"But as vice president, Biden is taking credit for success in Iraq. 'I am very optimistic about Iraq,' he said. 'I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration.'"
It would be a major coup to have the Obama admin taking credit for the successes of the Iraq war. We all know Bush mismanaged both wars and to give his admin some credit, the current successes in Iraq were started under the Bush but it is Obama's admin that is managing it now and if repubs want to whine about it, let them. There is plenty of cheese to go round. I would recommend a nice gouda.
