Bush created this mess he shouldn't get any praise. that's like someone breaking a vase then wanting credit for using super glue to put it back together.

Are you too stupid or just too partisan to understand what happened? All the surge did was get more of our troops killed. Obama campaigned on ending this unwinnable police action in Iraq. He has done it. Mission actually accomplished for a change. Why should Bush get ANY credit? For anything?

you're no position to call anyone too stupid or partisan to understand what happened....even obama says you're being stupid adn partisan on this issue:

LANCASTER, Pa. — Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Thursday that the escalation of U.S. troops in Iraq, which he had opposed, has succeeded in reducing violence "beyond our wildest dreams."

I don't give a shit what Obama or Bush or McCain or anyone else says concerning the "success" of the surge. What did we win???

 

[VaYank5150]

And this violence was caused by.......wait for it. OUR invasion of their sovereign nation. Does anyone esle see the irony in the "success" of the surge? Basically, if the surge was such a success, doesn't that simply mean tha Bush didn't have shit for a plan to begin with and didn't send enough troops to do the job originally? Another name for the "surge" could easily have been "do-over"....

The right shouldn't even mention Bush's name and Iraq in the same sentence. Its bullshit to me.

That man got a lot of people killed and for what? What did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Talk about respecting GZ, the freaking republicans voted against the first responders...AGAINST THEM and they have the balls to say anything?

Bush started that war on a lie. He should get credit now? For what?

We removed a threat that won't end up biting us in the ass again for one.


There are several others....but I'm not gonna waste the time telling you about them.

Problem is if this isn't handled right it will all blow up in our faces.

A threat to whom? When did Saddam bite us in the ass the first time???

Bush should get credit for preempting and invading a sovereign nation, killing off thousands of innocent Iraq citizens, torturing, murdering & raping of innocent chained & detained women and children, murdering & butchering of US troops, destroying the American economy and casting us into an economic Depression.

Since he left his mess for others to clean up (another promise he broke), the spoils go to the Victor that has the gawwd given sense to put an end to the madness of the toxic right wing.

None of the shit you posted is true.

And Obama is inheriting success in Iraq.....but he'll never give Bush credit where credit is due.

Ahh, but it is true. I am showing you it is true, and sorry, but you lose 1 point of credibility.

Another photo shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner.[10]

Other photos show sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube, and a female prisoner having her clothing forcibly removed to expose her breasts.[10]

Taguba has supported President Obama's decision not to release the photos, stating, “These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency.”[10]

In other alleged cases, female inmates were said to be raped by soldiers. [12].

In one reported case, senior US officials admitted rape had taken place at Abu Ghraib.[13]

Children, he said, “suffer from torture, rape, (and) starvation” and do not know why they have been arrested. He added the children have been victims of “random” arrests “not based on any legal text.” [14]

Didn't see any rape photos.

By the way....I've witnessed some sick shit while in the military. Bush wasn't Prez at the time so you can't blame Bush for everything that some of his troops do or are alleged to have done.

Truth is nothing we've done even compares to the lopping off of prisoners heads and blowing up hundreds of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children with bombs.

Meanwhile, I am STILL waiting for an answer. Maybe you should check with Faux News and get back to me?

This is hysterical....the topic creator thinks the surge worked...HAHAHAH... Is there a Government in Iraq ? No there is not...The purpose of the surge..per bush..was to provide "Political Breathing Space" for a functioning government. That did not happen... Thus the Surge did not work. End of story. Mods you can close the thread now.

This is a great post. Bang on. I hadn't thought of it like that but you are right.

I don't think they're going to listen to you.

The surge caused the Level of Violence and loss of US troops to decline sharply and did indeed provide an environment where the Iraqis should have been able to set up a stable government. If they have not that is not the fault of the Surge.

The facts are clear here. Obama Opposed the surge and wanted us to tuck and run when the Violence was at it's highest. Which would have been clearly seen as a defeat around the world.

Thank god Obama and the Dems did not get their way. We did get the surge which has allowed us to get out maybe with out a victory, but not with the stunning defeat we would have been seen to receive if we had tucked and ran when Obama and Reid were saying we had lost and should get out.


Obama also talked about how we failed to protect our Economy from the problems it has now, and implied that was Bushes and the Republicans fault alone. Ignoring the Fact that his party was in power since 2007 in congress, and he himself opposed Bushes calls to reform fanny and Freddy as he was voting present in congress over and over.

Maybe you need to go back and read.....because I gave you an answer yesterday.

Now that Obama has proudly proclaimed that combat operations in Iraq is over he has set up a dangerous scenario. If violence escalates and commanders on the ground begin calling for armor and more troops to handle the violence it might take months for Obama to respond. It took Obama 3 solid months to decide to send more troops to Afghanistan. So meanwhile 50,000 of our men and women in uniform are still at risk.

Wow...you really think the surge worked? What victory did we get? We are still losing troops lives. You repubs are amazing. IRAQ has no government and you just sit there and say well it's there fault... BS, we were there to assist them in doing it and we could not because of continued violence...People still getting blown up at elections...it's ridiculous to think the surge worked and that we had a victory. You just can't admit that your prior idiot president screwed up. Like the prior posted said...the Surge was just a d-over for what they didn't do the first time... And did we even remotely stop terrorism? Nope..

And guess what, the purpose of the Surge was so that a government could be established. It never happened..Who cares what the IRAQIS didin't do. No gov't = failed surge... and soldiers are still getting killed ... The most bogus war ever and the Arabs won.. i'm actually happy about that, because it makes Bush looks stupid like he is.
