Here comes the spin...

[Bill219]

On MSNBC they are talking about how Bush's "Surge" is making the withdrawal from Iraq possible

[Dinger]

1. The Withdrawal Was Possible Long Ago

What idiots.

[Renew Deal]

2. Great.

Who cares at this point?

[BuyingThyme]

7. Yes, let them be heroes.

Whatever. Just get this done already.

[98Beatsies]

3. that's called re-writing history

[ErinBerin84]

4. yeah,

I just turned it on, and Gregory was saying "Does this vindicate Bush?" Uh, whatevs, Stretch.

[Jennicut]

5. Vindicating bush for the "surge" would mean vindicating him

for the whole entire Iraq War. That does not fly for a lot of people.

[ErinBerin84]

6. it was funny

bc he started with "Yeah, Obama's supporters might get MAD that he told them he doesn't want to re-litigate how we got into war, and that we need to move on. Anway, moving on. Doesn't this vindicate Bush?"

[Jennicut]

11. Lurch's "reporting" is hysterically all over the place.

[jenmito]

8. I was going to write the same thing. And after Gen. Barry McCaffrey said,

he had tears in his eyes while watching Obama, with his straight-forward talk to the troops after 8 years of weasel words, and how well he connected to the troops, Gregory said, "Let me push back on that a little bit..." and went on to "remind" them how Obama was against the surge which made these conditions possible for him to talk about, etc. :eyes:

[jenmito]

9. John Yang, WH reporter for MSNBC, said it really struck him that Obama "went out of his way to

praise the troops..." even though he was against the Iraq War, as if Obama was ever AGAINST the troops or held it against them for BUSH sending them to war! :eyes:

[Occam Bandage]

10. Okay. Whatever. Give him props, deserved or not, if

it'll get more people on board with getting out.
