Gibbs Explains How Iraq Is... Obama's Achievement

[chubbypekingnese]

Im pretty sure if Operation Odessy Dawn goes in the shitter. Pres Obama will manage to blame Bush. And if he isnt President for a second term and the conflict is still in the shitter the media will blame the current Republican President.

[bassmanb3]

Excuse Me while I roll My pant legs up. My shoes and socks are already covered

[GaunletofDestruction]

Obama's acheivement? Hahahahahahahahah, yeah right.

[dontbearetard]

What the jolly fuck is this dude talkin' about?!

Make some sense if you're going to talk on TV.

[DemocraticFreedom]

We as Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize - socialist (also know as progressives) who think that Western civilization began in 1969. Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this "socialist movement." However, for the "socialist" within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialist have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

[DemocraticFreedom]

Without doubt a large majority of our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

[avidbuff]

Gibbs is an awesome stage magician. He can turn absolute opposition to and undermining of victory in Iraq into a claim for it's success. I stand in awe.

Now excuse me while I barf.

[makeinstall]

Lets see, Obama Opposed additional funding in hopes that Bush would call the war off (STUPID) opposed the Surge, and never supported the troops once until he was campaigning.

Biden called the surge a failure and flip flopped as bad as Obama on Iraq.

And now Gibb's has the balls to make a remark about taking credit. The level of Arrogance is just surreal.

[ibrake4rappers]

he was campaigning to get them out by 09

[jimadoo]

Jesus what an asshole!!!!! I can't wait for these moron motherfu**ers to be gone!!! tell me please Why do we have to wait till 2012? seems like an awfull waste of time to me. The USA is going down the drain and these dipshits want to be praised for something they have been fighting against since the beginning. You watch odumbos poll will drop to the 30s within a month.

[ZexMerquise]

@jimadoo

WOW! You were so right. Obama's ratings continue to drop.

Country not happy. He was suppose to unify the country, instead he has made it more diverse. In a bad way. Reminds me of Darth Vader in Star Wars.

[jayrod59]

You're funny Gibbs and full of ..it.

[ghostplayr77]

everytime these people open there mouth there lieing like a mall mart rugg, he hasnt done cht except eat @party , all the world leader's have said wtf russia putin looked at him like he was a frkn nut . sad

[Bellita1]

Wow, NObama is taking credit for something he had noting to do with. What a shock. NObama is a FUCKING LIAR.

[MrSampy22]

I hope Obama keeps this guy around. As long as he is up in front of the camera keeping the administration look this bad we can all have real hope for a change away from these idiots starting with 2010 mid-terms right on through the 2012 election. That is assuming they don't completely screw things up before that point. That a pretty big assumtion.

[usaray]

There is absolutely NO credibility in this administration at all. This guy is a freakin' joke along with all who voted his boss into office. Take your change and shove it up your @ss.

[LibsMakeGr8Sandbags]

6 months, then18, then 24. What is his new promise now?

[DaytonaRoadster]

He might as well take credit for it, It not like former President Shit for Brains Bush took credit for all his fuckups. Doesnt mean i like the nigger though

[TmanWdaPlan]

Good point Gibbs. I would like to take this moment to thank and congradulate Obama for ending the cold war as well.

[RackedRabbi]

Put what was broke back together? WTF!!

Gibbs, Obama, and Biden REALLY take the cake on this one!

They had NOTHING to do with the surge's success.

[captquest1]

This is the biggest pile of steaming hot crap yet!

This whole administration is a disgrace!

The "surge" is what regained control in Iraq, which Obummer was against, now he has the cojones to take credit for! DISGUTED!

[09090985]

write it on your hand again cause your notes are off

[decisionview]

LOL! What a joke!

[papavalium]

Just shows you how delusional this guy is. They were supposed to pull out of Iraq on Day 1.

[natashiapelouski]

Gibbs should smoke the angel dust after the press conference. It could help.

[ladylordess]

I think there should be a law against Kool-Aid drunks working in the White House. This guy is on one big Delusional bender. He needs AA for Kool-Aid drinkers.

Thanks for the stand-up comedy Gibbs, now try and do your job!!

[natashiapelouski]

Kinda fun watching gibbs squirm and skate around questions.

What a baffoon. I looked in the picture dictionairy under the word dooshbag and guess who I saw. I'm not kiddin here.

