Will President Obama give 'credit' to President Bush tonight for 'winning' the Iraq War?

[onehandle]

Fox News is demanding that he bow to their wishes and credit Bush.

Will he give Bush any credit?

[IndianaGreen]

1. Bush and Cheney should be defendants at The Hague

The invasion of Iraq was a war of aggression and a crime against humanity.

A Socialist government would have put Bush & Co behind bars, right alongside the bankers and financiers responsible for the Great Recession.

[prolesunited]

2. Yes, he should CREDIT him with lying us into war,

the thousands of troops killed and injured, and the BILLIONS of dollars wasted on the invasion.

[monmouth]

3. When Pres. Obama was speakin w/Bush via phone, I'd bet Bush asked

him not to mention his name...LOL.

[Lucky Luciano]

4. Sorry, what exactly did we win?

My life and security have not improved as a result of this.

[Skittles]

5. another "mission accomplished" dog and pony show?

pass

[jenmito]

7. There will be NO "'mission accomplished' dog and pony show." That's a fact. n/t

[Skittles]

9. too late

[jenmito]

10. OBAMA hasn't said/done anything to that effect. n/t

[Skittles]

11. he is claiming an end to combat operations in Iraq

but it is not true

[jenmito]

12. That is NOT "mission accomplished." And he has also said even though combat operations are

officially over in Iraq, there will still be much more hardships to go through, there will most likely be more deaths of our troops, etc. He has specifically said this will NOT be a "mission accomplished" moment.

[Skittles]

13. whatever

why even bother giving a speech? :thumbsdown:

[jenmito]

14. Great response. If you're watching his address right now, he said almost exactly

what I SAID he'd say. Violence will continue...
:thumbsdown: to your "comprehensive" and "intelligent" response.

[Skittles]

15. LOL

So, the WAR CONTINUES

REALLY listen to him

"nobody can question Bush's love of our troops"

Can you say DOG AND PONY SHOW? I knew you could. :rofl:

[IndianaGreen]

18. Obama: 'nobody can question Bush's love of our troops'

Bush loved them so much that he got over 4,000 of them killed in Iraq.

[jenmito]

19. Saying that Bush loves our troops is a far cry from saying either "missioned accomplished"

or putting on a "dog and pony show" or giving him credit for the surge (which the Repubs. wanted to hear). You left out the part where he said that he disagreed with Bush in going to Iraq in the first place. Nice try, though. :rofl:

[msongs]

6. W should thank Obama for continuing so much of the Bush agenda lol nt

[AtomicKitten]

8. I just heard a clip of Boner on 960Green here in SF.

Boner said Pres Obama should not get a political victory out of leaving Iraq and that he was just keeping a campaign promise and not being mindful of events on the ground.

High-larious sniveling from The Orange One.

[jeanpalmer]

16. Rachel called it

Yes he did.

Thank god for Rachel.

[IndianaGreen]

17. Yep, Obama paid Bush a compliment

instead of calling him on the lies he told to get us into Iraq war.

[jenmito]

20. Obama credited Bush for winning the war in Iraq? Because the OP didn't say Obama wouldn't

say anything nice about him (while also saying he disagreed with Bush for going into Iraq in the first place). He did NOT credit Bush for winning the war. And Rachel didn't say he DID. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[onehandle]

21. The answer, apparently, was Yes. nt
