Obama Has Purged His Own Web Site of Iraq Criticisms

While they’re in the process of re-writing history may I suggest that Obama make a new video of him standing and clapping the surge at the State of The Union.
Maybe he could stage the event at congress and have some of his wussie emasculated Super delegates in the video as a backdrop.

vinnie — seems Obama is pretty good at hiding. He’s afraid of joining McCain for Town Hall Meetings. He’s afraid to be on the same stage with Hillary if her name gets put into nomination. He’s afraid to allow any criticism of him because he’s afraid to look foolish.

Well it looks like Obama is the “new decider”. I don’t think it matters anyways his poll numbers are really starting to drop and his negatives are reaching into the mid-40’s. Americans can see now a candidate that uses poor judgement, has no experience, and doesn’t seem to have a “solid core” set of principles. Obama’s “solid” core seems to be made out of some type of “jello”…………sad. I still don’t know who this guy is, Obama. I know he’s a product of the “Axis of intolerant liberal mis-informtion”. Our mostly liberal MSM wolfpackp press………elite liberal Hollywood (Oprah and others), and our liberal professors and their contaminated students, our children…………….. The GOD like image of Obama is fading and McCain should win with over 300+ electoral votes on the night of November 4th……………epecially if he picks Mitt Romney as his veep……………..goodbye Obama!

here who he is!

I think there will be more of this as he keeps backtracking.

If you go to Internet Archive, you will notice, Barack’s website has not been indexed there since August 2007. That is on purpose, they’ve set something to stop that from happening.

Someone who has time and can set up a way to do it, I would advise saving a copy of his major policy pages every day. Create an archive.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Why is that only crooks and politicians can’t understand there are no secrets anymore? Someone somewhere is taping, recording, listening and taking pictures.
You can’t say one thiing one day and the next say you didn’t. In obama’s case he is both a crook and a pol.

Thanks for posting this. The distinction between SD’s and pledged delegates and how the nominating process works cannot be emphasized and repeated enough.

What they going to do if Hillary gets the nomination in Denver? The Obambies can not fight democratically, they are fascist and cult like thugs who will force their will on people who don’t want Obambi in the WH. But, people will prevail and these paper tigers will go to their holes when MacCain wins the election on Nov.

Mine was one they got , we moved here…

the Republican fun is just beginning….that is the difference. Obama may very well be the nominee but his chances of being President or slim to none.

If Obama airbrushed his website and the media didn’t report on it, did it actually happen?

Damn you wussy mofo. ‘It is what it is’. I suppose if someone comes and knocks you in the head the first thing out of your mouth is ‘it is what it is’. Wussified.

The thinks they control what ‘news’ is. They are losing that grip only because we are still defining what appears on the MSM as the arbiter of reality. PUMA is a reality. Withholding funds to the DNC is a reality. The rubber meets the road when the DNC comes out of their kool-aid stupor and find Hillary’s debt paid off yet Hobama can’t get a dime from these same folks. Chickens - roost.

Meantime, airheads like yourself will continue to get punched in the head and your wussified self saying ‘it is what it is’. Fuck you!

sassy — the memm on Obama is that he is a chicken chit who is terrified of everybody he thinks is more qualified then he is to be President. So he runs away and makes excuses to delude himself and us into believing that he is a strong candidate.

Dan..
I’m on the same page as you!

Now what needs to be scrutinized is Obama’s latest plan for Iraq.
Obama now says the surge is working but still would draw down troops and send them to Afganistan which history has shown is a bottomless pit quagmire.
We need to redouble our efforts in Iraq and make them a strong Democracy allied with the West and the United States.

Why does Obama hate victory in Iraq?

Wow. Respond to this, obama trolls, if you dare. What a scathing indicment - in Obama’s own words:

Obama’s Dishonest Op-Ed

In this morning’s New York Times, Barack Obama published an op-ed on Iraq that presumably previews his “major speech” on the subject tomorrow. Even by Obama’s standards, the piece is breathtakingly dishonest.