[makeinstall]

Iraq is Obama's achievement. I don't fucking think so.

The troops did all the fucking work another fuck up by the Obama party as bad as Ted Kennedys seat bull shit.

Ok Gibb's, historians will debate it, but you will claim credit..

What a bunch of fuck heads.

And Biden helped in the election process even though elections were taking place before he was VP.

Libs, if you fall for this you have got to be the dumbest mother fuckers ever.

[PatricksTime]

this administration is delusional!!!!!!!!!!

[battim]

how did obama the candidate bring about the surge? he was against it (in fact he said it didnt work). was the war mismanaged for some time? sure. obama has done nothing but keep bush's policy in place. the vice president said we should split it into three states. did you forget that, gibby?

[natashiapelouski]

THIS IS A LIST OF BAMA'S GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS

1. Organizer and legal representative for acorn. Just that alone makes me want to slip my wrist.

2. Giving terrorists a lawyer, 3 hots and a laptop on your tax dollar.

3. Sending America into bankruptcy thru massive pork entitlements and funds to his liberal voter base.

HELL, MAKES MY LEGS TINGLE.

[mjnr7777]

Gibbs can spin it anyway he wants.....this one is Bush's accomplishment!

[veriteez]

Gibbs- OBAMA HAS ACHIEVED NOTHING. WILL PEOPLE STOP GIVING THAT INEXPERIENCED BAFOON CREDIT FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN?????? This who administration is delusional!!!!!!!!! Biden helped the poiltical process so people could vote??? Remember the purple-fingers a couple years ago, Gibbs? That wasn't Biden, you IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tkcomputerservice]

War is an Achievement!

Show me a president that can get the job done without taking the country into an undeclared war, now that would be an achievement.

"Historians will debate" is slang for it's a huge shit sandwich and we're all going to have to take a bite.

Friggin' professional liars. They do all the talking, while others do all the killing and dieing.

The only thing more dangerous to our country than terrorist and central banks are professional politicians.

[natashiapelouski]

LIBERAL LOGIC read on

So basically mr gibbs the republicans and McCain who were for the surge which is the sole reason Iraq has any remote form of stability have achieved absolutely nothing.

HOWEVER

By being against the reason for stability and success in Iraq obama gets the achievement award.

No wonder your losing states left and right. duhh yaaa duh dee da dee dee

[LORKops]

The fascist liberals operating the puppet known currently as "Obama" are just as dangerous to the Constitution and Economy as was Jorge Bush. This same group of liberal frauds, dispatched the military overseas an amazing 44 times during Clinton's 8 years and were behind the "progressive", criminal atrocity known as the Kosovo Conflict, during which thousands of innocent Serbian civilians were murdered. America will NEVER be forgiven for her atrocities in the Balkans. Obama is a criminal fraud.

[VictoryCough]

Our troops home? We shifted them around to another western asian nation! And we are not done with Iraq! We could be out of there tomorrow! This is lipservice!

[Rocky32084]

These people just keep insulting our int-elegance, they think we are stupid, I guess we are we evidently elected a Marxist

[natashiapelouski]

He is so FULL OF DUNG NO WONDER HE SMIRKS..

Obama was against the surge, gibbs has no answer so he evades and spins with "we will long debate iraq".

WE ARE NOT DEBATING IRAQ GIBBS.

WE ARE DEBATING HOW IT IS OBAMA'S ACHIEVEMENT? OPEN YOUR EARS. STOP SMIRKING.

ANSWER THE QUESTION!.

[tommyde8]

tHESE FUCKERS ARE DELUSIONAL.

[natashiapelouski]

They surge is the reason for any sucess in Iraq.  The republicans and McCain were responsible for that. Incredible this spinless obama machine would have the gall and arrogance to take full credit for it.

They have taken arrogance and spin to another level far beyond human comprehension.

[natashiapelouski]

gibbs a despicable horrific example of a human being. He could spin a story and make hitler look like a saint.

Couple of incredible lies and some arrogant smirks and you almost start to wonder if you are on planet earth.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Sort of like Bagdad Bob. Funny to me is how he believes people are so stupid out here in main street America that we would believe him. He is like Obonehead to me, he has no credibility at all , about anything at all.

