send whatever I can to those organizations that support them, and their families to make good on that debt. If they had a President, and not a photographic political opportunist, that once shared their suffering either as a parent, or as one their ranks, that would make all the difference in the world to them.

In 2010, 2012 and beyond, it will be my honor to do what ever I can to make that a reality.

Respectfully,

Joe Doakes

Gmalc   September 1st, 2010 - 1:20 pm

WOW Joe! That is one good letter. You express your thoughts about Mr. Obama and the military in realistic terms geared for our young people in terms they should comprehend, putting our President in his place hiding behind the podium with his fine speech prepared for him by like-minded leftist liberals with no comprehension of what the military has done for them in the past, present or future.

We would have saved over 4400 lives, hundreds billions in treasure and probably killed osama by now. Was it really worth it with Weapons inspectors on the ground finding NOTHING to divert our resources?

Saddam used the fear of WMD to keep his boot on the neck of the people. As soon as it was proven that he was lying, the people would have risen up and killed him. we could have just sat back and watched from Afghanistan.

The JFK Case: Oswald and His Twelve Handlers

August 22, 2010 By Bill Simpich

With millions of documents released in the years since the JFK Act was passed… Now is the moment to sum up what we have, demand the rest,.. Although we may never know who fired the shots at JFK, you may agree that the new documents reveal who called the shots.

One important clue revealed in the documents is that the CIA consciously used Lee Harvey Oswald’s visa requests for espionage purposes before JFK was assassinated. A CIA office used Oswald as “bait” while simultaneously trying to…

The Economic boom until 2006 and half, the Victory in Iraq and the taming of Al-Qaeda… those are 100% Bush's accomplishments
The economic mess started by Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae was 'birthed' by the Democrats who took over in 2006 and the Republicans who acted like Democrats.
The horrific mess we are in NOW with the economy flat-lined despite of TRILLION dollars wasted by Obama's fiat + the increasing unemployment rate + the lack of response to the Gulf crisis (I call it the Golf Crisis, because Dumbama was playing and partying instead of paying attention)…well those AND the Mega-shait ObamaCare…..well ALL those ARE OBAMA's…and ONLY Obama’s
So…more and more Americans are missing Bush….while more and more American voters are committing themselves to send the Liberal Democrats packing.

For those that 'might' remember, Bite-Me is the same Nitwit Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose solution was to break Iraq up into 3 pieces. Therefore he is qualified to be the Vice Booklicker under the Apostate Muslim de facto Dictator Barry Hussein and his Politburo of Syncophants.

Biden giving a semblance of credit to George Bush, Damn another Gaffe by the second in command imbecile. Surely, Biden and Obama are tormented by the fact the pull out was finalized before GW left office. But never fear, for when the crap hits the fan due to the Iraqi government being inept and incompetent due to infighting, GW will again get the blame. Then again with mid terms looming and the Dem's about to get their collective clock cleaned, the voters need idiots like Biden to remind them of how incompetent present collection of misfits are.

Editors of a top medical journal are questioning whether the diet pill Meridia should stay on the market even if it's restricted to people without heart disease.
A new study shows the appetite suppressant raises the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with heart problems.

The strongly worded editorial in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine comes two weeks before government advisers review the prescription drug.

The weight-loss pill has already been pulled in Europe and U.S. drug regulators have added stronger warnings to the label.

Mariposadan   September 1st, 2010 - 3:22 pm

I don't take Meridia, is there hope for me?

Commieobamie   September 1st, 2010 - 3:30 pm

Say that as i'm shoving a grenade down your piehole! But as to the Iraq rant. IF the United States EVER goes to WAR, the FIRST thing is to KILL all enemies without any care to the LYING scum "civilian" casualities! NO islamic muslim scum is an innocent, they are taught from age five to be complicient enemy combatants. So Irag and Afgan should be blown to hell, targeting each and EVERY mosque! No limits on INITIATING fire against the ENEMY. Blow em to HELL and GET OUT immediately, LEAVE EM TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES. When they ASK for assistance, then base it on MUTUAL respect. NO islamo muslim is worth to water to flush them down the toilet, and that includes YOU!

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:32 pm

The surge worked, sort of. It didn't eradicate violence in Iraq, but we can't really do that in Chicago or New York, either.