Obama admits that he opposed the surge, and the attendant change in strategy and tactics, that have brought us close to victory. But he somehow manages to twist his being wrong about the surge–the major foreign policy issue that has arisen during his time in Congress–into vindication:

But the same factors that led me to oppose the surge still hold true. The strain on our military has grown, the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated and we’ve spent nearly $200 billion more in Iraq than we had budgeted. Iraq’s leaders have failed to invest tens of billions of dollars in oil revenues in rebuilding their own country, and they have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.
Actually, however, Obama opposed the surge not because of those “factors” but because he thought it would fail. He said, on January 10, 2007, on MSNBC:

I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.
On January 14, 2007, on Face the Nation, he said:

We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality — we can send 15,000 more troops, 20,000 more troops, 30,000 more troops, I don’t know any expert on the region or any military officer that I’ve spoken to privately that believes that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.
On March 19, 2007, on the Larry King show, he said:

[E]ven those who are supporting — but here’s the thing, Larry — even those who support the escalation have acknowledged that 20,000, 30,000, even 40,000 more troops placed temporarily in places like Baghdad are not going to make a long-term difference.
On May 25, 2007, in a speech to the Coalition Of Black Trade Unionists Convention, Obama said:

And what I know is that what our troops deserve is not just rhetoric, they deserve a new plan. Governor Romney and Senator McCain clearly believe that the course that we’re on in Iraq is working, I do not.
On July 18, 2007, on the Today show, he said:

My assessment is that the surge has not worked and we will not see a different report eight weeks from now.
On November 11, 2007, two months after General David Petraeus told Congress that the surge was working, Obama doubled down, saying that the administration’s new strategy was making the situation in Iraq worse:

Finally, in 2006-2007, we started to see that, even after an election, George Bush continued to want to pursue a course that didn’t withdraw troops from Iraq but actually doubled them and initiated a surge and at that stage I said very clearly, not only have we not seen improvements, but we’re actually worsening, potentially, a situation there.
In short, Obama bet the farm on his prediction that General Petraeus and the American military would fail. He was as spectacularly wrong as John McCain was spectacularly right. But his op-ed somehow twists this history into vindication on the theory that Afghanistan has deteriorated, the Iraq war has been expensive, and Iraq’s political leaders “have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.”

Let’s start with the last point. Obama completely fails to acknowledge the remarkable political progress that has resulted from the surge, as manifested by the fact that the country’s largest Sunni bloc has rejoined the government, and the U.S. Embassy reports that 15 of the 18 benchmarks of political progress that were set by Congress are now being met. Those benchmarks were set precisely for the purpose of measuring the “political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge,” yet Obama fails even to mention them.

Still more dishonest is Obama’s failure to acknowledge what would have happened if his policy prescription, precipitate withdrawal regardless of military conditions, had been followed: chaos, sectarian violence, possibly genocide, a resurgent al Qaeda in control of part of Iraq, with Iran possibly in control of other areas of the country. This would have been a foreign policy disaster, yet Obama, with vague references to cost and Afghanistan, claims vindication!

As to al Qaeda–the elephant in the room–Obama simply dissimulates:

Iraq is not the central front in the war on terrorism, and it never has been.
That’s not what Osama bin Laden (Iraq is where the “Third World War is raging”) or Ayman al-Zawahiri (Iraq is “the place for the greatest battle of Islam in this era”) say. Al Qaeda summoned jihadists from around the Muslim world to go to Iraq to fight American troops, declaring that this effort is the central front in their war against civilization. Those jihadists have been devastated by American armed forces, who have thereby scored what may, with hindsight, turn out to have been the decisive victory in the war against Muslim extremism. Obama denies all of this in a single sentence, without citing any evidence whatsoever.

