Obama's "Restructuring"

By Michael Goldfarb
WorldwideStandard.com

Barack Obama has already stepped back from remarks he made the other day claiming that we "have seen over three thousand lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."

Here's the video clip, which was widely circulated by conservative blogs yesterday.

The New York Times reports that Obama has "restructure[d]" his remarks--he only meant "that their service hasn’t been honored because our civilian strategy has not honored their courage and bravery, and we have put them in a situation in which it is hard for them to succeed.” Hard to take that seriously when none of the Democratic candidates has proposed any type of strategy that would give the troops a better chance at success. Allahpundit does an excellent job of explaining the conundrum facing the Democrats:
    Of course he thinks their lives were wasted. Everyone on 
    the anti-war side does; that’s one of the reasons they 
    want to end the war. But they can’t say that because it 
    dishonors the dead so they’re forced into rhetorical 
    pretzels like the one Pelosi tied herself into a few weeks
    ago with Diane Sawyer. Army Lawyer summed up her position 
    at the time thusly: “They didn’t die for nothing, they 
    died for something stupid.”
