Robert Gibbs Tells White House Press Corps That Obama Saved Iraq (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, February 11, 2010, 5:25 PM
Shameless liars. Robert Gibbs today tried to take credit for the success in Iraq even though both Biden* and Obama voted against the successful surge that stabilized the country. That’s not all. Biden caused rioting and protests when he pushed legislation to divide Iraq into three countries. Barack Obama told supporters in 2007 that, “Preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.”
These people are absolutely shameless:
What is worse is that there is likely not a Republican in Congress who will stand up and correct this horrible lie. And, shame on them for remaining silent and sitting on their hands.
Hat Tip Tom R.
Yesterday Joe Biden took credit for Iraq.
* On January 16, 2007, Chuck Hagel, Delaware Democrat Joe Biden (Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair), and Michigan Democrat Carl Levin (Armed Services Committee chair) co-sponsored a non-binding resolution that says it is “not in the national interest of the United States to deepen its military involvement in Iraq.”

The American people know the truth…and they’re on to “Beltway Bob”, too.

What will long be debated is how such a level of sustained
buffoonery could be displayed with a straight face.

The perfect GOP / Retired military response –
“We do not always agree with this administration, but when they are right, they are right. Truly the current state of affairs in Iraq is a titanic victory for the Obama administration. And I would like to be the first to acknowledge that. I want to thank President Obama for his extraordinary courage in choosing to confront and defeat one of history’s most odious monsters. I want to thank President Obama for his outstanding dedication to launching and completing a difficult but worthy mission, for his willingness to order a surge in US effort that surely ranks with Guadalcanal and Inchon in the annals of US military history. I want to thank President Obama for staring down the naysayers and the international detractors, for never taking his eye off the ball, and for standing up for the troops, letting them know from moment one that he has had their back.
Above all, on behalf of thirty million Iraqis, I want to thank President Obama for liberating them from the yoke of horrendous tyranny, and opening a whole new and better chapter for a vast swath of the troubled Middle East.
And lastly, I want to thank President Obama for all he has done for Iraq over the past year especially, specifically and particularily for the…. um… things….. that, uh….. he has done in the past year….. which were…. um…. good things that, uh…. he has specifically done. The good things, I mean. Whatever they may have been.
Thank you, President Obama, for your years-long dedication to freedom, to liberty, to our troops, and to this mission – a great and good one. We could not have done it without you. The victory is yours, and you have earned it. May God Bless the troops, and the United States of America.”
Oh, how I would love someone to say it. I would just love it……
Valerie commented:
Who was the reporter? The reporter asked the right questions, and Gibbs gave a truly lame answer.
Valerie commented:
Bravo AndrewX!
jainphx commented:
Oh boy! Is there a better word than shameless? Who can possibly be this far south of the truth than this gang of shysters and crooks that is this administration? Makes it hard for sane people to eat their dinner after listening to this garbage.
maria commented:
Can’t believe that American’s accept such a stink… The Obama gang is a disgrace. But the majority voted for Obama and now everybody gets what he or she had asked for.
I hope you all learned your lesson!

sbourg commented:
Obama was not believable with anything he said while campaigning, but 53% DID believe what he said. Hopefully, now, literally 10s of thousands of lies later by him, Gibbs, Rahmbo, and his other cohorts, it’s becoming obvious to at least 10% of that 53%, and they MUST be sickened by it. That would leave O-man with about 43% support. Who knows what it would take to convince those, what a semi-socialist fraud he is. And what a danger to our country. He’s absolutely the OPPOSITE of what our country needs. Whatever he wants to do is, unfortunately the opposite of what we need.
jim commented:
This administration is powered by pure BS. Every day another barrage of lies. A steady stream of propaganda. Trouble is, every time the Blowhard steps up to the teleprompter, he demonstrates that he is the most unqualified person ever elected president.
I bet even those 6th graders realized they were dealing with a fraud.
Joanne commented:
What exactly did Obama put back together, and how is bringing U.S. troops home make Iraq a success? Iraq is a success because the U.S. troops can be brought home after all they’ve accomplished in Iraq for years, not year.
Gibbs is a joke.
Andrew X commented:
Joanne -
Gibbs ain’t the joke, he’s just the set-up.
Jo commented:
“Biden caused rioting and protests when he pushed legislation to divide Iraq into three countries.”
it is called meddling. Obama says he does not meddle, but he does. We know Bozo as a fraud, liar, anti-American with many anti-American supporters. It is difficult to bring him down when the anti-Christ, I mean the Anti-American has a zombie affect upon the masses. Robert Gibbs is one of those hypnotized zombies. Gibbs also looks high on crack cocaine.
Just waiting till Bozo gets booted from office. Can’t wait for that day — I wish it was right now.
James commented:
This is sickening. obama is the worst president in american history, which includes every member of his administration, which I call the freak show. God bless our military and God bless President George W. Bush, the greatest president in american history.
gus commented:
These people believe what they say.
These people actually thought Obama had the ability to run the United States.
That is the scariest part. They believe their own nonsense.

