Obama was one of the Democrat politicians who publicly decried the Iraq surge, said it was doomed to failure, called it another Bush mistake and that he would immediately pull our troops out if elected president. Now that the surge has been successful and we are seeing an orderly takeover by the new Iraq government and a scheduled withdrawal, he of the forked tongue is speaking glowingly about our success and, incredibly, actually taking credit for it. The man has not a scintilla of integrity; he is a pure Chicago Democrat lawyer/politician, who would tell any lie or bend any principle to ingratiate himself to others. On his recent pilgrimage to the Mideast, he enthusiastically curried favor with Muslims - who already have a misunderstood view of America - by criticizing his own country. He has no compunction about dishonestly equating America's negatives with those of other nations. He equated our support for Israel with Israel's handling of the Palestinian issue with the Holocaust - an immoral and erroneous comparison.
