You're not understanding me. To credit him and his administration for being the reason Iraq has not had an American death in over a month is recockulous. There is NOTHING that he has done this past year thats any different than when Bush was in office that would indicate he is the reason there were no deaths for a month. He took over when Iraq was on a downslope from violence and attacks. When Bush was in office, thats when we were cleaning house. We've cleaned house and Iraq is a lot safer NOW during Obamas administration than it was during Bushs. Its just going to get better and better with time. Thats how it works... in most cases at least. Thats not hard to understand.
