Obama and his campaign (along with Hillary!) have been making much of John McCain using the term 100 years in regard to Iraq. The claim being that McCain is ok with war lasting 100 years. But in a case of perhaps hell is seeing ……

That still makes him dishonest on the matter in my book.

Typhonsentra”

Except that McCain “believes” no such thing. Typical liberal strawman argument.

There is absolutely no possibility that it might one day be ‘over’ as it is in other countries that were once at war? Even civil wars that rage for years eventually stop.

If this monster gets elected, they’s gonna be trouble.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Not accusing Yoosaion of obfuscation here, btw. That’s just a contextual problem (see the other links provided, Yoosian, the main clip is just part of the denial process).

I can just imagine Obama, after losing the election, declaring that he was tempted by power but overcame the temptation.

I have to remember that one the next time I don’t get a job I wanted. I overcame temptation.

This man is a spineless opportunist who disrespects his own country and the men and women who serve it at the real risk of their lives.

Empty rhetoric is nice at first Obamamessiah, but eventually you must act.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but it seems to me that all he is doing in this clip is repeating the original lie, but softening 100 years of “war” to 100 years of “occupation.” The video clips it to make it seem like he’s categorically denying that he ever said that he accused McCain of wanting 100 years of war. That seems to be the implication that most of the other comments are picking up on, but that’s not at all the case.

Lie’s, hyperventilating, and propaganda to gain power..

Hitler did it also.

For John McCain’t to complain about this after he distorted Mitt Romneys stance on the pulling of troops …. well, need I say more !

I had forgotten about that. Good point.

Although two wrongs don’t make a right. The liberal punditry ALWAYS respond to any criticism of a Dim by saying “Well this Republican (fill-in-the-name-here- usually Larry Craig) did this horrible thing.” as if that makes everything a-ok. Wrong is wrong whether one person or 10 people are doing it.

Some people just don’t get it.

Yes. And I’m with Sue. That’s not what happened in the Today Show interview. The clip in this thread just edits the interview to make it seem that way.

No, you’re misunderstanding the point here. He’s not denying that he’s ever needled McCain for his “100 years” comment; he’s denying that he *distorted* the comment. McCain didn’t say he wanted 100 years *of war*, he said he wouldn’t mind if the U.S. occupied Iraq peacefully for 100 years a la Okinawa. The clips of Obama on the stump here show him distorting the comment by implying that McCain meant 100 years *of war.* It’s a lie. Watch it again.

As are his lies about him intending to secure the border first.
