OBAMA SHAMELESSLY TAKES CREDIT FOR VICTORY IN IRAQ
DESPITE OPPOSITION TO THE SURGE AND FIGHTING BUSH EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Barack Obama and his allies in Congress, Democrat Senate leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, did all they could to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq. They fought President Bush at every turn. When Senator John McCain and our military leaders said we needed a troop surge, Bush listened. Obama and his consortium of anti-military Congressional pals opposed it.
But Bush and McCain proved themselves to be right as our military men and women have led us to a spectacular victory in Iraq. While it isn’t over, we have largely pacified the country and took the huge oil resources of Iraq out of the potential hands of terrorists. Obama seems to forget that the number one job of President is to keep America safe.
If that wasn’t annoying enough, don’t you think Obama owed it to President Bush and Senator McCain to acknowledge their tough decisions and perseverance that has led to this victory? He didn’t mention them at all, except a cheap shot at Bush for getting us into Iraq in the first place. We were totally disgusted by this performance.
To make matters worse, Obama just announced the basic withdrawal plan that has already begun under President Bush – a plan that allows us to withdraw with victory, and not the defeat that Obama would have given us had he had his way and no military surge had taken place. Then, contrary to all of the military advice, he gives a specific timetable so our enemy knows how long it will take to wait us out?
OBAMA’S ACTIONS REMIND US OF THE
FAILED DEFENSE POLICIES OF JIMMY CARTER
Barack Obama is basically implementing President Bush’s policies, which he has fought tooth and nail. The big difference is that President Bush seemed to understand the dangers of letting up on Al Qaeda, while Obama is giving them every opportunity to wait us out with his definite timetable and then come back.

people by contributing to MAF now.
Americans know who the real heroes of the Iraq war are: our troops who fought so bravely in every engagement; our generals like General David H. Petraeus who stood up to Congress and answered the tough questioning from anti-military defeatist liberals; President Bush showed remarkable courage with his commitment to winning the war in Iraq, even when public opinion was against him.
And let’s not forget Senator John McCain, who jeopardized his campaign for President by speaking the truth that we needed to send a surge of troops into Iraq.
President Obama on the other hand, opposed the surge and STILL refuses to acknowledge its vital role in the victory. He ran his campaign to appeal to the most left-wing elements of our society on a platform of retreat and defeat, and now he has the audacity he has to stand in front of our troops and tell them their time is up.
Keep Gitmo Open Campaign Needs Your Help
We are still working hard to raise money for the TV campaign to Keep Gitmo Open. We know economic times are tough, and we have not been able to raise enough money to get this important ad on the air. We don’t have much time to sway public opinion, which is inclined in our favor. If we don’t’ do something soon, we are afraid Obama is going to bring these terrorists right into our country. That would be a disaster, and we know that terrorists will be going free to strike at Americans again.

President Obama has signalled his intention to pull US troops out of Iraq but to strengthen the force in Afghanistan. It’s obvious what he’s really doing, he decided to start again at the letter ‘A’. After invading Bolivia, Columbia, Denmark, England, France, Germany and Holland he’ll be back in Iraq, no doubt about it.

I’m in Australia and follow U.S. politics a bit. I have been amused but angry at the way all the hard work done by the U.S. military under Bush’s command is now credited to Obama. Unfortunately, given the way most of the media (here as well!) have been kissing Obama’s butt, this had to be expected.
I also had to laugh at a news story I heard just this morning regarding the opening up of Iraq’s oil contracts. It seems U.S. based oil companies are not yet interested in bidding. Remember when all the anti-Bush protesters were claiming it was all about America stealing Iraq’s oil? They’ve gone quiet about that now.
