WH Quizzed on Biden Saying Iraq ‘Could Be One of the Great Achievements of This Administration’

ABC News: At the briefing today, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about Biden calling Iraq one of the great potential achievements of the Obama administration given that Biden had previously advocated that the country should be divided into thirds and split among Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis, and then-Sen. Obama opposing the surge of US troops that many experts argue helped bring stability that allowed the reconciliation process to continue. In fact, in January 2007 then-Sen. Obama said that he was "not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence. In fact, I think it will do the reverse." Gibbs said the achievement was "putting what was broken back together and getting our troops home, which we intend to do in August of this year."

You bunch of lieing bast@#ds, the past 3 years you idiots said you would not support increase in troops you said it wouldn’t work and now the Fabian Socialist party is taking credit for the war. Every dam one of you Socialist can kiss my a@# our troops have givin life and limb and you wouldn’t stand by them and support them and now it was you who saved the day. We are getting real close to a show down.

Snailmailtrucker   February 11th, 2010 - 4:24 pm

I seem to remember Biden and Obama claiming that Iraq was a lost cause…and again, if I remember correctly Obama voted against the SURGE in Iraq while he was acting as a Senator ….but now they want to claim it as their VICTORY?
haha
These people are complete lunatics!

I DEMAND TO SEE OBAMA’S MEDCIAL RECORDS (and all other records) to prove that he does not have extensive psychiatric disorders and that he is failing to take his medication for his GOD complex!

Greg Klug   February 11th, 2010 - 4:26 pm

Baghdad Bob……at it again.

Don’t fire this guy, Mr. President. He’s the perfect reflection of your party.

bulldawg   February 11th, 2010 - 4:29 pm

Gibbs is a socialist s@#rm burbing pr@#k, and he needs his a@# kicked up between his shoulders, this makes me so dam mad that our so called Pres. and his puppets would spit on our troops like this, you bunch of Socialist, Marxist pigs I hope you all meet your maker real soon, by the way Barry it’s 72 Virginians not Virgins

Kmichaels   February 11th, 2010 - 4:36 pm

Gibbs answer was IT WAS BUSH”S FAULT and now that Obama is here everything is magically delicious.
God, what dumbass lying freaks Obama and his team are.

john   February 11th, 2010 - 4:45 pm

This guy is worse than Baghdad Bob! Wow! Was it Bush’s fault it turned out so well??

If Biden and Obama had actually had their way, it would be split up in 3 parts and there would be massive civil war and Iran would be helping the majority Shiites, gaining more influence all the way to Egypt.

Waaa…Its Bushes fault…obama inherited this problem…its not his fault

As far as the Iraq war is concerned, the only thing Barack did right was vote against it in the first place. That is one thing that I have always agreed with him on.

The OPPONENTS of the SURGE now take credit?   February 11th, 2010 - 5:28 pm

Biden is a lying Bozo – this is laughable – Obama RAILED AGAINST the surge – despite the fact that IT WORKED!

Credibility of the DemoKKKratSS = ZERO / None / zilch / nada

FastFacts   February 11th, 2010 - 5:32 pm

Iraq is a gaffe a minute. Why do we or the WH even listen to him. Pray Obama stays safe so he or Pelosi doesn’t become President. Then pray that we get him out of Washington.

Gibb's new nickname is BEAKER from the muppets   February 11th, 2010 - 5:49 pm

All of these bafoons, Obama, Gibbs, Reid, Pelosi, Biden and about 200 others were TOTALLY against the surge that worked, and now they are taking credit? ROFLMAO!!

James   February 11th, 2010 - 5:53 pm

boy, Gibbs sure had to root around in the cellar to try to come up with some reasonable explanation of Biden’s comments and as usual, said absolutely fkg nothing.

that is what this administration is… absolutely fkg nothing but a bunch of corrupt socialist dolts.

when this group leaves in 2012, they better count the silver and check the bank accounts.

Sai Chai   February 11th, 2010 - 5:57 pm

A PURE B.S. moment, Mr. Gibbs. But I thoroughly enjoyed your trying to make sense out of each meandering sentence you spun.

yo14   February 11th, 2010 - 6:04 pm

Biden is NOT a BOZO!!!!!! Can you eat at a restaurant yesterday that closed seven years ago? Didn’t think so. But Joe Biden can.

Can you spell Job with 4 letters? Didn’t thinks so. But Joe Biden can.

So before you start messing with Joe Biden, Remember Obama said Nobody messes Joe Biden. You better check yourself Oponents of the surge.

