What A Schmuck!

Talk about rewriting history.

Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer made a speech on the Senate floor a few days ago ranting about how contradictory to official military reports, the "surge is not working". In this speech Schumer made a kick-in-the -crotch slam against our military that is highlighted here.

The direct quote:
"And let me be clear 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 Queda said we have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves."

He later said:
"It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here."

But if it wasn't bad enough that someone could say something so stupid and arrogant in the first place, the moron from New York has now tried to cover it up and make it appear that his words were nothing more than fabrication. Thanks to some great folks at Newsbusters he got caught with his pants down.

The quote that appeared on his website was simply cut down to: "The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, we have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves." Image found at Gateway Pundit.

Just a little bit of a change.

BUT I'M NOT THROUGH!!!

In fact if you go to visit the report today on Schmuck Schumer's website you will find a completely different document without the rewrite or the original statement in it.

Wow looks like someone is really trying to cover up their tracks.