$4 billion in new budget for Acorn! I know that we have to turn out in numbers come Nov. they can’t cheat if they lose in a landslide. This is getting down right scary listening to lie after lie, and they know that we know but can’t stop. The lying liars are running this country into the ground!
Bill commented:
Keith Olbermann will defend how correct both Obama and Biden are in their SAVING Iraq. Jock sniffer that he is.
mike191 commented:
Delusional, pathogenic liars is the only character trait Obama and his cabal exhibit on a daily basis.
Tom commented:
The problem is if a republican did give a good response….you wouldn’t hear about it. And If it does they would say they are “lashing out” at the president.
Robb76 commented:
Latest poll numbers show Os approval rating at about 44%. Do we really believe that many of our citizens approve of him?
American commented:
When the smoke clears, the annals of history will remember George Bush’s perseverance and Barrack Obama’s treason.
chai commented:
You are right, Tom, and the left would also call that person “racist,” “homophobic,” “lying scum,” and “teabagger.” We’ve heard all that before….unbelievable. How can he stand there with a straight face? Maybe he wrote it on his palm….

Of course they wont.
They’re in office to represent lobbyists. Not the people

This just in from “Beltway Bob” (as Dell labeled him)…..
The Obama Administration will be honoring the 43rd President of the United States by naming the gap between the tectonic plates beneath Haiti after him.
The area will now officially be referred to as “Bush’s Fault”.

I was laughing about this in traffic today. Saw a car with a “44″ sticker on it referring, of course, to Obama’s presidency in ordinal terms. All I could think of was his bowling score.

Oh Boy.!!
Goobert Fibbs is at it again.
I wonder….. a few years from now when he’s managing a carwash in Detroit, will Goobert look back fondly at his years as Obama’s lacky?
Reaganite Republican commented:
The way Team Obama trashes George W Bush daily while taking credit for his accomplishments -the means of which they opposed- is beyond the pale.
There are no good and decent men or women in this administration… none
lyle commented:
The Democratic Party was the party of slavery. They advocated appeasement in the Civil War. They fought Lincoln and the GOP at every turn, who won despite them. After abolition and victory, democrats stole credit they didn’t deserve.
The Democratic Party was the party of Jim Crow. For a hundred years they blocked every attempt at reform. The KKK was their terror wing. When segregation was ended and the KKK ruined, democrats stole credit they didn’t deserve.
The Democratic Party was on the side of the enemy in the Cold War. They shielded American communists, supported Marxist movements, advocated appeasement, mocked Reagan’s strategy, and undermined every initiative that finally won the war. Then they stole credit they didn’t deserve.
It’s difficult to fight the righteous fight against the odds. It’s so much easier to do the shallow and dishonorable thing, and then steal credit afterwards.
In your children’s textbooks, Obama will be known as the Liberator of Iraq.

Same thing with the economy. If it revives despite the administration’s attempt to kill it they will still claim that it was their wise stewardship that saved it. Forgone future history, irrelevant of what actually happens.
Mark M commented:
Squealer:
A small white fat porker who serves as Napoleon’s right hand pig and minister of propaganda. Squealer manipulates the language to excuse, justify, and extol all of Napoleon’s actions. Squealer limits debate by complicating it and he confuses and disorients, making claims that the pigs need the extra luxury they are taking in order to function properly, for example. However, when questions persist, he usually uses the threat of the return of Mr Jones, the former owner of the farm, to justify the pigs’ privileges. Squealer uses statistics to convince the animals that life is getting better and better. Most of the animals have only dim memories of life before the revolution; therefore, they are convinced. In the end, he is the first pig to walk on his hind legs.

