Flip Flop Alert: Obama's surge switch
Why can't he just admit he was wrong? In an interview with Newsweek's Richard Wolffe on July 26, Sen. Barack Obama said his 16-month timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq wouldn't involve all of the U.S. forces there."[Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-] Maliki recognizes that they're going to need our help for some time to come, as our commanders insist, but that help is of the sort that is consistent with the kind of phased withdrawal I have promoted," Mr. Obama said. "We're going to have to provide them with logistical support, intelligence support. We're going to have to have a very capable counterterrorism strike force. We're going to have to continue to train their army and police to make them more effective." Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2008-08-03 |
