On Hardball a few minutes ago, heard roughly the following from Chris Matthews re: Obama’s trip to Iraq:
“The republicans have to be worried looking at this. Americans are finally being greeted as liberators in Iraq, but it’s Obama! Y’know, thinking back to other countries we’ve saved there hasn’t been much appreciation there either. There were people in France back in WW2 that wouldn’t even wave to the US troops that swept out the Nazis…”
Oh Chris, I’m sure there are thousands of Iraqis who’d love nothing more than to tell you how they feel about being “liberated”, but you’d have to get a Ouija board to ask them.
