With President Bush's announcement of further troop withdrawals from Iraq, the instantaneous response from Obama and his Democrat allies is that Bush is not withdrawing fast enough. Too little, too late is their new mantra.
I find their response predictable but still amazing. The surge worked, the war is going very successfully, victory is at hand. These troops will be coming home victorious and the American people know it. A sensible candidate would applaud this success and congratulate the troops for a job well done. I guess since Obama based his candidacy on audaciously hoping for a US defeat, he cannot now be seen to admit he was wrong. Maybe he should just adopt a new campaign slogan. How about "Defeat you can believe in" or "Country last".

Biden outrageously claimed on MTP that the withdrawal schedule urged by Obama all along is now being followed by the Administration and the Iraqi Government. That statement is a microcosm of the desperation and dishonesty within the Obama camp. Of course, but for the Surge which Obama opposed and said would lead to MORE violence, nobody other than Obama could be seriously contemplating any withdrawal timetable. (Of course, Bush has not supported an unconditional schedule in any event). Most offensive is that Obama announced 12 or 15 months ago what the withdrawal schedule should be commencing in 2009 with no regard or need to know what the situation on the ground will be at that time.