I think the WH press corps (pronounced corpse) is finally beginning to challenge him a little, or risk being painted with the same brush that we are painting HIM with. LIAR

I am waiting for the media to quit supporting these communists. Soon I hope.

[naggold]

I doubt it Bob.

[natashiapelouski]

whaaaa?? puleeeze obama's acheivement. this administration thinks people are idiots.

[Dozzerd]

There is no acheivement in Iraq, only a foolish adventure that will go down in history as one of our greatest political blunders.

Any way the FOX news tries to white wash it, if Sadam was still there we woudn't be talking about Iran and nukes today.

We could have taken care of Al quida in Afganistan and we would be 1 TRILLION dollars less in debt.

[natashiapelouski]

When something good happens it is cause of obama.

If Iraq was still in turmoil then obviously it would be Bush's fault.

IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. WHO GETS CREDIT AND WHO'S FAULT IS WHO'S? YOU LIBERALS ARE LIKE WHINING CHILDREN. GROW UP.

OBAMA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Gibbs is a very small man. Skating and spinning. Despicable example of a human being.

[Che0bama]

Yeah, HIS... great achievement? Since HE an Biden voted AGAINST that surge...

Something you'd expect a bitch to say.

[OBAMASTINIAN]

The troops won the war not nobomba.

[OBAMASTINIAN]

Obamas achievement,give me a break.

[DillonX]

Bush was so hated by most people in Iraq that it was difficult to wind things down in a reasonable way.

Now Iraq has kicked all Blackwater personel out of their country for good, something Cheney would've strongly opposed.

The shoe-thrower has had his sentence reduced & is about to come out as a national hero

Is Iraq now a settled country? -- No, but with Bush in power there was so much hatred it was difficult to get even close.

[2010GOP]

DillonX:

Why do you always post something as "fact" that you learned from the liberal media?

Take it from our military who were there. The majority will tell you the Iraqi people were thankful Bush took action. I'm sure you don't remember the celebrations when Saddam lost power.... or the Iraqi's who wept with gratitude to our soldiers

Somehow, in your warped mind, the Iraqi people hated Bush and would've preferred to live under Saddam's evil regime. Grow up

[illxplicit07]

Who's debating Iraq? I thought the neocons already apologized for the horrible mistake that has cost the country dearly in both blood and treasure. WTF is Gibbs talking about?

[dsmith6289]

I was ummm errrrr ahhhhhh against the war before I ummm errrrr ahhhhhh for the war! LOL. This is fun watching the Progressives revising history before our very eyes. The masses are starting to figure out that hope and change actually meant dope and chains! Teleprompter Bob is trying to do the impossible of making his boss look like he is competent. Boy Oh boy, I can hardly wait for them to fix all of our problems by throwing more money at the problem.

[ibrake4rappers]

uhh...umm...hmm...

[AllendeAllende]

Hundreds of thousands of dead people, millions displaced, and the country destroyed - what a great achievement!

Saddam was a bastard, but his removal certainly wasn't worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. The majority of Iraqi's strongly opposed the war, so arguments for liberation are meaningless.

The war hasn't been bad for everybody though. Multinational corporations are making a killing.

[swtjonesy]

fck you gibbs. the cred goes to OIF Vets. Hooyah, Hooah, and Ooo-rah.

[melyacy]

I personally think Gibbs is an okay guy. But Obama needs a new PS!

I would REALLY like to see Rahm Emanual and Tim Geithner fired before Gibbs!

[kinga750]

Wow it's like he got lost in his own bullshit for a minute there.

[elijahablaze]

gibbs is an inbreed, white trash monkey boy

[nomosocialists]

These Leftists have NO SHAME! They will blame Bush for anything bad that happens and try to take credit for something positive they had NOTHING to do with and openly tried to screw up!

[bigdogsdontbark]

We wont long debate Iraq! When it was a made up war, it was Bush's Fault. But now that its a success it is Obamas acheivement? I guess if you dont have anything except failures, you have to steal a few acheivements.

[Calbeck]

"Uh, uh...ah, uh...ah..."

Dodges the question, says nothing relative other than that Obama "brought pressure" for an agreement on a pullout WHEN HE WAS STILL A CANDIDATE.

What a load of horseshit.

