Just a reminder on how Obama feathers his nest on both sides, Obama now claims credit for the success of Iraq after having declared the war lost two years prior.
First he says that a sovereign, stable, self-reliant Iraq is impossible and then states that we have made important progress in supporting a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq.
It can't be won:
Interesting that he believes that the Sunni and Shi'a will do after we leave what they never did before we ever got there.
We won:
Now THAT'S a hypocrite.

OBAMA FEBRUARY 10, 2007: It's time to admit that no amount of American lives will resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war.
(Wild applause)
That's why I have a plan that will bring our combat troops home March of 2008. Let the Iraqis know, letting the Iraqis know that we will not be there forever is our last best hope to pressure the Sunni and Shi'a to come to the table and find peace.

OBAMA, JUNE 30, 2009: Those who have tried to pull Iraq into the abyss of disunion and civil war are on the wrong side of history. Finally, the very fact that Iraqis are celebrating this day is a testament to the courage, the capability, and commitment of every single American who has served in Iraq.
That's worth applauding. (applause) Through tour after tour of duty our troops have overcome every obstacle to extend this precious opportunity to the Iraqi people. We've made important progress in supporting a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq; and everyone who served there, both in uniform as well as our civilians, uh, deserves our thanks.
Now THAT'S a hypocrite.