Finally, Afghanistan: Obama would have us believe that he urged defeat in Iraq because he was so firmly committed to victory in Afghanistan. Once again, he misrepresents the record.

In fact, Obama has never supported our troops in Afghanistan. On the contrary, he said on August 14, 2007–less than a year ago–that our forces there are mostly committing war crimes:

We’ve got 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.
Obama has been so uninterested in Afghanistan that when he went to Iraq and other countries in the Middle East with a Congressional delegation in January 2006, he skipped the opportunity to continue on to Afghanistan, which was taken by others who made the trip with him, including Kit Bond and Harold Ford. And, in an embarrassing gaffe, Obama claimed on May 13, 2008, that we don’t have enough “Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers” in Afghanistan because they are all being used in Iraq. Obama thereby demonstrated the intellectual laziness and incuriosity that characterizes his campaign: they don’t speak Arabic in Afghanistan, and, anyway, interpreters are drawn from local populations, not shipped around the world.

Worst of all, far from being committed to victory in Afghanistan, Obama voted to cut off all funding for all of our military efforts in Afghanistan on May 24, 2007 (H.R. 2206, CQ Vote #181), thereby seeking to bring about defeat there as well as in Iraq. His current effort to portray himself as a wolf in sheep’s clothing on Afghanistan is a complete fraud.

It is possible that at some point in American history there may have been a major politician as dishonest as Barack Obama, but I can’t offhand think of such a miscreant.

ha! Obama was against the purge before he was for it.

Oo! Good one!

The stupid bastard wants to redeploy Arabic translators from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Not much Arabic spoken in Afghanistan.

PASHTO is the majority language in Afghanistan.

“Never mind!” - Emily Litella

Harp, I hate to disagree because I agree with most of what you and Seattle say. I joined justsaynodeal yesterday and I am ready to vote for McCain in November, unless the miracle happens, but I am skeptical about Iraq. Agree absolutely Obama is not committed to any plan for Iraq and goes where the wind blows him, but I am a cynical, horrible person for believing Hermann Goering. “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it often enough, people will believe.” I’ve seen the pictures and heard the tale about Iraq being transformed, but I also remember seeing pictures of cement walls in barrios in Baghdad, people having to go through five or six checkpoints to leave their neighborhoods and hearing the Sunnis are cooperating is not too impressive if you consider they have received military equipment and money from the US. I pray you are right and this situation is finally under control, but this is an election year full of lies and distortion. I have never believed Obama intended to draw down the troops from Iraq any more than I believe, for an instant, he intends to create a new health care system in this country. He misquoted Nuri al Maliki and the press, of course, said it wasn’t his fault as they always do. And rather than talk to the Pentagon, he ran with the story and his new op-ed is the forth in the last two weeks. I doubt he is fully cleared for daily briefings, but he could talk to someone objective there and maybe learn the truth. If the pentagon didn’t know Maliki was misquoted, we are in a hole we’ll never dig out of anyway. I’ll vote for McCain for reasons having nothing to do with his policies and I’ve made that decision and I’m at peace with it, but I will not be deluded. As a person, he is probably better than most in our government and he is more trustworthy than Obama, but he doesn’t represent my view any more than Obama. We need to be out of Iraq now. I have heard George Bush, Dick Cheney and others say too many times, we have turned the corner and the insurgency in in it’s last throes. There are ways, I’m sure, to enlist help from the UN and neighboring countries to try to insure the safety of civilians although it’s doubtful that will be completely successful. This is a Civil War and has it’s roots in generations of religious and ethnic differences and no surge the US can do will make a difference. When we pull our troops out, it will begin in Earnest whether it is next year or fifty or a hundred years from now. Saddam was able to keep it at bay by brute force, but we have “set loose the dogs of war” and we can’t fix it. Both candidates are using this as a political issue. The major difference being at least McCain is consistent while Obama is swimming around in a fog trying to remake his policy everyday depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Graham is 100% correct: Obama has no shame, and just as with his totally false backstory, is attempting to say whatever he thinks suits the political winds when he says it.