[barneygrumble]

people say 'uh'. Look at any speech. i bet you say 'uh' a least 50 times a day. don't believe me? i bet you will think about how you talk tomorrow.

btw. i care not about any party. beer partys yes. political partys not so much. uh.

[SensibleFella]

No class, incapable, and a real kiss ass. This political hack is an extension of the Failure in Chief, Obama, and his socialist policies. As he becomes the lame duck he is destined to be, he and his administration will grasp onto anything that even remotely appears to be successful...if even taking credit for something they've never done or accomplished.  Americans, while ignorant for having voted him in, will soon take it all back. Congress out this year, Hussein out in 2012.

[gone556]

Don't take if you didnt do anything. It makes you look like an idiot.

[eightbitgnosis]

jibberish

[bryanx0102]

M O R O N

[micsc50]

YOU FOOL! Obama tried to break it. He voted against the surge. If Obama had his way we would have lost that war

[czubspenx]

You are the fool. The war is not over by any means and the surge was only a tatic at a given point in time. History will deem this invasion of Iraq the same as Vietnam, that being a total was of humanity and money. By the way, who ever told you the war was over? Do you just dream this crap up or ???

[micsc50]

Gibbs thinks its over and we won because of Obama 's command. YOU FOOL!

[czubspenx]

World War II was over in 1945 and we still have troops in Japan and Germany? Does that make sense to anyone on this planet? If all combat troops are taken out of Iraq, Obama plans to leave 50,000 there. That being the case, I would say the war is not over and won't be for, what 20-30 years. It is the intention of the US to occupy this country and many others in the Mid East. Do you really wonder why those people hate us?

[micsc50]

Once we give them money they love us. People in these middle eastern countries are mostly poor.They have to jack off the dog to feed the cat. They want money for love. They hate us because we have so much like houses , cars, computers, TVs, cell phones, nice clothes, movie stars send our kids to college. You think those poor rag heads have anything? You need to get educated you FOOL

[czubspenx]

Again, the reason they hate us has nothing to do with envy or jealousy. You better start reading the Koran instead of the Sunday comics. Envy and jealousy is a sin in Islam. What's not a sin is killing people for invading and occupying their country. You really don't have a fucking clue what you are rambling about. All you are doing is repeating something some retard fruebd told you down at the bar. Now, do yourself a big favor and get educated.

[dontbearetard]

They don't hate us because we're rich. They hate us because we've been bombing their country into the ground for 20 years. I'd be pissed off, too.

[micsc50]

So they can just go right ahead with giving safe haven to terrorist.RIGHT ON GENIUS! If they want us out they can get rid of the reason we are there. Its as simple as the pea brain in you noggin Retard!

[dontbearetard]

Yeah! As soon as you stop being angry at us for killing your family, we'll stop trying to kill you! Awesome idea!

But I agree that nothing has changed under the Obabush administration.

[micsc50]

My family is alive and well living in Obama's new no CHANGE America. Thanks Retard

[dontbearetard]

*facepalm*

I'm talking about Muslim families being bombed to death in the Middle East. Not yours.

Imagine if they were doing this to us. Imagine if they were the superpower imposing their will on our country for our oil. Damn right we'd be pissed, and nothing would calm our outrage short of victory.

[micsc50]

With their friend Obama running this country that day may be just aroung the corner.

[micsc50]

Joe Biden is saying our troops will be home by the end of summer because of the presidents policies on Iraq have stabilized the country. He also said that Iraq can handle their own security now. In other words the war is over because of Obama. Now who is the FOOL you FOOL?

[czubspenx]

You have been drinking way too much Kool Aid put out there by the politicians. Okay, now think outside the box for just one minute. We still have troops in Japan and Germany and Korea and those wars have been over approximately 60 years on average. This is how Obama spins it..."We will have COMBAT TROOPS out of Iraq by such and such a date. What they don't tell you is they plan on keeping at least 50,000 troops there until hell freezes over or this country is totatlly bankrupt. Wait and see!

[micsc50]

You are 100% correct I agree with you completely. Obama is in charge now and guess what nothing has CHANGED.

[BruisedTaint]

This guy is an idiot. Mark my words, Gibbs will not last the rest of Obama's term.

[mrjonnewman]

If the recession is Obama's fault then Iraq is Obama's victory.

[bigdogsdontbark]

@mrjonnewman The recession isn't all Obamas fault. But his stimulus, which he said would create 3 million jobs and lost 4 million is Obamas failure.

