Move On Over, General. There’s Only Progress in Iraq Because of Hillary.

It was a feat of hypocritical gymnastics so great, it deserves recognition. On Meet the Press this past weekend, Senator Clinton criticized Senator Obama by saying that, when it comes to making change happen, it’s not enough to give speeches. Then a few minutes later she pooh-poohed the surge and the progress being made by General Petreaus in Iraq — progress she claimed took a “willing suspension of disbelief” to support — and stated that the changes in Iraq are the result of the speeches being made by the Democratic nominees for President.

“I know the Iraqi’s listen to everything I say,” Clinton claimed.

Words are not enough… unless, of course, they’re Hillary’s words. Move On over, General Petreaus. Apparently all of the credit for the progress in Iraq goes to Hillary Clinton’s “Speech Surge.” Talk about fairy tales.
