Barrack Obama’s Duality On Iraq
Here’s Barrack Obama speaking about Iraq just last year:
...having visited Iraq, I’m also acutely aware that a precipitous withdrawal of our troops, driven by Congressional edict rather than the realities on the ground, will not undo the mistakes made by this Administration. It could compound them.
It could compound them by plunging Iraq into an even deeper and, perhaps, irreparable crisis.
Here’s a quote from Barrack Obama’s 2008 campaign site:
Senator Obama introduced legislation in January 2007 to offer a responsible alternative to President Bush’s failed escalation policy. The legislation commences redeployment of U.S. forces no later than May 1, 2007 with the goal of removing all combat brigades from Iraq by March 31, 2008—a date consistent with the bipartisan Iraq Study Group’s expectations.
I think someone needs to ask Senator Obama why pulling out was a bad idea last year but a good idea now. I mean, what’s changed in Iraq to chagne his mind? Not a thing, as far as I can tell. What he said last year is still true today.
Perhaps it’s something in the Senator’s life that changed. Like maybe a bid for President in 2008? In which case it would mean that Obama is putting politics above sound policy in Iraq.
Pretty disgusting, no?
