In related news, Satan appeared on planet Earth today and credited himself with the founding of Christianity.

Are you freaking kidding me?

I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.

I spent — I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months — three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society. It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.

Biden and Obama opposed every single aspect of the Iraq War.

Biden and Obama opposed and criticized the Iraq surge.

Biden and Obama farmed every political talking point they could find to oppose the Bush Administration on Iraq.

Biden and Obama continue to bash their predecessors every chance they get.

And now they want to take credit for the success in Iraq???

Oh, but wait!

Sarah Palin has something written on her hand!!!!

The year is 2001. The debate is post 9/11 and it’s Charles Krauthammer versus known leftist and terror apologist, Tariq Ali.

DON’T watch these videos unless you like:

A. Charles Krauthammer

and/or

B. The taste of blood

PART I

PART II

Dissent under Bush was patriotic.

Dissent under Obama is a “mob.”

The wars in the middle east under Bush were “treason.” Obama hasn’t ended the wars and needs more troops for Afghanistan.

The left accused Bush of having a “shadow government.” Obama really HAS a shadow government.

Dick Cheney was accused of favoring Halliburton.

Obama really IS favoring General Electric.

Nancy Pelosi lies and  accuses conservative protesters of having nazi signs. Liberal Bush protesters openly acused Bush of being a nazi.

The left accused the Bush Administration of being Big Brother. The Obama Administration is OPENLY acting like Big Brother.

The left is accusing average American citizens of being astroturfers. Obama and his chief advisor David Axelrod are successful because of their expertise in astroturfing.

Bush critics said he was violating the civil rights of American citizens. Obama loyalists want ObamaCare protesters named, photographed and indexed.

Obama, the Democrats and their leftist base are engaging in and embracing EVERY SINGLE THING they falsely accused the Bush Administration of doing, and worse.

Down is up.

Poor is rich.

War is peace.

Elitism is equality.

Lies are truth.

Welcome to Bizarro America.

No, actually, it isn’t. And many people are noticing this fact.

Doug Powers, writing at Hot Air’s Green Room notes:

“It’s amazing enough that Obama’s entire statement on the successes in Iraq didn’t positively acknowledge the troops or Bush, without whom none of the progress in Iraq that Obama is essentially taking credit for would have been possible…”

A fact that’s lost on many Americans, is that this draw down of the troops is rightly credited to George W. Bush, not Obama. CNN buried that fact down at the bottom of their report:

“The U.S. withdrawal was part of an agreement signed last year between former President George W. Bush’s administration and the Iraq leadership. The agreement calls for all U.S. forces to leave Iraq by the end of 2011.”

Wasn’t it then Senator Obama who opposed the war and the Surge every step of the way?

HotAirPundit has more and video:

“This President does not have a d**n thing to do with Iraq’s success..
This is simply shameless. Remember Bush paid dearly at the ballot box in 2006 for perceived Iraq failure. Today not any mention of Bush who put his Presidency on the line for Victory in Iraq, when everyone was telling him to cut, run and surrender.”

So Says I Hate The Media:

“One would hope this story would sound a very loud alarm in Hollywood: More than 100 prisoners in Iraq face execution after reportedly being convicted of the crime of “being gay.”

“According to Ali Hili of Iraqi-LGBT, Iraq will begin executing them in groups of 20 starting this week. The London-based group believes 128 executions are imminent. They’re asking the UK Government, human rights groups and the UN Human Rights Commission to step in and stop “this tragic miscarriage of justice.”

Hollywood can’t step in to help because Hollywood is too busy with other things:

“Iranian officials have said a Hollywood delegation should say sorry for films viewed as “insulting” to their country.”

“President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s cultural advisor said Iranian film-makers should refuse to meet the group, which includes actress Annette Bening.”

Hollywood is trying to make friends with an enemy to freedom.

Hollywood should shut up until it understands the issues.

Americans should speak up for gay people in Iraq.

In his speech, when mentioning the sacrifice made by American Soldiers, Obama said:

“For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.”

No mention of those who fought and died in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Low. Really low.

I’m not the only one who noticed.

Change……your mind!

Many people knew Obama would not end the war in Iraq. Few people knew he would morph completely into George W. Bush before he was even sworn in.

Funny. I’m sure I heard Obama mention something about ending the Iraq War during the campaign.

Yet, Joe “the Gaffemaster” Biden is over in Baghdad right now reassuring the Iraqis that he and mighty O aren’t really going to change a God damn thing.

“So, that’s that. The Obama team is officially on-board with the Bush Iraq plan. That means American troops in Iraq for at least three more years. This comes as no surprise to anyone who’s been watching the progress in Iraq closely. But the unqualified reversal from anti-war ticket to pro-war administration is still something to marvel at.”

Here you go Obots. Here’s the change you can believe in.

Obama is naming Leon Panetta to head the CIA? Really?

“Mr. Panetta has a reputation in Washington as a competent manager with strong background in budget issues, but has little hands-on intelligence experience.”

Oh, he has a strong background on budget issues?

Great! I feel so much better!

Shhh!!! Don’t tell the Hope & Change crowd about this!

“Panetta did not advocate a precipitous U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Instead, he said that 75,000 to 80,000 American troops should remain in Iraq for a long period of time.”

A long period of time? Who does he think he is, John McCain?

Iraqi journalist Muntathar al-Zaidi, the man who threw his shoes at George W. Bush is now backtracking on his original position and wants a pardon.

The Republican-hating American press has been pushing the idea that al-Zaidi is some sort of “folk hero.”

We know where Obama supporters stand on this issue – they LOVE that this guy threw his shoes at Bush. Hollywood loves it too. They forget that even though they hate Bush, that he is the President of the United States and that their man “O” will be assuming the same office in a few weeks.

One can only ponder the media shit-storm that would take place if a journalist from anywhere had thrown his shoes at The One.

I don’t think that al-Zaidi should be pardoned. I have a better idea. I think he should be handcuffed to the same podium George Bush was standing at during the attack. Then I think the boots of every American soldier killed in Iraq should be distributed to their widows, parents and children. Each of them should get to line up and hurl those steel toed boots at al-Zaidi’s head. I’m sure he’s familiar with the practice of stoning. Maybe he’ll be able to dodge many of the boots, maybe not, personally I couldn’t care less.

I know it’s a modest proposal. Maybe I can suggest it if I’m ever on Olbermann or Hardball.
