What would Iraq look like today if we had followed Obama and the Dems in 2006?
Pres Bush's courageous leadership brought Iraq to this point.
Sen. McCain's leadership kept Dems like Obama from pulling the plug in 2007!
We saw lots of profiles in courage from Bush and McCain.
We saw a lot of "telling people what they wanted to hear" from Obama!
Today, Pres Obama confirmed that Pres Bush was right.
He didn't say it. He just implemented the Bush-McCain policy in Iraq:
"He summed up America's achievement in Iraq thus:
"We sent our troops to Iraq to do away with Saddam Hussein's regime -- and you got the job done.
We kept our troops in Iraq to help establish a sovereign government -- and you got the job done.
And we will leave the Iraqi people with a hard-earned opportunity to live a better life -- that is your achievement; that is the prospect that you have made possible." (WSJ)
During the campaign, many in the left mocked Sen McCain about the 100 year war in Iraq.
Of course, McCain was simply talking about leaving a force behind.
Today, Pres BO implemented the Bush-McCain plan. We are leaving 50,000 troops in Iraq. As McCain said, Iraq will be like South Korea after the Korean War or Germany after WW2.
Do you think that any of the "yes we can" screamers will apologize to McCain or Bush?
As we posted before, BO was lucky to be wrong about Iraq.
Let's hope that he has better judgement in Afghanistan!