The only problem with the surge is the six years Bush spent saying he didn't need the extra troops. John McCain and others were on his butt from the beginning, saying we needed more like 250,000 than the 140,000 Bush and Rumsfeld committed. If they had sent in the right number of people in 2003, the whole thing would have been stabilized much more quickly.

In addition to the war being illegal and unnecessary, thousands of Americans and Iraquis lost their lives due to Bush & Rumsfeld's incompetent execution of the war and occupation. So Bush deserves credit for the surge? Yeah, he does – and everything that came before it.

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:34 pm

Well said. Nobody should be taking ANY credit for anything that happened in Iraq. It's a black spot on American history.

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:35 pm

Nice use of the word "complicient" too. I never would have thought of it in that context.

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:36 pm

James – nice to hear from you.

Meridia?

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:40 pm

Well, I doubt we actually did that (the 25 million). Granted, though, we did save some number of Iraquis from being tortured, raped, and murdered, at least by the Hussein regime. I'm not sure the level of torture, rape, and murder has really declined all that much under current conditions.

But who cares? We didn't go to Iraq to save people from torture, rape, and murder. If we did, we'd have to invade about 100 countries around the world, starting with some of our "allies".

We invaded on the false pretext of WMD. After Bush and the neocons figured out we weren't going to buy off on the "regime change" thing, they made up their whole act about WMD. Those same people are now telling us about the imminent threat from Iran. They lied to us once – why would you start believing them now?

I_H8_BOR   September 1st, 2010 - 3:42 pm

We saved the ones that LIVED through our carpet bombing . LOL

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:45 pm

Yeah yeah yeah. $23 million for Kenya to support the referendum of a constitution. Hardly the same as paying $23 million for abortions.

But, by your test, we should stop giving any support at all to Israel, where abortions are common. That will save the treasury biullions every year.

Do you agree?

snotso   September 1st, 2010 - 3:47 pm

Liar, Maybe you should ask the Kurds what they think.

Jamesb   September 1st, 2010 - 3:50 pm

Absolutely! Remember, no Meridia and definately NO KOOL AID! You seem safe from both, "Hello", er, not so much.

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:50 pm

I'll second that. It's a little hot, but a great day (except for the people at Discovery).

gwar5   September 1st, 2010 - 3:51 pm

Biden better be giving credit to Bush.

Biden wanted to carve up Iraq into 3 parts guaranteeing civil war and genocide. What an idiot. Biden should be praying that nobody listened to him.

Jamesb   September 1st, 2010 - 3:53 pm

Hi Urth, nah – just goofing on our troll. Direct communication is fairly useless. Notice the "Chicken Hawk" comment despite HIGH RATES of past and even present service amongst the posters here. Right out of the liberal troll handbook.

Hence a non-sequetorial non-sensicle response. How are you?

Urthmovr   September 1st, 2010 - 3:59 pm

That's a very well-written letter. I appreciate the sentiments behind it, because in a different war and at a different time, I was pretty much in the same place.

I'd ask you to remember, though, that John McCain is the last politician standing who can really claim the kind of record he has put up. Perhaps others will emerge from the oil wars who will go on to be political leaders, but so far there's just been a few phonies.

Somehow, we are going to have to reconcile ourselves to having presidents and congresspersons who have not actually been there, but still need to make the hard decisions about sending kids to wars. The fact that Obama is reluctant to do that is a GOOD thing – he won't be tempoted to idly start a war on false pretenses, or an endless engagement with no defineable "victory". He has fallen under the spell of the military-industrial complex in Afghanistan, but I think you'll see him break out of it next year.

At any rate, I hope our presidents in the future exercise extreme caution in committing our soldiers to these constant, endless wars.

JoeDoakes101   September 1st, 2010 - 4:20 pm

I disagree. Governor Palin son is serving in combat. She goes to bed every night with the same fear every mother and father has when they send their son or daughter off to war. As for endless wars, they don't need to be endless if both parties decide to fight them instead of each other.

JoeDoakes101   September 1st, 2010 - 4:20 pm

They are not allowed entrance into it.

claspur   September 1st, 2010 - 4:30 pm

Tokyomatt   September 1st, 2010 - 4:50 pm

For Biden or Obama to give Bush any credit, it like asking them to admit to being Americans..

