He continued, 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, and you know I'm not somebody who, unlike George Bush, is willing to ignore facts on the basis of my preconceived notions. I want to pay attention to whats happening on the ground.

So now he’s just “misunderstood”. OK. Maybe it’s time for him to “reintroduce” himself again.

Obama uses the BC technique - blatently lie, and let the MSM cover for you.
In a debate, Obama was asked if input from the Generals on the ground might change his mind. He replied ‘No, as Commander-in-Chief, my opinion overrides theirs - and in my opinion, we need to leave Iraq immediately’ - not an exact quote, but close.
Now he says he ALWAYS said he would adjust for the facts on the ground. Like BC, he lies - and like they did for BC, the MSM turns away.

I hope he makes it past Denver. By the time he’s firmly ensconced as the Democrat candidate, all of his lies, waffles, and sordid history should reach critical mass.

I think whats important is to understand the difference between strategy and tactics.I wonder if he even knows what the difference is between the two. Throw in Theater and Operational level stuff at him and his big-eared head would probably explode.

Why in the Hell isn't McCain and the GOP going after Obama? If Lee Atwater was still around, Obama would be toast already.
I fricking hate the GOP over crap like this. McCain is going to screw around and lose the election. WAKE UP MCCAIN! Obama makes McGovern look like Reagan!

unlike George Bush, is willing to ignore facts on the basis of my preconceived notions. I want to pay attention to whats happening on the ground. The facts Senator Obama are pretty simple. In the last year we have kicked the bad guys butts from one end of Iraq to the other. We have done this because of General Petraus's brilliant tactics that now have the people that were shooting at us at our side killing bad guys.
The only way we can lose if you are elected President and pull the troops out unconditionally. You know this, you are not stupid. The only logical answer to what you would do is that you WANT US TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At his second hastily called press availability Thursday, Sen. Obama insinuated that the McCain campaign had primed the press and were to blame for the interpretation of his position Oh my. Insinuating that his minions in the press upset his widdle equilibrium?
...what I thought was a pretty innocuous statement...
Hmm, does he even know the meaning of innocuous? At any rate, there is nothing innocuous involved in any discussion regarding our troops and decisions regarding the solutions to the WOT

Obama will give his generals the strategic mission to lose the war, then allow them to formulate the exact tactics to do so.

I'm puzzled why the media have not taken Hussein through the US Constitution paragraph by paragraph and amendment by amendment to get him on the record as to what the document means (words have meanings?) and whether he intends to uphold it or not.
Ha, HA - just kidding.
