#1 What are we doing now. We are doing what Barak OBama said 14 months ago - turning it over to the Iraqi's and drawing down our troops.

Excuse me, but wasn't that the plan ALL ALONG. For at least the last 4-5 years?

And as I recall OBama is planning to draw down our troops regardless of the situation - even if the Terrorists are in full career.

(After all what's a few million Iraqi's (or Vietmanese or Cambodians for that matter) as long as the DNC can get into power?)

#2 I had originally thought he would be able to more or less hold his own debating Palin. Now I'm all but convinced that she's going to stomp a mud hole in his ass...

#3 In one of my previous Rantburg reincarnations I predicted that the Democrats would take credit for the surge working. The most credible line of attack that they would use, I thought, was that they 'put pressure' on Bush and the Iraqis to make progress on the security and stability fronts.

I never expected Biden to so blatently lie about it though.

#4 The difference between Obamba's timeline and Bush's moving troops out of Iraq, is simple.

"We will stand down our troops as the Iraqi's stand up."

Searching that phrase on Google and I get this:
Results 1 - 10 of about 259,000 for We will stand down our troops as the Iraqis stand up.".

I understand 259,000 times that quote has been referenced. Guess he must have said it. Seems, that is now what is happening.

#7 What?! The enemy didn't follow the Coaliton timeline? Whatever shall we do? I think we should enact a law that says this kind of behavior shall be met with retreat and surrender. That'll show them!

#11 Hey, guys. Why so skeptical? After all, Obama caused Russia to withdraw from Georgia with just one public statement 3 days after the invasion.

yeah, but a bidet is useful, and you would most definitely NOT want any sort of a hairplug in one of those.........

#13 Joe Biden is such a fricken Genius that he invented the first square hairplugs for his A-HOLE.