[MueX]

Gibb's favorite toy as a child was obviously the mattel sit and spin.

[09090985]

write it on your hand because your history speech is twisted

[stonerbudkap]

These dickheads could say they invented the wheel and libs would believe them plus libs smell like Neanderthals.

[firejack007]

I just knew it. These weasels are gonna take credit for Iraq in the long run. No Al Queda before we were there? He doesn't understand what Al Queda in Iraq was. It was the Fedyaeen and left over Sadam Ba'athists.

[themunz126]

You go Baghdad Bob .. spin the facts baby!

This administration needs all the help it can get.

God knows they couldn't do it on their own.

[rainiertx]

Is there just no measure to how low these people will sink in their lies!!!

Our ignorant VP along with many of his fellow dems claimed "We have lost the war"! "We are terrorizing Iraqi citizens in the middle of the night similar to that of Genghis Khan"! All we heard from them was how evil our military is. All we heard is we need to just retreat and come home. NOW this "whore" for Obama comes out and says Obama is winning the war!! OMG! I can't wait to see what more will come from these thugs.

[czubspenx]

The war in Iraq is not different than the war in Vietnam. It is a total mistake...trillions spent, millions dead and a total waste. These wars were only to benefit Corporate America and special interests.

[MueX]

And the democrats all voted for it, as it would benefit the unions, trial lawyers and ACORN could register all the fedayeen to vote. Amirite?

[WeAreGeo]

Just when you thought the administration couldn't get more ridiculous...they go and try something like this.

Just how dumb do they think we are? (and yes, that's a rhetorical question)

[wudriddick]

Starting at 28sec "agreement to bring troops home was signed before the president took office."

Gibbs "something that I think the political pressure that the president as a then candidate helped to bring about."

Yea! As he did the The Sun,The Moon and The Stars.

[PurpleJacketJoker]

This made me sick to my stomach when I heard it. Blame Bush when things aren't going well.. like the economy but take away credit of the previous Administration such as "The Surge" which Dems did give them credit for and they themselves are using it in Afghanistan.

What a hypocritical bunch of evil liars there are in the Obama Administration..

Every time I see Gibbs now, I wanna puke. By the way people, I'm a Independent, not a Republican.

[mike1111qq]

au um ahahah we will long ah debate ah um iraq ah and um lets um ah ah ha change um the ah ah ah subject um.

[killergames187]

Gibbs is a paid lier jest like Obama!!Gibbs is a fat pussy that needs his ass kicked!

[MrHdmi003]

Gibbs- I mean really. You suck sooooo bad !!!

You looked embarrassed to be saying what you did. You were forced to cover for what Biden said on the Larry King show.

[hobo59]

Well lets give credit where credit is due. Oblahblah did manage to pick out a dog !

(Although even that took him like three months to do) lol

[bufnyguy]

This pathetic "administration" is nothing but an animated cartoon.

[gvkleys]

Shouldn't they say they inherited the success like everything else???

[idiotfinder911]

Actually, this is a very TRUE statement. What else has Obama and Dems done besides spit on us Soldiers, and even more so with Americans!

He hasnt done anything else. Has he?

[incognito9887]

Facepalm

[farringtonsnica]

How can you even say that????? What was broke we fixed??? Freakin A man are you bafoons gonna say that about every stinking thing!!!!

Iraq has been going "well" for some time. For the Obama administration to claim this as "their accomplishment" wreaks so horriblly of the same ol politics and politicing!

It is so baffling to even claim....that is why i think they are saying it. And of course baffling describes much of what comes out of Biden's Mouth.

[Betty5150]

Don't let them full you. Iraq is not better, nor has it been under either Administration.

All it is now is giving incentive to terrorists to recruit more. But nooooooooooooooooo, Obama is against the Bush Foreign Policy. I guess.

Obama is (surprise surprise) a politician. And his policies are of a politician. Meaning, he will do anything to get his votes. And yes (surprise surprise surprise) will lie to get them (it's a surprise I know.

[battim]

violnce is down in iraq quite a bit. defining success and failure will take decades.

[mcv47]

Considering everything with this administration has been an epic failure, I guess they have to try to claim success wherever they can even if they have nothing to do with it.

[Frankencougie]
