Pres Clinton was right: barry's Iraq was a fairy tale

February 24, 2009

"Words don't matter"

True.

The nation is finally getting a chance to see that barry's words mean absolutely nothing and that they never have. His road to and out of Iowa was based solely on Iraq. He stumped on his "superior judgment" in speaking out on Iraq and then never acting on his words. Folks didn't even bother to check...until now. He was polled over and over that people voted for him because "he voted against the war". Pundits throughout the primary - and even after - even now - said he "won" because he opposed the war.

Michelle Bernard said Hillary Clinton might well have won if she didn't vote for the war.

Carlos Watson said Clinton's comeback might have been complete if it wasn't for Mr Bill's comments.

Now the fairy tale that got him to and out of Iowa and into the general - he has completely lied about. How many time has his stance on Iraq changed? How many times did he swear he would have all combat troops home from Iraq in 16 months? When he announced his intention to run he said he would have them all home by March 2008 - before the primaries were over.

Are anyone other than historians ever going to actually look at his words?

Will anyone ever hold him accountable for and to them?

Both he and Clinton got 18 million votes. Exactly how many were cast for barry solely because of his Iraq fairy tale and bogus promise to get the troops home? That lie alone was the only thing separating him from Hillary Clinton. And all along she massively outpolled him in regards to handing the economy and Commander in Chief.

You don't think the election was a cult of personality - let alone a splendid example of misogyny and sexism?

The dead chimp cartoon is an outrage and yet asking on TV how much Hillary Clinton's cunt is worth gets nothing.

barry's cabinet picks have already disproven his "superior judgment" myth. His inclusion of lobbyists has shown he lied about that, too. He was all along anyway - Axelrod is a lobbyist. Yes, folks, go check it out. Like Gibbs said about Daschle - "he's not a lobbyist because he's not registered as one." Illinois rules are such that Axelrod could get around having to register - by now you have to know how things operate in Illinois.

As far as foreign policy, Clinton visited 43% of the countries in the world and all she did was sip tea with Ambassadors and now all of a suddenly Secretary of State. His first decision as the nominee was Biden and it's clear how that went.

Admit it, folks - you voted for someone you didn't know (and still don't know), someone with no qualifications and someone who is a complete and utter fraud.

Fine.

Just admit to it.

barry's Iraq 25.0

He had the choice to do what he said and said and said and said he would do - but he didn't take it. Instead he took the middle choice. Surprise.

• At present there about 14 brigades = 142,000 troops
• All combat troops removed in 19 months (August 2010)
• 30 - 50,000 "non combat" troops left behind to advise and train Iraqi security forces and to protect US interests
• Also staying beyond the 19 months would be intelligence and surveillance specialists and their equipment, including unmanned aircraft
• Complete withdrawal of troops by December 2010

Change = Just what Bush agreed to.

Clearly words don't matter.

Other facts from CBS:

• Congress has approved more than $657 billion so far for the Iraq war.
• 148,050 defense contractor personnel working in Iraq as of December - 39,262 of them US citizens.
• More than 200 US military installations in Iraq and it can take up to two months to shut down small outposts that hold up to 300 troops.
• Larger entrenched facilities, like Balad Air Base, could take up to 18 months to close
• At least 4,250 members of the US military have died in Iraq.
• More than 31,000 injured.
• 35,841 have received medical air transport due to non-hostile incidents.

What does this mean?

How much is due to mental illness?
