On yesterday, President Obama simply did not give President George W. Bush, who against great unpopularity, maintained a commitment to staying the course in Iraq. He also championed the surge strategy that ultimately led to significant success in Iraq. Now, whether you like President Bush or not, you have to admit that he did start the Iraq War; therefore, he should have been given more credit by President Obama for the success in Iraq and for helping to provide the troops with the support they needed to come home with the honor that they have earned. Instead of giving President Bush a truly appreciative tribute, President Obama elected to simply tell him thank you for his “love of country” and his support of the troops. Wow! Really? That was such a general acknowledgement of President Bush that it could have been for anyone who supported the troops and who love America. I was deeply disappointed by President Obama’s failure to do the right thing and give President Bush the proper credit he deserves. In general, I thought President Obama’s primetime address to the nation was quite weak. He lacked focus. He went from one thing to the next without giving any substance on any issue. I think that President Obama is a really nice guy, but his performance in office thus far has not been satisfying at all. I was really hoping to hear him give the American people a serious national security and foreign policy address, but he gave us a bunch of random statements instead. In short, President Obama totally disrespected President Bush by not giving him the true praise he deserves for helping to bring the troops home with the honor they have earned. I will continue to look for President Obama to ameliorate his performance in office.

Success in Iraq? WTF? They are trying to bury the story/turn the page. 50,000 troops are still there and will be there for many, many years.

Stupid no gun taxes, don't you understand? Something good happens = Obama's fault. Something bad happens = Bush's fault.

Nothing good has happened in Iraq including Obama lying about when he'd get us out of there.

What success in Iraq? We've lost 4,400 people, wounded hundreds of thousands more, spent a trillion dollars that we don't have and Iraq is still a mess without a government, oh, and we eliminated Iran's most feared enemy. You have a crazy definition of "success".

the stated purpose of the war was to find and destroy Iraq's stockpiles of WMDs. stop his nuclear program. and end his support for Al Qaeda. Given they didn't have any WMDs, nor nuclear program and Saddam wasn't aiding Al Qaeda, I don't know how anyone could call this war a "success". We believe Saddam has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons. Vice President Cheney, 3/16/03
Saddam has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of biological weapons, including Anthrax, botulism, toxins and possibly smallpox. He's amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons, including VX, Sarin and mustard gas. --Don Rumsfeld, 9/19/02
Iraq will be an affordable endeavor that will not require sustained aid and will be in the range of $50 billion to $60 billion. White House Budget Director Mitch Daniels [Forbes 4/11/03, W. Post 3/28/03, NY Times 1/2/03, respectively]
The oil revenues of Iraq could bring between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years. We're dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon. Paul Wolfowitz, [Congressional Testimony, 3/27/03]

I hope he's not still around, but I won't be surprised if he is. He had some weird marriage, didn't he?

Wolfowitz? Of course he is. Being 100% wrong is no hindrance to a full time job as a neo-con policy advisor.
I hope he's not still around, but I won't be surprised if he is.
