Really?

How desperate does an administration have to be to claim credit for any positive developments that have transpired on its watch?

Last month, Vice President Joe Biden proclaimed on CNN’s Larry King Live that the peaceful transition to democracy and the (partial) withdrawal of U.S. forces “could be one of the great achievements of this administration.”

That desperate.

Bear in mind this man’s boss voted against the troop surge that for all intents and purposes saved this country’s efforts there in Iraq. To vote against the surge is one thing but to never publicly acknowledge the positive facts on the ground and then try to take credit for the same is cravenly pathetic.
