WASHINGTON (AFP) — Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama insisted Thursday he had not changed his plan to order immediate troop withdrawals from Iraq, despite earlier saying he might refine his policies.

Obama's attempts to clarify his Iraq policy, before a looming visit to the war zone, drew a triumphant response from the campaign of Republican presumptive nominee John McCain, a staunch supporter of the current war effort.

Obama held two press conferences within hours in North Dakota, in an attempt to dispel reports that he was softening his proposal to get all combat troops home within 16 months, in the light of recent security gains.

Is this a ‘Flip’ or is it a ‘Flop’.

This is a 'Flip'. The 'Flop' is in November.

He’s the “change candidate.” Every day he changes his mind about some major issue, and then he says he hasn’t changed his position. The Obama coat of arms is a giant pretzel.

Only Obama could make John Kerry seem as steady as the Rock of Gibraltor.

The thing I love about these Liberal Loons is that they just keep changing their positions to just get votes and everyone just goes along without asking the Question ,well then since you have now changed your position do you apologize for criticising George Bushs Surge ? Do you now admit you were wrong ? Why Not , The President has been Lambasted for 8 years for being Stubborn and never admitting he made Mistakes, Are you not Just another George Bush?

Changing what?.,..his diapers?

Nope, that won't happen until he's in The Zone:

Obama's attempts to clarify his Iraq policy, before a looming visit to the war zone...

I'll bet you that if there's distant gunfire when Obamessiah is there, he'll flinch.

I’ll bet if he does have cause flinch, he’ll be thinking it’s friendly fire, rather than his brotherly friends. :-\
