Joe Biden on Iraq: More on Why People Hate the Democrats

A follow up to my post from the other day, "'In Order to Gain Domestic Power'."

I looked for the video of Vice President's Joe Biden comments on Iraq last week. Betsy Newmark had an awesome post on this, "Joe Biden's Fantasy World":
Joe Biden went on Larry King last night and told us that Iraq could be "one of the great achievements of this administration." This administration? In the fantasy world in which Joe Biden, and perhaps Barack Obama, are the stars of a saga of heroic battles for peace, justice and some other stuff like that what has happened in Iraq is a credit to "this administration."

How about the previous administration whose policies in Iraq Biden and Barack Obama had endlessly criticized and voted against. They both opposed the surge that brought about the situation that Biden now wants to take credit for. And Biden's big proposal was his dopey idea to divide Iraq into three separate territories. And if Obama had had his way, we would have pulled our troops out of there before Bush's administration was even over. The only credit that "this administration" deserves is for not messing too much with the much improved situation that Bush fought to bring to Iraq.
And check out this awesome clip, c/o Voting Female Speaks! ...

    Nothing more sad than an old leftist hypocrite....probably why so-called moderates like Evan Bayh are even jumping this sinking ship.

    So, if you suggest the blame for the crappy economy might lie on Bush's head, everyone starts running around yelling,"When are you going to let go of the BDS!!! That was like, what, a whole year ago!!! Obama completely owns that stuff now, including TARP!"

    But, oh my, let someone give credit to current administrations ongoing efforts to wrap up a poorly conceived war that was still raging when the last guy left office, and all of a sudden the cry becomes, "Hands of you dirty traitors! That's ours! you can't have it- even if we dumped all the clean-up work in your laps!"

    Hypocrites, much?
