Hillary Takes Credit For Surge She Opposed
Posted on January 13, 2008
Judith Apter Kliinghoffer at the History News Network posted this amazing attempt by Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press to take credit for the success in Iraq even though she opposed the Bush Surge that brought about this success:
MR. RUSSERT: If General Petraeus says, “Senator, in September you called the surge the suspension of belief. It has worked, and you know it’s worked”–let me finish–”you can see on the ground. I’m saying to you, Senator, or president-elect Clinton, don’t destroy Iraq. It’s working, the surge is working. Keep troops there just a few more months to get this reconciliation complete.”
SEN. CLINTON: …The point of the surge was to quickly move the Iraqi government and Iraqi people. That is only now beginning to happen, and I believe in large measure because the Iraqi government, they watch us, they listen to us. I know very well that they follow everything that I say. And my commitment to begin withdrawing our troops in January of 2009 is a big factor, as it is with Senator Obama, Senator Edwards, those of us on the Democratic side. It is a big factor in pushing the Iraqi government to finally do what they should have been doing all along.
Amazing!She voted to surrender Iraq with the rest of the Democrats– a move that would have brought total destruction to the country.
Now, she wants to take credit for its success!
Truly, amazing!
Amazing indeed. Surprising, no.

The iraqi government is hanging on every word of a first term senator from new york?
Yeah…RIIIIGHTT….get that bee otch some charmin headgear to go along with her tinfoil hat…..
if, and that’s a big friggin IF the iraqi government is paying attention to the hildebeast it is because they know she is an evil corrupt succubus and she would sell them out to shite jihadists from iran for a promise of one single vote, and they fear her just as much as all the thinking people in the U.S. fear her.
Wild.
This woman is a psycho
First Algore invented the internet, now hildabeast wants to take create for the surge? what are they smoking.
I REALLY like the part about how the Iraqi gov’t is hanging on to her every word. This just proves that she truely is a narcissist and delusional.
lol, like she has military service the real issue is that she is un informed re IRAQ …the new efforts and focus on surge and money will not work . sunni or latter

General Petraeus vs Hillary (Bill) Clinton “one” has to be a liar… Which one?
A.) A True American Hero
B.) someone who lies even while under oath
Someone please throw a bucket of water on this witch.

Lemme see, BERT! Czarina is a budding Leninist and the US military stands in the way of George Soros’s dream of worldwide “unified” socialism.
Tough choice.
I think I will go with General Petraeus, if that isn’t considered hate speech or something equally inane.
Even if it “IS” considered hate speech, screw Czarina!
NO! Wait…scratch that.
How on Earth is it that no one hold her feet to the fire on this?
Good grief.
The media, the LAME Stream Media drives the polls and drives the elections. Wake up.
The media wants Hillary as the next President.
I am betting that Hillary takes the nomination.
No war can ever be fought wearing a pantsuit.
PMS is not a legitimate standing foreign policy
Stale estrogen is a very faulty substance to glue together a personality composed mostly of threadbare feminist slogans and rancid ordure.
Hillary’s calls for a retreat are what’s winning this unwinnable war. Makes perfect sense to me.
Just think: if Bush had surrendered to Iraq a couple of years ago, we’d all be celebrating our victory right now.
It’s called a STRATEGY, people.
Hillary has no strategy other than to take us down the primrose path of Leninism.
YOU FILTHY BUM!!! YOU WITCH!!! YOU PIECE OF CRAP!!! YOU RAT!! NOW YOUR TRYING TO SAY THAT “YOU” ARE THE REASON THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING AND VIOLENCE IS DOWN IN IRAQ????? YOU……….YOU…….I’M SUPER PISSED NOW. AND NOBODY CALLS HER ON IT. NOBODY IN THE MEDIA HAS THE GUTS TO CALL HER AN EVIL LIAR!!! HILLARY YOU GONNA PAY FOR ALL YOUR LIES. I HOPE YOU PAY AND PAY GOOD
Calm down KDUB
Hey why didn’t I think of that before? It wasn’t the military that broke the back of the insurgency, it was the Democrats. So now, all I have to do is go up to the next Al-Quaida terrorist here in Baghdad and tell them Hillary said that you don’t have much time before the Democrats take over, and America withdraws. Then he’ll stop fighting us! Damn, why did she have to wait until my fourth tour to figure all this out.
No wonder she is so despised by those of us in the military.
Chief…ALL we have to do is sit down and talk to the terrorists. After all, they are such sweet people.
