Four Alleged Traitors Now Claim Credit for Victorious Iraq Surge

They were against the surge before they were for the surge. The four alleged traitors who are currently running our country into the ground were initially against the surge in Iraq. They lambasted and denigrated the Iraq war, our warfighters, and the surge that was implemented by President George W. Bush and General David Petraeus during 2007 and the first half of 2008. Senator Harry Reid even said that “This war is lost.” Then, in January 2009, the four alleged traitors took power and control over our country. Now, they claim credit for the success of the surge in Iraq! These four represent an appalling bunch of alleged traitors who always put politics before the safety and security of our country and our warfighters.

House Republican Leader John Boehner released an important video today (8/27/10). The video, entitled “Victory is the Only Option,” underscores the success of the surge strategy that was opposed by then-Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid and other Democrats when it was announced by General David Petraeus and President George W. Bush. While the Obama Administration today is seeking to take credit for “ending the combat mission” in Iraq, the video credits our troops and their families, whose hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication have helped transform Iraq from a once volatile threat to a nascent democracy and a key ally of the United States.
