Barack Obama Watch: In A Shocker Obama Flip Flops on Iraq War

Posted by: Flap in Barack Obama, Iraq, Iraq War, John McCain

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., center, speaks during his campaign stop in Fargo, N.D., July 3, 2008

In a shocking reversal of Iraq War policy, Barack Obama moves to the RIGHT and now says he would be open to “redefine my policies” about a timeline for withdrawing troops after meeting with American military commanders during his trip to Iraq next month.

Mr. Obama, whose popularity in the Democratic primary was built upon a sharp opposition to the war and an often-touted 16-month gradual timetable for removing combat troops, dismissed suggestions that he was changing positions in the wake of reductions in violence in Iraq and a general election fight with Senator John McCain.

“I’ve always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed,” he said. “And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I’m sure I’ll have more information and will continue to refine my policies.”

Another flip-flop for Obama. Damn, this POL is flipping more than Mitt Romney or pancakes.

The Iraq war – a war Obama opposed before he was for it.

Just as Jeremiah Wright said the first time – just a politician. Flap will add – what a phony.

Plus Ca Change

   Barack must of thought that his supporters thought he was the “coolest” of the democratic candidates and that is why they voted for him in the primary. Such a mistake. To flip-flop on the most important issues, not to mention chastizing Reverend Wright (Right), and Wesley Clark. What a loser. I’m voting for Nader no matter what. What Nader said 20 years ago is his position today, so I’m voting for truth. I remember the pro-war democrats bathing in the hype after 9/11, then I remember the anti-war democrats (flip-flop) when Americans decided the war was nonsense in the polls. Democrats like to be popular even at the expense of “truth”.

   I can say that you are at least consistent. Same with the conservatives that embrace McCain after many years of disdain.

   This isn’t the least bit shocking to me. Why anyone would think real change is coming from yet another Washington politician is beyond me. The fallacy here is that the Iraq War is the Bush Iraq War. Now you’re beginning to see the truth that it is not!
