Barack Obama's flip flop on Iraq Jack Tapper resurrects a Ted Koppel interview with Obama during the 2004 convention that includes this: ... Koppel asked, "But do you think that most the delegates on the floor really understand that President Kerry is not going to pursue a policy in Iraq that is essentially different from the one that George Bush is pursuing?" "Oh, I think that they understand that," Obama said. "I think that they recognize that we cannot afford to simply cut and run in Iraq, and that we are in a difficult situation right now. And I think that what they are hoping for is somebody who is going to bring a thoughtfulness and a base of experience to decision-making in the White House, which John Kerry possesses,.... (Emphasis added.) ... I have posted before a video where he made essentially the same statement. But it is interesting to see the big guys finally take notice. Obama's campaign has been built on skipping over his position on Iraq from 2004 until October of 2006. When you see that part it makes his flip flops look even more cynical. What happened in October of 2006 to make him change his mind? Certainly the war had become more difficult, but it was also at that time that his buddy Rezko lost out on a deal in Iraq. Both reasons do not reflect well on Obama's strength of character. POSTED BY MERV prairiepundit.blogspot.com
