Reality Trumps Audacity
Obama struggles with the truth. As usual Obama prevails, but there is a silver lining.
So a stuttering Obama catches Himself before lying to his starry-eyed flock that a known terrorist organization in Iraq that has publicly identified itself around Earth as Al Qaeda In Iraq is in fact not in Iraq, and instead babbles that Al Qaeda's leaders are not in Iraq. While this is truly a prodigious prevarication, it is neither revelation nor relevant. But it is revealing in that it's the only way the Chosen One can bolster the Democrats' intelligence-insulting lie that the real war is somehow somewhere else, anywhere but Iraq. Where, by the way, American and IMF forces are mulching what is left of Al Qaeda In Iraq and other various and sundry Islamofascist assholes that used-to-flock-there-but-not-so-much-any-more. Including Sadr's Islamofascist assholes, which outfit is a shadow of what it was before American forces identified its heads and targeted them for death as soon as Sadr exposed their dumb asses.
John Hinderaker:
If the Democrats were invested in the truth, they would follow their own special and precious advice and "listen to the generals" (I believe a General Petreaus was in DC just in the last few days). Instead, they'll keep denying reality in Iraq at least until November, after which they will be forced to deal with it regardless of who next assumes the office of the President.
What does Obama do by asking us to believe that Iraq is suddenly all wrapped up and safe from the "real" Al Qaeda, but horribly insult the young Americans who have given blood, limb and life to rescue Iraq's people?

John Hinderaker:
...this is, of course, a non sequitur. So what? Al Qaeda's top leadership has made creating chaos in Iraq its number one priority. Was the top leadership of Nazi Germany in Normandy, or the top leadership of imperial Japan on Iwo Jima? Obama's slip nicely reveals how the Democrats' incoherent policy on Iraq requires them to deny, explicitly or implicitly, the reality of what is happening there.True. Their "incoherent policy" originates of course from the fact that Democrats have to lie about the rescue of Iraq in order to maintain the support of their idiot-left base who, while fabulously self-delusional, nonetheless play a large part in the Democrats' electoral prospects. That's reality.
