Where Does Obama Stand on Iraq?
Where does Barack Obama stand on Iraq? Well, we could just ask him. But, make sure you take note of the date, time and wind direction if you do!
This great video submission to Youtube.com reminds me so much of the famous quote by John Adams (often paraphrased by Ronald Reagan, as well):
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
John Adams - 'Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials,' December 1770
These multiple statements comically presented in the video should be weighed against the comments made in an interview with CBS News' Laura Logan on Sunday's Face the Nation where he stated he has absolutely no doubts about his foreign policy and Commander-in-chief bona fides.
Logan: Do you have any doubts?
Obama: Never.
Well... If after looking at the Youtube video of Obama's swings on Iraq policy, you're just as confused as I am about his positions, I really don't think you're alone. At least Obama is certain of his foreign policy stances... as of 2:30 PM, July 21st, 2008.

Do You Mean Today?
Obama's stand on Iraq is whatever it needs to be to advance his chances of being elected in November. This is no different than his stand on any other issue: the Second Amendment, late-term abortions, Afghanistan, Jeremiah Wright, you name it. He is the most unprincipled candidate to run for the nation's highest political office of anyone I can recall. He is also arrogant, narcissistic and opportunistic. He has been wrong on just about every issue yet none of this matters to his supporters or the mainstream media. He lies, obfuscates, and dodges questions every time someone makes even a token effort to pin him down. Obama is inexperienced, untested, and unqualified to be president but there is a good chance that he will be elected, nevertheless, because he is the ideal "politically-correct" candidate.

That about says it all.
That about says it all. However, I have a little more faith in the American voting public than to believe it's a "good chance" that he is elected. I may be wrong, but I just can't see it happening.
