I wonder what else the Obama worshipers will try to give him credit for?  Let’s hope some scientist isn’t sitting on the cure for cancer and will only reveal it after 20 January 2009.

From the official Obama propaganda machine:

In the last year, though, the U.S. troop surge and the backlash from moderate Iraqi Sunnis against Al Qaeda and Iraqi Shiites against pro-Iranian extremists have brought a new measure of stability to Iraq. There is now, for the first time, a chance — still only a chance — that a reasonably stable democratizing government, though no doubt corrupt in places, can take root in the Iraqi political space.

That is the Iraq that Obama is inheriting. It is an Iraq where we have to begin drawing down our troops — because the occupation has gone on too long and because we have now committed to do so by treaty — but it is also an Iraq that has the potential to eventually tilt the Arab-Muslim world in a different direction.

I’m sure that Obama, whatever he said during the campaign, will play this smart. He has to avoid giving Iraqi leaders the feeling that Bush did — that he’ll wait forever for them to sort out their politics — while also not suggesting that he is leaving tomorrow, so they all start stockpiling weapons.

If he can pull this off, and help that decent Iraq take root, Obama and the Democrats could not only end the Iraq war but salvage something positive from it. Nothing would do more to enhance the Democratic Party’s national security credentials than that.

And if you try to tell the Obama faithful any different, it will be met with the usual belligerence and faithful adulation to the lord and savior, B. Hussein Obama.

Prediction:  Hillary will be dispatched to Iraq mid February to sign some meaningless treaty with Iraq for the socialist(D) party “Victory in Iraq” photo op.

Good job Obama media!

The Lord sayeth:

“But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars.”– Then-Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, October 2, 2002^[87]

Yep, the worst was encouraged (Democratic government) and al-Qaeda recruitment is so strong, they’re strapping explosives to retarded thirteen year old girls.
