fits @ Shooting the Messenger:

Has there ever in recent political memory been so much calculation and bad faith by a politician who has made so much of eschewing both?

We now know that Obama isn’t naive – but his ardent supporters are. Obama exhorted them to “believe” (one of his favorite words) in him and his virtue above all – and as soon as they gave him the nomination he wanted, he showed how foolishly credulous they’d been. When it comes to triangulating, he’s Hillary Clinton without the baggage.

Touché!

Would it be possible to keep a sticky post on here that catalogues all of Obama’s flip-flops? It would be nice to have a reference site as he continues to run towards the center.

The pilot of Obama’s plane landed in St. Louis siting “controlability issues” with the candidate’s mechanical problems. The teleprompter had broken.

"abandoning" Guess what suckuh, there's still a few buses left to to throw you under.

Obama: Rest assured, I’m still fully committed to abandoning Iraq… because Iraq is just like Vietnam, and we Dems cut off funding for Saigon, didnt’we? And we allowed the Reds to take over, didn’t we? And the Reds wanted to crush us just like the radical Muslims do, don’t they? So you expect the same thing this go ’round, don’t you?

Yo, we just moved 550 metric tons of Saddam’s enriched uranium out of Iraq. So… there’s that.

Rest assured, Obama is still fully committed to Marx and to abandoning his grandmother, abandoning his spiritual adviser, abandoning his to-be VP and military adviser, abandoning his word, abandoning Iraq, yes. He wouldn’t know what to do otherwise. Abandoning everything is what Obama is experienced doing. It is all he has on record OTHER THAN his full commitment to Marx who is already dead.

Obama The Malleable wants to be marx reincarnate.

October Surprise: 50,000 U.S. troops come home to a gigantic heroes’ parade down the Mall in Washington.

Yep! A parade led by Petraeus, with John McCain as grand marshal giving the welcome home speech.

I don’t know, I think the facts on the ground are going to be so embarrassing to him by November that he just might lose. There may be only a handful of Al Qaeda left in Iraq by then, and they’ll be living in caves like Osama. Our troops will be preparing for a return home in triumph, not defeat.

Obama is totally inconsistent and as a result deserves to be called a charlatan.

That won’t stop him being President though.

Obamessiah should be asked why he thinks those who want the war to end immediately support him if he’s always been putting so many qualifiers out there. Are they too stupid to understand his oh so clear formulations or they dont mind him lying now to everyone else so he can get elected?

I’ve always been curious something BO says quite frequently. He keeps repeating that he will “End this war in Iraq”. How about the larger war on terror of which Iraq is only a piece? Will he end that too? If so how?

What is with this guy? He’s simply not to be trusted. He never says what he said or does what he did or thinks what he thought or meant what he meant…. Just imagine foreign powers trying to make sense of what he says(or didn’t say)or agrees to(or didn’t agree to). Run, not walk, away from his name on the ballot. He is the makings of disaster.

“What’s important is to understand the difference between strategy and tactics,” he told reporters“The tactics of how we ensure our troops are safe as we pull out, how we execute the withdrawal, those are things that are all based on facts and conditions. I am not somebody — unlike George Bush — who is willing to ignore facts on the basis of my preconceived notions.” Both words refer to a plan of action to achieve a goal. Was his plan to ~~withdraw from Iraq~~ surrender by March 2008 a strategy or a tactic?

fleiter, only in PC revisionism is it a “pacifist movement”, I think you’d agree. These “pacifists” are either

1. paid domestic agitators using aggressive and radical socialist techniques and tactics to beat their impact into the ground while bashing the skulls of opponents;

2. or they are sophisticated pencil pushing bastards who would deprive you of work in order to force you into submission.

We all sigh a moment’s relief with the news that the US officials removed Saddam’s yellow cake from Iraq successfully. There goes bobama’s chance to “refine” his covert alliance with the terrorists.

“It doesn’t change my strategic view that we have to bring our occupation to a close.”…

I agree. After he gets trounced in the general election, the next step is for the good people of Illinois to vote him out of that Senate seat he has been sitting in all this time while doing two things for Illinois, namely diddly and squat!

“It doesn’t change my strategic view that we have to bring our occupation to a close.”…

This use of the word “occupation” will have significant bearing on his outlook towards Israel since it is Obama’s cronies that use this term all the time about Palestine.

I am committed to the defeat, of among other things, Iraqi-centric binary thinking, although I will confess that I am not making a whole lot of progress on this web site. However the election will not be decided here so will shall see what happens in November.

No, you’re not. So . . . perhaps you should search for another forum to spew your asinine hyperbole.

This is a clear sign of why Obama worries me. He owes his success to a radical, anti-American, pacifist movement who believes that Iraq—an even Afghanistan—will be peaceful if the evil Americans leave, that there is no such thing as al-Qaida, that both wars are about Big Oil, and that the UN can enforce peace.

The world is going to be a very, very dangerous during and because of the next four years:

Iran will have the bomb. It will give said bomb to Hezbollah

Iraq will be split into two pieces one ruled by Iranian Shiite puppets and the other by al-Qaida affiliated Sunnis. But that doesn’t matter to these people because: IT’s ALL BUSH’s FAULT. This regardless of the danger that al-Qaida in control of so much oil wealth will present a terrible danger to the Western world. When AQ nukes several American cities: IT WILL BE BUSH’S FAULT.

Afghanistan will be ruled by the Taliban again.

Radical Muslims will take control of Pakistan and it’s nuclear arsenal.

Four years of pacifist influence in the United States will prove that there is no peace except through strength.

It seems like what you want is happening more and more, even as we speak. The focus is changing from war to policing in Iraq, and from Iraq to other dangers. You didn’t wait long enough. Iraq is not Vietnam. Both Vietnam and the US should have been so lucky.

Sometimes I get the feeling you are fighting past demons. I say that because I know it myself.

fwiw, I truly hope you don’t vote for Obama. He’s really the wrong kind of protest to make. (But I will join you in DC to protest against stupid stuff President McCain does if you would like. I still haven’t made it inside the National Gallery.)

I think it means that ol’ MB4 disagrees with the mission creep aspect of Iraq. He thinks the military should break things and kill enemies and nothing else.

[platypus on July 6, 2008 at 1:37 AM]

I agree. I don’t think that is realistic, unfortunately.

And, yes, God Bless the troops that serve in the US military, which is also the country I was born and have always resided in.
