Anyway, here is what Obama has actually said that an encomiastic main stream media will never put together for you:

1) "I opposed this war from the start" (speech August, 2002).

2) "I did oppose the war, yes, but after, when the invasion was finally launched, when I saw Saddam's statue topple and watched Bush atop the USS Abraham Lincoln, a banner behind him saying 'mission accomplished', I began to suspect that I might have been wrong (page 295 Audacity of Hope).

3) "What would I have done [about Iraq]. I don't know" (2004 Democratic Convention) (NY Times July 23, 2004).

4) "There's not much difference between my position and George Bush's position at this stage" (July 26, 2004, Chicago Tribune).

5) "Once we go in, we've committed. We've got to do everything we can to stabilize the country" ( Nov 23, 2003 on Charlie Rose).

6) "We cannot, [before the surge] through putting in more troops or maintaining the pretense that we have, expect that the situation is going to improve" ( Meet the Press 10/22/2006).

7) "The Army is broken" (Time cover story)

8) "Of 85 Senate votes, on 84 of them he voted with Hillary" (Fox News analysis)

9) When Colin Kahl, the day-to-day coordinator of the Obama campaign’s working group on Iraq, recently [4/4/08] said: "the U.S. should aim to transition to a sustainable over-watch posture (of perhaps 60-80,000 forces) by the end of 2010 the Obama campaign laughably responded, "the writings of Mr. Kahl, one of the hundreds of outside advisers [lie] to the campaign, is not representative of Obama's consistent policy position [lie] on the Iraq war.

9) When radio host Don Imus was fired for saying, "nappy headed hoes," Obama said, "There is nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made any comments like that about anybody of any ethnic group." He was far, far more forgiving of Rev. Wright, who said a whole lot more than Don Imus.

Liberal democrats are liars because they believe, like their earlier Soviet masters, that the truth is only useful if it serves their agenda. For them history is merely something to be ‘adjusted’ to fit current plans and policy.
