THE SPIN BEGINS! New York Times trying to credit Obama with Iraq win. Bob Owens deconstructs.
Compare with this assessment in the Kansas City Star: Bush leaves Iraq in good shape for Obama.

Except, it turns out, that’s not really true.
In fact, Obama’s base of small donors was almost exactly the same percent as George W. Bush’s in 2004 -- Obama had 26% and the great Republican satan 25%. Obviously, this is unacceptable to current popular thinking.
If this sort of analysis continues, pretty soon Tom Friedman and the New York Times will be giving Obama credit for victory in Iraq.
Oh, wait. ...

... , just like Confederate Yankee wasn’t: In the last year, though, the U.S. troop surge and the backlash from moderate Iraqi Sunnis against Al Qaeda and Iraqi Shiites against pro-Iranian extremists have brought a new measure of stability to Iraq. There is now, for the first time, a chance — still only a chance — that a reasonably stable democratizing government, though no doubt corrupt in places, can take root in the Iraqi political space.

If he can pull this off, and help that decent Iraq take root, Obama and the Democrats could not only end the Iraq war but salvage something positive from it. Nothing would do more to enhance the Democratic Party’s national security credentials than that.

As Expected, the New York Times Tries to Give Obama and Liberals Credit for Iraq Success
Wizbang —
... the face of immense pressure from the liberals and the rest of the world to retreat. Compare this to Barack Obama, who, from the time he came into the US Senate, has done everything he can to lose this war. He and his fellow Democrats in the Senate voted against funding for the troops. They badmouthed the war. Harry Reid said it was lost on national television. Yet the Thomas Friedman at the New York Times says Obama and the liberals deserve the credit for its success. Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee had the same reaction I did: If he can pull this of? And then he ...