Anne   February 11th, 2010 - 6:10 pm

These guys in the Obama Administration have no class. They spend all their time blaming Bush, and then steal one of his achievements and claim credit for it. What a bunch of guttersnipes!

Of course the credit grabbing lying bags of garbage lay claim now. You go to war with the democrats you have, not the democrats you want.

H2K   February 11th, 2010 - 6:36 pm

I used to admire Gibby for his ability to lie to cover for Obama’s ineptitude. When they lie and take credit for the sacrifice of our troops, this sh_!t needs to stop. NOW

DA BEARRRS   February 11th, 2010 - 6:37 pm

Biden is Obama’s guarantee that he won’t be impeached. Would you want this senile moron with his finger on the button?

thefedupamerican   February 11th, 2010 - 6:42 pm

Iraq…just another in a long list of self-proclaimed ‘historic accomplishments’ by the Obama Administration. http://www.thefedupamerican.com

skipper99   February 11th, 2010 - 6:49 pm

The Obama Regime has now reached the point of complete and total deniability. Time and time over, Gibbs gives implausible excuses for unfathomable statements, of which he has not the slightest inkling of what he is espousing about.

father_moray   February 11th, 2010 - 6:52 pm

This jackLoad looks like my Dad’s 38 nash…broadHead with a Flat Drop…can this guy get any more offensive? yes, with every balloon that floats outa his pieHole…what a kooosch…

4aRepublic   February 11th, 2010 - 6:54 pm

The sad part of this is that neither Biden or Obamao presented this as something the United States of America did to help the people of Iraq. The current administration is too self-centered and too hell bent on being progressives (Marxists) and while I never expect them to give the previous administration credit for anything that was well done, I do feel they should acknowledge it was an accomplishment made possible by Americans- yes, those brave ones doing the hard work.

R from ID   February 11th, 2010 - 7:08 pm

It’s simple. This adminstration and them Dems blame everything on Bush and take no responsiblility.

Unless they can take credit for something they didn’t do.

Jay Busta   February 11th, 2010 - 7:32 pm

Well, I think Joe’s just being modest. I think Obama’s achievement of everlasting world peace and free healthcare for not just US citizens but all the people (and animals) all over the world, and beyond to include any creatures found in the solar system…I think those are Obama’s key achievements of his first minute in office. But that’s just me.

BeefSupreme   February 11th, 2010 - 7:40 pm

Further proof that the Obama administration doubts that most Americans can remember what they ate for breakfast.

Dr.Edu   February 11th, 2010 - 7:44 pm

You can’t make this up even if it was for an SNL thing.
But then again, consider the source: the only reason why Dumbama chose Binden is because Biden is the only one ’stupidier’ that ‘the Drak Lord’.

“GIBBS why don’t you and Obama take a 3 year Sabbatical in Hawaii and leave the White House to Michele and the fat kids”

temple62   February 11th, 2010 - 7:45 pm

Gibbs doesn’t get it. One thing the country will not debate is how stupid this idiot spokesperson really is. He is embarrassing himself and the country to the world every time he labors through an answer, most are unbelievable! He is not embarrassing Obama, he is simply parroting his illogical excuses for this administration’s statement. I wonder if they have thought of simply cancelling these engagements? It is not just FOX, the other reporters are now questioning the actions and the excuses of this gang of wanna-bes. I’ll look at my watch when Gibbs tells me the time of day.

kmichaels   February 11th, 2010 - 7:57 pm

Now again, for a little trivia

The name Gibbs comes from the same root word as does the name Goebbels.

The only difference is that Goebbels is the german version of the Scottish name Gibbs.

Both mean BOLD, as in bold faced LIARS.

More strange still is that Gibbs married a Mary and Goebbels married a Magda, meaning from the town of Mary

Magda ended up poisoning their kids on behalf of Derr Leader.

My advice, Mary’s kids, beware.

I have said this before. Will say it again…watching and listening to these nitwit dolts is much more fun then watching SNL or The Daily Show. Hiliarious.

Mike   February 11th, 2010 - 10:34 pm

Gibbs: “putting back together what was broken”. Huh??? If Obama and Joe Biden had their way we would have lost the war in Iraq several years ago! Put back together?? Obama was AGAINST the surge, against FUNDING of the war, against General Petraeus’ STRATEGY on the war, and NEVER wanted to go into Iraq in the first place! Joe “gaffe a minute” Biden wanted America to “DUCK AND RUN” when things got tough in Iraq and wanted to SPLIT Iraq into “three separate entities” and all the while was AGAINST the surge, and now he wants to give the Obama administration the credit for all that has been accomplished in Iraq saying in essence that the Obama administration acheived the victory??

