Chuck the Schmuck slanders troops, then tries to cover up his slander

Maybe it was a Kerryesque “botched joke”? Uh-huh…sure it was. From Sweetness and Light:

Schumer Deletes US Troop Slur From His Speech

As proudly displayed on Senator Chuck Schumer’s own taxpayer provided website:

…
We’ve heard of success stories every six or eight months. This province, this town, this city. “They’re cleared, they’re safe.” And then because of the basic facts on the ground, we revert to the old situation. And let me be clear: the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge.

The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, “We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves.” It wasn’t that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords had to create a temporary peace here on their own. And that is because there was no one else there protecting them.

Of coure the Senator is a liar. These local ”warlords,” as he calls them, are working with the US forces. They are not fighting Al Qaeda and the other militias on their own.

If the locals thought the US troops were incompetent they wouldn’t bother. However the opposite is true. And it is born out in every news report on the situation on the ground.

But Mr. Schumer will say anything to try to bring about America’s defeat in Iraq and in the war on terror in general. For the Senator is also a traitor.

But, it turns out, Chuck Schumer is not only a liar and a traitor, he is a coward as well.

According to what he posted on his site (which I have preserved with a screen grab) he said:

And let me be clear: the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, “We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves.”

But according to the video of his remarks on the Senate floor Mr. Schumer said this:

[video clip here]
The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the Surge, not because of the Surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from Al Qaeda said to these tribes: We have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves.

But who are you going to believe?

The honorable Mr. Schumer or your lying eyes?

Hmmm…which to believe? I’ll take “My Lying Eyes” for $100, Alex!
