Lesson Learned?: When Touting Iraq War Success, Biden now Gives Bush Credit. Vice President Joe Biden gave some credit to former President George W. Bush Monday, in a rare nod to a man Biden and other officials in the Obama White House have continually bashed, signaling a possible change in the White House’s public statements, at least about war strategy.

Biden was in Iraq over the Fourth of July weekend and said that the American people will be able to see Obama’s Iraq policy as successful. He added the White House “will be able to point to it and say, ‘We told you what we’re going to do, and we did it,’” Biden said in an interview with Politico Monday.

And then he said Bush can take part in that, “I sound corny, but I think America gets credit here in the region. And I think everybody gets credit, from George Bush to [President Obama],” said Biden.

The compliment, albeit small, was a shift from Biden’s assaults on Bush war policies, or his claim earlier this year that Iraq would actually be one of the Obama administration’s greatest achievements.


DID HELL FREEZE OVER? NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT IF IT DID!

Iraq was a success before those two morons took office. Wheather you agree or not with going to Iraq, Bush won Iraq, these two were against the surge and now they want to bask in the success. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!

Biden and Obama were both claiming Iraq was a failure top to bottom. Another reason to hate Bush and his policies that they both opposed. They "inherited" everything else from Bush, why don't they admit they "inherited" this success from Bush. You can bet these cowards and children in this administration would be in full "Blame Bush" mode if it was not going well. If you're going to try to blame everything on what happened before you when it goes bad then you can't take credit when it goes good. Obama and his clowns did nothing in Iraq and yet that is the ONE place they are pointing to for their success. Isn't it ironic that the only thing they haven't touched is the one that succeeded? Remember Obama telling us that Iraq was NOT the focus of this administration? They were focusing on Afghanistan. How are things going in Afghanistan? Tell you anything?

If they had 1/2 a brain in the lot of them they would have left the economy alone and could have long before now been touting how they had brought the economy back.