Conservative Gazette commented:
This administration is done. The next three years will be full of turmoil and pain for all. It will be the demise of the Democratic party. That’s the good part. The bad part is that it will take years of competent governing to regain course.
This president will go down in history as the most incompetent and corrupt ever.
Pat Patterson commented:
But I thought Obama promised he’d pull out. Juvenile humor at its best or worst.

Baghdad Bob Gibbs:
I am not a liar. Sure, 0bama was against the war in Iraq and the surge but now he as saved it. Not to change the subject, but I think we will long debate whether 0bama voted against the war or voted present. The our troops suck. We took our eye off the ball.
Now 0bama has fixed his gaze on the Corpse guys who were just making terrorists into dead bodies. We shaped them up and buried some of our bad policies like “Cash for Clunkers” and started rocketing cars in Pakistan. Do you see my point?
Let me spell it out for your tiny brains. The Troops sucked under Bush. We exploded some clunkers in Pakistan to keep your eyes off of our crappy “Cash for Clunkers” and now we have won the war. It’s that simple.
Let’s move on to a different subject. Get with the Teleprompter or stay out of politics. Next.
Finncrisp commented:
I am pleased that this president is willing to continue the successful policies of President Bush, but Mr. Reach across the aisle is incapable of allowing any credit, only blame to be directed towards President Bush. He talks about reaching out, but it’s “just words”. His lack of grace shows supreme disrespect for the office of the presidency.
Simon commented:
It’s probably already been mentioned, but thank God Joe Biden and Mr. Obama defeated that terrible tyrant George W. Bush, so his surge would have a chance to work of its own accord and according to the smart parameters of their — wait, if I keep up with this parody, they might grab it for a real quote.

Iraqi Leaders Opposed Biden’s Partition Plan
[Secular Sunni parliamentarian Mithal al-Alusi held a news conference in Baghdad to call on the Iraqi government to formally declare Mr. Biden "a persona non grata" in Iraq. As for Iraq's neighbors, The Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League both denounced the Biden resolution.]

This behavior is exactly what the Russians used to do in the Cold War. They would claim to have invented American inventions after stealing the designs and copying them. These people are communist/fascist traitors. I’d like to see them hanging at the gas station like Mussolini, his whore and their henchmen…
That’s the way to deal with arrogant power-mad traitors.
Scott Jerome commented:
This is just yet another example for the voters to be reminded that the Democrats must not ever be allowed anywhere near the halls of power again until they demonstrate that they have figured out which way is up.

“Can’t believe that American’s accept such a stink… The Obama gang is a disgrace. But the majority voted for Obama and now everybody gets what he or she had asked for.
“I hope you all learned your lesson”
Well, now, Maria, aren’t you smug. I’m not going to give you the numbers or the answers. Folks as smart as you are can find them for themselves. I’ll just get you headed in the right direction and you see what you can learn:
1) “Americans” (that would be plural without an apostrophe) do NOT accept this disgrace.
2) “The ‘majority’ voted for obama”? The majority….of what??
3) Do you know what percentage of the American electorate voted for obama?
4) Define eligible voters, locate and read and understand 2008 voting statistics, and familiarize yourself with 50 years of ACORN (these exercises might be of some help, I’m not sure)
5) “Everybody gets what he or she asked for”? Really?
Americans will kick butt in this situation. You might want to stand to the side a little to protect your own.
cp commented:
Biden, CNN and other obama mass medias, Gibs are people who don’t know how to feel ashamed even when what they are doing is shameful. But this time, by making such obvious false claims, how can their shame can be hidden from the educated and honest public anymore.
Since the election, I am proud to say that I have never watch a single CNN show until now. These people are not honest journalists but are out to push their own leftist, ultra liberal agendas and fool the American public. Here, somewhere in an Asian country where I live (I am not an American), I have been praying that the truth will prevail in America and that as according to its great founding spirit and examplary constitution, Americans, the defenders of the oppressed will be wise and will take back control of their precious country.
