Distract and confuse should be The One’s motto. Nothing in this Presidency is what it seems…

From Greyhawk at Mudville Gazette – The Iraq drawdown scam:

Greetings, Greyhawk here. It’s been a while since I’ve had something
this significant to report, but I’m not sure the significance will be
obvious to non-milbloggers.

If you take a Brigade sceduled to go to Iraq and schedule it to go to
Afghanistan instead, then make headlines for drawing down Iraq and
building up Afghanistan, could you pull off substituting another
Brigade into the Iraq rotation for the one you diverted without anyone
in the media pointing out that your drawdown is a scam, a hoax on the
American public?

Of course you can. (Well, you and I can’t. And George Bush probably
couldn’t. But Barack Obama can. After all, “yes we can” is his motto,
right?)

And yes he did.
