Obama Is Going To Take Credit For Bush’s Victory In Iraq
Listening to Obama announce his foreign policy team today I heard him say that he will soon be giving our military a “new mission,” and that mission will be to “responsibly end” the war in Iraq and leave the country under the control of the Iraqi government.
The problem? Bush has already pretty much done that, and more.
The terrorists have been defeated. Violence is way, way down. The elected Iraqi government is in control, and we’re one step away from an agreement with that government that will set a date to bring out troops home.
So what exactly is Obama going to do? Outside of follow through on what Bush has already put in place?
Obama will take credit for ending the war in Iraq, and the media will let him get away with it because they were as wrong as he was about the war, but Bush should get credit for winning it.
