Ok, not really, but thats the headline youll see. Today Obama gave yet another speech, during we he blamed others for all the bad, and claimed credit for all the good happening in Iraq.

Now, one of those chapters is nearing an end. As a candidate for President, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end. Shortly after taking office, I announced our new strategy for Iraq and for a transition to full Iraqi responsibility. And I made it clear that by August 31, 2010 America’s combat mission in Iraq would end. And that is exactly what we are doing—as promised, on schedule.

Already, we have closed or turned over to Iraq hundreds of bases.

We’re moving out millions of pieces of equipment in one of the largest logistics operations that we’ve seen in decades. By the end of this month, we’ll have brought more than 90,000 of our troops home from Iraq since I took office—more than 90,000. He goes on to say how well keep 50,000 transitional forces there to do nothing more than train and see the sights. Yes this is what theyve been doing for years, and it still resembles an Army. 50,000 troops in Iraq, thousands more offshore and next door. SO, its not really an honest evaluation of whats going on. And of course, hes simply executing Bush's last orders. He didnt actually make any decisions himself, though hell certainly act like it was all his doing. Hell will freeze over the day that Obama ever gives Bush any credit or respect for the decision he made which turned Iraq into what it is today, something far better than 10 or 20 years ago.
