Barack Obama: Living in the Past on Iraq
October 13, 2008
By Guy Benson
TOWNHALL - Barack Obama's lectures on Iraq are insufferable. If you ask Obama, every social ill, international crisis, economic hardship, or spilt glass of milk is somehow traced back to a war that "should never have been authorized, and never been waged." Compounding conservatives' frustration is the reality that John McCain never seems interested in defending America's original effort to topple the Hussein regime. McCain's reluctance to do so is understandable to a point, considering the current unpopularity of that decision, but his unwillingness to expose Obama's credibility gap on the larger question is vexing.
OBAMA 101

NATIONAL REVIEW - On Monday, in an opinion piece published in the New York Post, I suggested that Senator Barack Obama had urged Iraqi leaders to postpone making an agreement with the United States until there was a new administration in Washington.
I said this because Obama himself had said it.
Barack Obama Can’t Be Trusted on National Defense

AMERICAN PROWLER - A couple of weeks ago, the Left was having a grand old time yucking it up over Sarah Palin, even starting a little pool taking bets as to the date when Palin would withdraw. A couple of days ago, the Huffington Post called on Joe Biden to withdraw so that Hillary Clinton could take his place and save Obama from the Palin tidal wave.
But while they are reopening the Democrat ticket, they may as well replace the top of the ticket as well.

NY POST - Barack Obama said yesterday he didn't urge Iraq to hold up an agreement with the Bush administration over the status of US troops serving in Iraq.
"Obama has never urged a delay in negotiations, nor has he urged a delay in immediately beginning a responsible drawdown of our combat brigades," said Wendy Morigi, an Obama spokeswoman in response to a column in yesterday's Post.
Let The Flip-Flopping Begin! Obama Concedes Surge Succeeded ‘Beyond Wildest Dreams’
September 4, 2008
FOX NEWS - The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.”
As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people.
Obama’s Surge Purge
July 30, 2008
By Kathy Shaidle
FRONGPAGE MAGAZINE - Barack Obama styles himself the candidate of “change” and “hope”. So when his website “changed” to erase his well-known opposition to the Iraq War surge, maybe the Senator “hoped” no one would notice.
In this day and age, that’s a foolish, not to mention cynical, conceit, especially coming from the young, self-proclaimed “progressive” Democrat. And it backfired. Even the Los Angeles Times picked up the small but telling story after it first broke in the blogosphere.
A Delusional Barack Obama Says Iraq Surge Was A Bad Strategy
July 22, 2008
Below the jump is an amazing video that completely exposes Barack Obama for the arrogant, flim flamming candidate that he is. Katie Couric interviewed both Barack Obama and John McCain regarding the surge in Iraq. Barack Obama was cocky, arrogant and delusional about just who is responsible for the SUCCESS of the surge in Iraq. The contrast between Obama and McCain is truly an amazing sight to behold! Watch for yourself.
Barack Obama’s Judgement
July 18, 2008
Wall Street Journal Editorial
WSJ - Barack Obama departs for Iraq as early as this weekend, with a media entourage as large as some of his rallies. He'll no doubt learn a lot, in addition to getting a good photo op. What we'll be waiting to hear is whether the would-be Commander in Chief absorbs enough to admit he was wrong about the troop surge in Iraq.
The Iraq Trap: Can Senator Obama Avoid It?
July 16, 2008
By Ray Robison
AMERICAN THINKER - One of the most persistent and pernicious myths about the Iraq War, proffered by leading Democrats and propelled by the media, is the accusation that the President and his top aides "won't listen to the generals." Both President Bush and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld were tainted by this fallacious narrative.
Barack Obama Scrubs website of surge criticism
July 15, 2008

AMERICAN THINKER - Unbelievable but true. After denigrating the surge for more than a year, according to the New York Daily News Obama's minions have been busy scrubbing his website of any criticism the candidate made of the surge.
Obama’s Iran nonsense: Let’s Not Be Provocative!
July 15, 2008
By Matthew Continetti
WEEKLY STANDARD - Asked how the United States ought to respond to last week's Iranian missile tests, Barack Obama told CNN that it was important "we avoid provocation." Just as last year, Obama criticized a Senate bill designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization because it was too "provocative." This has us wondering: Is the problem with Iran that the United States seems provocative?
