Obama joins the Kerry, Murtha, Durbin chorus. Do they do this because the leftwing of the party expects it?
AP:Answering a question on how he would refocus U.S. troops out of Iraq to better fight terrorism, he said, "We've to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air- raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there."
ANOVER, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful Barack Obama was warned by a friendly voter Monday to avoid public spats with his Democratic rivals—but remarks he made later could add fuel to the criticism against him.
During a later appearance before about 800 people in Nashua, Obama made a comment likely to further the spats he was warned about.
Answering a question on how he would refocus U.S. troops out of Iraq to better fight terrorism, he said, "We've to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air- raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there."
Earlier this month, Obama drew criticism when he said he would send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists even without local permission, if warranted.
A Republican National Committee spokeswoman said Obama's characterization of the presidential campaign shows he's unfit to lead.
"Unfortunately for Barack Obama, this campaign is not a fraternity hazing ritual, and Americans are not going to elect a rookie politician who has ditched his 'politics of hope' mantra and gone on the attack now that he's dropping in the polls," Amber Wilkerson said.