The entire thrust of his ‘judgment’ against Hillary was Iraq. He was and is wrong, and screwed up the vote on General Casey to boot.

Obama is the most brazen liar I have ever seen, not an easy feat to accomplish as a politician. And he feels comfortable lying as much and as outrageously as he does because he knows the white guilt chumps in the MSM and the kinds that he gerrymandered his Chicago district to include will excuse ALL of his crap so that they can have, as Thomas Sowell explains it, their ‘mascot politics.’

Someone noted this above — the MSM isn’t going to report any of this. It is up to us, the ‘net and the GOP to hammer BaCaca on these issues, document all of his flip flops and get every last screen shot. His site has to be monitored for more of just this same thing.

This guy is a complete, utter farce. I have no idea why anyone takes him seriously. He is nothing but a punk hustler who is doing the same thing for many Bill Ayers types that he claimed Sidney Poitier did for his mom. It is a disgrace that he uses people like this, and that people allow and WELCOME being used this way.

We are better than this, and we will defeat this huckster.

There is actually a poll out today saying that 77% of people think BaJoke is a better kisser than McCain. I’m not making that up, and, surprise surprise, it was reported in an item buy like CNN business.com or something.

Take a good look in the mirror, America. And then watch Elmer Gantry Obama because he’s trying to steal your election like a traveling preacher pilfering people’s money.

So Obama wants to meet the troops. As Lindsay says Obama will tell them great work, but it doesn’t count for squat.

BWAAHAAAAAA!!!!!!

LOL LOL

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

__________________________
HILLARY WILL BE POTUS

but then nothing happened….and the Kool Aid dried up….

We were the one we waited for but didn’t show up because we lost our way.

Obama wished for Defeat and Retreat in Iraq.
His whole campaign was predicated on misery and humiliation of the United States.

McCain is the hero who saved Iraq for America!

At the Republican convention McCain will be hoisted up as the Man who cared about country before party and remained steadfast to all opposition and insured victory and democracy for the Iraqi’s.

Obama just sat on his hands at the state of the union wishing and hoping for defeat so that he could win the presidency.
Not my kind of guy!

Horrors and shades of New Yorker covers! You made me think of a desperate hope and change candidate outfitting himself in Hillary’s wardrobe.

Of course he is. He started with imitating Bush - getting annoited instead of elected. I bet he even tried getting into show business first, so he could be an actor, then president - like Reagan (his hero).

No matter what Obama says or does. He is playing in the big man’s backyard and he comes across as a kid trying to play dress up. The stress of knowing he’s just not up to the job and that everyone else is better equipped than he is — is starting to show.

The only people with the balls to stop this nightmare are people like you and me and the rest of the american voters who in november will just say NO to BHO.

I can picture him in Baghdad, yelling, Hello Jerusalem!

LOL LOL

BWAAHAAAAAAAAA

FROM HIS OWN SITE

From Nancy A :

This link is about Obama saying the troop surge hasn’t worked directly from his Campaign web site.

My cable system busted in with an emergency alert test. This is only at test…this is only a test

It came at a good time, I was getting annoyed by Obama.

By the way, notice how no one shows an entire McCain speech?

Poor Obama
The survival of the Western Civilized world depends on the US success in Iraq. hardly a distraction!

McCain has shown the superior judgment to win the Iraq war for America when everyone was fatigued and was prepared to cut and run.

I’m glad that we’re in Iraq and now have two countries Israel and Iraq who are uniquely allied with the United States in a region where World Resource Wars can take place.
Our position in Iraq keeps a check on Iranian Hegemony.
Our position in Iraq protects the Gulf States for free flow of oil to the Western World.
Our position in Iraq is leading to a free and democratic Iraq which is pro America.
Our position in Iraq prevents outside interference from countries such as Russia and China.
Our position in Iraq is destroying Alqueda ability to take control of a sovereign country
Our position in Iraq shows other dictatorships that America has balls and will protect the western worlds vital interests.

