“The war in Iraq broke the back of operational Al Qaida”
ROFLMAO!
Al Queda of Iraq still exists as does plain old regular Al Queda.
Where are the WMDs?
Perhaps you should concern yourself with that versus Obama’s college transcripts and racists assertions that he must have benefited from affirmative action.

“Obama was not privy to the Iraq intelligence as he was not an elected Senator”
Perhaps that was a good thing considering how the Bush admin played fast and loose with said intelligence (see suitcase nukes, Armey and Cheney).

Obama was not privy to the Iraq intelligence as he was not an elected Senator. He voted against the war because of his ideology and without knowing the facts. Democrats, including the leaders who had seen the intelligence, voted to go to war.

“I think its more important that Obama saw the Iraq War for the mistake it was before it happened.” – Ryan C
Ha ha ha!
Funny that NoBo will get not only the effect of the Surge wrong but also the Important Positive Historical Significance of the Iraqi War itself.

Hey Ryan,are you thumping your chest over the hundreds of Americans killed by Obama’s Afghan policies?Bush killed a hell of a lot more Al Qaida in Iraq that Obama has (or will) in Afghanistan.The war in Iraq broke the back of operational Al Qaida;if you had any contact with the military you might learn something.

Obama voted against the surge as a senator, and the left liberals called Gen. Petraeus be-tray-us and now they think Petraeus is the greatest Gen. in the world and Obama(under Bush’s Gates) that Gates and Petraeus recommended another surge and Obama went with it( because he knows NOTHING about the military) will be glad to take the credit for “Bush’s” victory in Iraq !!! He was doing what he was told to do and now they deserve to be called what they are- a bunch of HYPERCRITES!!!!

“cause it was exactly what President Bush had planned and agreed to all along”
Then why is the right wing freaking out at him for withdrawing combat troops?

I think its more important that Obama saw the Iraq War for the mistake it was before it happened.
Meanwhile, right wingers thump their chests over 4000 dead American soldiers cheering “We Won!”

“The surge is not working.”
- Obama for American website changed in July 2008
