Obama, Without Preconditions or Preparation [Byron York]

The McCain campaign is pointing out that it was one year ago today, during a Democratic debate, that Barack Obama was asked the famous would-you-meet-Ahmadinejad-without-preconditions question. This was it:

QUESTION: In the spirit of…bold leadership, would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?

OBAMA: I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration - is ridiculous.

This morning, in Israel, Obama was asked whether he would still give the same answer. His response:

I think that what I said in response was that I would at my time and choosing be willing to meet with any leader if I thought it would promote the national security interests of the United States of America. And that continues to be my position. That if I think that I can get a deal that is going to advance our cause, then I would consider that opportunity. But what I also said was that there is a difference between meeting without preconditions and meeting without preparation.

Obama just didn’t talk about preparation.

[snip] by Mr. Obama’s own account, neither U.S. commanders nor Iraq’s principal political leaders actually support his strategy. [end]

The question remains. How well will the McCain team effectively use all these flip flops. And of course, are a majority of American voters seeing him(BHO) for what he is.
How will they react to what they see in Republican adds.
Of course as has been brought up. The Hildebeast lays in wait, quiet for the most part along with Bubba. Who will the super delegates choose.
