Obama Thanks Troops for “Dumb War”
As the war in Iraq winds down and the Iraqi people see the fruits of the successful troop surge implemented by President George W. Bush and General David Petraeus, Barack Obama thanks the troops in a shameless effort to take credit for the successful policies that he opposed.
In 2002, Obama gave a speech describing Iraq as “a dumb war,” a distraction, and a “sacrifice in vain.” The text of that speech opposing the war can be found here.