Either Joe Biden has totally lost his mind or he simply doesn’t remember history very well or the facts. Yet Obama and his cronies are sooooo persistent in blaming Bush for all of Obama’s woes and for the country going to hell in a hand basket even as we speak. Yet they seem to forget that George Bush has been out of the White House for over a year now and when Bush left unemployment was well under 8 percent and that was AFTER the sub-prime meltdown had already occurred. The Stimulus was an “utter” failure and that was ALL Obama’s doing! The majority of the bailouts are ALL Obama’s doing! The 3.8 TRILLION dollar budget recently passed by the Democratzi (in the worst recession since the GREAT DEPRESSION) are ALL Obama’s doing!! I’ve NEVER met a Democrat yet that isn’t just thrilled to pieces in spending everybody else’ money until it’s ALL GONE! And IT’S ALL GONE FOLKS!! The money the Dems are printing 24/7/365 isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and if things keep going the way they are ‘inflation’ will destroy the United States of America along with the ENORMOUS CRUSHING DEBT that this Administration is accumulating in massive red ink stains as far as the eye can see and then some – by their reckless spending.. spending.. spending.. spending.. spending.. UNTIL IT’S ALL GONE! And IT’S ALREADY ALL GONE FOLKS!!! Thanks to the ineptitude of the clueless Obama administration who have no idea how to run a lemonade stand let alone our United States Government or America as a whole. When Obama has other people writing his speeches (no effort on his part) and then reads what other people have written for him by way of teleprompters, other people writing the bills, other people taking the blame for his failures, other people covering bis backside in the Media, other people telling him he’s a genius and can do no wrong, other people taking the fall for his mistakes, other people passing out his Kool-Aid (and drinking it at the same time), it’s no wonder then why Obama seems to have lost touch with the American people and some would say with reality… “WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!” Yeah right.. dude! If that means all of the progressive liberal loons who voted him into office and who in many instances hate our American values and/or hate the United States of America itself and what it has stood for the last 233 + years i.e. LIFE, LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, JUSTICE, EQUALITY, FREEDOM.. then he could be on to something.. ;) Or ‘On’ something, whichever the case may be.

2012 or BUST! One term Prez if I ever saw one..

Calvin&Hobbes   February 11th, 2010 - 11:20 pm

Baghdad Bob the Spin Miester & Obama Propaganda Czar, aka Robert Gibbs, is at it again.

Baghdad Bob quotes:
“These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying”.
“They do not even have control over themselves! Do not believe them!”

Words to live by Mr. Gibbs… words to live by.

Early Cuyler   February 11th, 2010 - 11:21 pm

I’d like to hear Obama say that he inherited this achievement. Won’t happen, of course.

Paul   February 12th, 2010 - 6:35 am

Give Gibbs a break. It’s hard enough covering for OB in front of the Press Corpse…but having to defend bin-Biden’s comments as well, makes his job an impossible task. Baghdad Bob has my sympathy.

Denise   February 12th, 2010 - 1:00 pm

I know why Obama keeps Gibbs as his “Press Secretary”. Gibbs can and will lie when the truth would be a better story. And Obama likes people who can follow his lead in lying out of both sides of his mouth!

Steve in Phoenix   February 12th, 2010 - 8:32 pm

This adminstration believes their constituants are idiots and I have to aggree. That is why they say these outlandish things because their constutiants are idiots. Average Americans on the other hand are smart and see thru this BS. The adminstration can say what ever they want because they just reveal to average Americans their incompetance. They poll their idiot constituants and they hear yes yes great great. But the average American sees just how naked they are. If it wasn’t for the fact that they screwing with our future it would be laughable. Gibbs will forever be remembered as the whitehouse version of Bagdad Bob. I for one will never let him forget it. A sane man would resign before spewing this BS in front of eduacated adults.

Steve in Phoenix   February 12th, 2010 - 8:40 pm

If I am not mistaked there is a teleprompter built into Gibbs’s podium we all saw it on camera the other day, and doesn’t he have a stack of notes. Yet he with the blessing of Obama( he is Obama’s spokesperson afterall) Mocks and ridicules Palin for writing 5 words on her hand. It is clear that she did not need all the tools that Gibbs needs to talk.