Const_Liberta   September 1st, 2010 - 5:17 pm

I am glad Obama and Biden swung in to save the day. LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYpBoYa4pno

six_mile_cross   September 1st, 2010 - 5:27 pm

LMAO…At a critical juncture in the 2010 election, Plugs and the Annointed One can't talk about their accomplishments. They have to pull out one of Bush's last accomplishments, and take some kind of twisted credit for it, where they put the cart (Sons of Iraq) before the horse (Surge) and say, gee, that was what really succeeded.

I don't think Plugs has ever talked on camera straight. He's always weaving some tale to explain how he was right and everyone else was wrong. Every time. Modern War, Cold War, Economy, you name it…he is the Author of History Rewritten.

And, he doesn't even realize he's being trotted out there by TAO to talk things up…so when it all goes to crap for them in November, TAO will have a reason for dumping him from his 2012 ticket: For being 'out of touch'.

ObummerSucks   September 1st, 2010 - 5:32 pm

Sloe Joe can't even spell surge so I guess we shouldn't be to hard on him.

Chamberlain   September 1st, 2010 - 5:57 pm

Wait till tomorrow when he retracts that on MSNBC. What's next ? Joe invites Bush to dinner ? These guys are in full campaign mode and will say anything to retain their majority. They know us Bush voters are pissed off.

WVSickFreak   September 1st, 2010 - 7:02 pm

Carpet bombing? Was this back in the 40's???

WVSickFreak   September 1st, 2010 - 7:03 pm

Kinda like electing Obama

snotso   September 1st, 2010 - 7:39 pm

Bring our country back from the brink you dunderhead. Are you so wee weed up that you don't remember 9-11? Oh, that's right……that was Bush's fault too. Clinton had nothing to do with Bin Laden freely operating in Africa and the middle east.

I_H8_BOR   September 1st, 2010 - 8:29 pm

Bring it back or send it full speed ahead into the brink. We all remember how safe Bush kept us on 9/11/01.

I thought we couldnt blame the previous Pres for anything ? So its OK whne your blaming Clinton or Carter, but no way can you blame Bush for anything.

TheUltraworld   September 1st, 2010 - 9:29 pm

I can always count on something stupid being said if Biden opens his mouth.

TheUltraworld   September 1st, 2010 - 9:33 pm

It's been a hot summer here in Florida this year. Should start cooling off in the next few weeks.

killdevil   September 1st, 2010 - 9:36 pm

George Bush won the War.. .. and Biden and Obama can't wait to see it fail… . every bomb that goes off between the two hate filled muslim factions . . . Biden and Obama will be on a chair shouting… ''we said not to go in,, looks like it is failing…. The two are going to 'lose' the peace. They want Iraq to fail.. ''It's Bush' fault''… Never has there been any worse leadership in American History..

JoeDoakes101   September 1st, 2010 - 10:16 pm

Mr. Obama,

If "Earl" shellacks Washington D.C. You should all of us a favor and just go home. Just take your stuff, pack up the kids and go. We will still pay you and provide lifetime security. But if that aint a sign the All Mighty – I don't know what is.

Good Luck,

Joe

Spanky2   September 1st, 2010 - 11:11 pm

Under the Clinton Administration, 9/11 was:
Provoked
Strategized
Financed
Recruited
Trained
Planned
Infiltrated
Rehearsed, and
Ignored.

Spanky2   September 1st, 2010 - 11:14 pm

"What did he do right in years 1 – 7 ? "

Bush took office just after the stock market crash and at the very beginning of a recession.

Within ONE MONTH of his first budget becoming effective (Oct 1, 2001), the Clinton recession ended.

The war in Iraq has cost less than any of several of Obama's failed stimulus bills and programs.

Bush's last budget deficit was $160B. Obama's first budget deficit was $1,400B.

obama has won a war, reduced illegal immigration, prevented a terrorist attack, resolved an environmental disaster in a few months and now unemployment is down and stocks are up.

bush: lost a war, let illegal immigration rise, allowed a terror attack, massively screwed up Katrina which is STILL a problem and destroyed an economy worse than any Prez ever…. and all repubs have is racist hate of our C in C.

wow

Videojimmy   September 2nd, 2010 - 11:45 am

I know, he should have been more like Bush and just given billions away to oil companies already making record profits and to Halliburtion and their no bid contracts for jobs they never finished.

as for you whining about abortion in Kenya… since when do you righties care about Muslims or dead black kids?
