"Silent Majority"

Surber is as Surber does. Simple, declarative sentences & all:

Cheney is right

President Bush did not leave Barack Obama with two wars.

He left him with one.

The one that Candidate Obama said was “the real war.”

In Iraq, American troops liberated 25 million people and decimated al-Qaeda. George Walker Bush spent all his political capital on that war — and now, the mission truly is accomplished.

And now Joe Biden — the weasel who wanted to divide Iraq in three — and Obama want credit for that?

Vice President Dick Cheney will have none of that.

Cheney told ABC News: “If [the administration is] going to take credit for [Iraq's success], fair enough… but it ought to come with a healthy dose of ‘Thank you, George Bush’ up front and a recognition that some of their early recommendations with respect to prosecuting that war were just dead wrong.”

And Cheney nailed our current president and our current vice president: “Obama and Biden campaigned from one end of the country to the other for two years criticizing our Iraq policy. If they had had their way, if we’d followed the policies they’d pursued from the outset or advocated from the outset, Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Baghdad today.”

The elites can laugh, but the Silent Majority that had regrets about the war two years ago slowly is beginning to realize that the war did protect America and American interests.

Not worth the effort to debunk this. We suppose the last sentence has a grain of truth in it, if you limit "American interests" to the funeral industry & the military-industrial-retracted penis complex.

From "Liberated" Iraq:

TIKRIT, Iraq — The Iraqi Army’s Fourth Division cordoned off the provincial council building here overnight on Tuesday and showed no sign on Wednesday of leaving. It was the latest in a series of actions by the government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki that have infuriated his political opponents, while raising doubts about the strength of the country’s laws and democratic institutions.
