Barack Obama Continues His 100 Years Of War Attack
In a great catch from MKH, Barack Obama is caught in a LIE about John McCain’s 100 year war comment (H/T Allah over at Hot Air).
Here is Obama’s comment from the other day:
- Barack Obama misstates John McCain’s position on the Iraq War again.
In a back and forth at today’s press conference, Obama insisted he was not taking out of context McCain’s comments about keeping troops in Iraq for 100 years. Asked if his attack was disingenous, Obama had the following to say:
“I don’t think it’s unfair at all,†Obama said. “John McCain, I mean, we can run the YouTube spot, has said that we will stay there as long as it takes. And if it takes another 100 years, he’s up for that commitment and that implies that there is some criteria by which we would understand how long it takes.
“John McCain has not been clear about what exactly would lead him to decide it’s time to pull out. And so, you know, the problem that we’ve had both with John McCain and George Bush is that there’s no clear definition of success. There never was, and that’s why this has been such a profound strategic error. And you know, I think it is entirely fair to suggest that unless he’s got some criteria where by, at some point, we would be able to pull out our troops. For him to argue that, which he has repeatedly, that any suggestion that we withdraw troops is surrender. That implies that we will be there as long as he thinks it’s necessary for us to be there.â€
Ok, let’s look at the Meet the Press interview where John McCain was asked about his 100 year Iraq War comment with the video clip of McCain.
“He (McCain) says that he is willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war in Iraq†(Barack Obama, Feb. 19).
“We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years†(Obama, Feb. 26).
Now, Barack Obama is either stupid, disingenuous or LYING for political expedience and advantage.
Take your pick…….
