Midknight Review -- new and revised: Biden video on Iraq

76 share

Tuesday of this week (June 10, 2014), the ISIL stormed into Mogul and took that city from Iraqi control. The next day, Wednesday, the terror organization took Takrit and stood 100 miles from the Iraqi capitol of Baghdad. Thursday, the ISIL raided one of

Iraq

's largest banks and took possession of $400,000 dollars, making it the wealthiest terror organization in the Middle East.

What most do not know, unless they read this same time blog, is that the ISIL was completely defeated and driven from

Iraq

, back in 2005/2006. They owned no property, had no money, was leaderless, and had no influence whatsoever in the terrorist community.

In fact, the whole of Iraq was so much under control by the end of the Bush term, that Biden, 12 months after being sworn in a VP, went on record touting the Iraqi victory, but attributing it to Obama., despite the fact that wartime operations ended in 2008.

Video text: “I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re gonna see 90,000 American troops come marchin’ home by the end of the summer. You’re gonna see a stable government in Iraq that is actually movin’ toward a representative government. I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months, three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society. It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed, how they have been deciding to use the political process, rather than guns, to settle their differences.”

Keep in mind, the Commander of military forces does not announce the withdrawal of 90,000 troops, unless he sees the particular war effort as a victory and their presence no longer necessary. In claiming the Bush victory for Obama, Biden unwittingly admitted the Bush victory in Iraq.

"ISIL" translates to Islamic State of Iraq [and the] Levant. The title of this rejuvenated terror organization, frames Iraq as its base country and the larger region (see the Levant map) as its initial territory. And ALL of its successes have occurred in the last two months of 2014. five full years after Obama took office, claimed the Iraqi victory, and deserted that country. Note: Apparently the media is going to refer to this group as "ISIS," or the Islamic State of Iraq [and] Syria.

The entire Middle East region, including Israel, is in serious danger because of this group of murdering Muslim. They are the most vicious of all groups, beheading hundreds in the past two months. Jordan and Iraq have both asked Obama for military support, but, of course, Obama refuses to help, taking the cowards way out, putting in danger what is left of our allies in the region, all to satisfy the peacenik base, in his own party.

Update: Understand that Biden's failure-on-purpose to negotiate a "Status of Forces" treatise, which would have left up to 25,000 troops in Iraq, is the single most important key the present day crisis. Had we committed to such a treatise effort, Iranian rebels would not have passed through Iraq into Syria, nor would the invading forces of the ISIS, moved from NW Syria into Iraq. The Obama Administration simply did not want this treatise. As a result, Obama got to brag about getting ALL troops out of that country while claiming the Bush Iraqi victory as his own. We are seeing the results of this particular word game.

This promises to be another nail in the Progressives' coffin. I have said and written, for years, that the worst thing to happen for Obama, would be the Middle East blowing up in his face. Well, you are looking at the beginning of that eventuality.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Back when the Administration thought Iraq was secure, they decided to steal the glory from Bush and claim it for themselves. Here is Biden doing just than (Feb 2010 - 50 secs of lying nonsense).

ISIL: Under Bush, this terror group was totally defeated. Today, six years into Obama, it is the wealthiest and most deadly of all al Qaeda groups and threatens to completely take over Iraq.
