THE ISSUE: VP Joe Biden’s claim that the Obama administration deserves credit for Iraq progress.

***

The Democrats wanted President George W. Bush to fail in Iraq so badly they did everything short of selling terrorist war bonds (“Biden: Cheney ‘Misinforming’ on Terror,” Feb. 14).

I guess their new slogan will be: “We vote for the war before we vote against the war. But, if we win the war, then it’s our war.”

Vice President Joe Biden’s comment is an outstanding example of hypocrisy, even for him.

Biden, deemed by many to be “crazy uncle Joe,” has made a reality-bending claim that the success in Iraq can be credited to President Obama.

This wild claim attempts to diminish the efforts of Bush, Gen. Petraeus and the success of our soldiers in Iraq.

Does Biden not realize that, with a click of a mouse, Americans can hear what he, Obama and the Democrats were saying while the surge was being planned and executed?

Can anyone forget Hillary Clinton’s cold stare at Petraeus as she publicly demeaned his honesty and integrity?

The Obama administration has no hesitation in blaming the previous administration for its own failures and, in the same immature mindset, cannot acknowledge anything positive about the Bush administration.

The more Biden speaks, the more it becomes apparent that his true job is not vice president but impeachment insurance.