Thank you John McCain for showing us Leadership and not listening to opinion polls.

Everything he can’t explain or doesnt want to face up to is a distraction

Barack Distraction Obama - Working hard every day to take the focus off the real issues that we face.

Iraq is a distraction! Hillary is a distraction, the Denver Convention is a distraction! As a matter of fact, this whole democratic process has become a distraction! For the sake of national unity it is time for Barack to declare himself President of the United States of America and end this madness once and for all!

I think they are too busy screeching about the New Yorker cover to have noticed Obama slipped them under the bus, too.

Dave_Not_For_Obama I too am or was a Democrat and I want to see McCain pummel Obama. Its about Democracy and putting the best man in the toughest job.

Obama’s PRAYING something happens so he doesn’t have to go to IRAQ. He’s a scared baby.

katmandu — Obama is desperate. His numbers are down and people are beginning to wonder who in the hell this guy is. So he makes another speech–high on principle and short or substance to buy yet another positive news cycle. However, the American people are sick of looking at Obama’s face and listening to the phoney deep voice coming from what looks like a street kid. No matter how much the media promotes him–people can only take so much of this. If as Newton Minnow said in the early days of TV — The Media Is The Message then people are tuning Obama out–they got the message. His sizzle has begun to fizzle.

That’s what he said he would do. go there and asses and then have a plan. He wouldn’t lie, would he?

It’s called winning a war, not “improved security situation.” He just can’t bear to tell the truth - he was wrong, and his way would have led to a debilitating, dangerous defeat and ensuing chaos in the most volatile region in the world.

I suppose that’s a legitimate criticism.

Of course, I could argue that McCain is tipping his hand in the same dangerous fashion. He’s setting no limit to how long we’ll stay. I won’t mention his famous comment about that. We’ve all heard it.

McCain also tells the enemy something: If it’s their strategy to keep us involved in an horrendously expensive, asymetrical, multi-front war until we’re financially bled dry, they’re on the track to ultimate success, because we’re going to play along with their game plan.

We’re measuring our progress by what’s happening in Iraq; they’re measuring their progress by what’s happening to the U.S. economy.

That’s just a theory. But remember, they were never in a position to rain down mass destruction on scores of U.S. cities, or invade us with occupying armies. They have to bring us to ruin in a different way. They’ve got to get us to destroy ourselves. That’s what 9/11 was all about: To lure us into a self-destructive course of action.

How about being freaking honest and admitting you made a mistake about the surge? I seem to remember during the last SOTU Hillary stood up and applauded the surge while Obama sat on his hands with a frown.

Face it, he is not fit to be Commander in Chief.

Oblahblah “I was against the surge before I was for it.”

Mouse,

Get real, your post fails to address Obambi’s penchant for flip flopping and morphing into what ever he seems to think the people want to hear. It’s not just about Obambi’s flip flopping on the war, it’s a pattern of his,across the whole spectrum of debated issues and policy statements.

Where do I start, FISA ……………..

Please save the rest of us with your “Obambi talking points”, if I wanted to read that dribble I would visit the kool-aid website for the indoctrination.

Frick’in ObambiBots, I would love to reach my hand through my screen and rip out your forked tongue, then I would not have to wade through your absolute mind boggling crap!

Anyone running for president had the information prior to the primaries.

So the notion that this is a shift due to changing circumstances is foolishly ignoring that reality.

No, he just *winked* because progressives had a one-note-agenda: the war.

Bill told you it was a fairytale. He was correct, as usual.

Look, little Mouse. Changing positions because of changing situations and admitting why you are changing isn’t the same thing as changing your position on a daily basis because you don’t know what’s going on, but want to win and nothing else matters.

What a foaming mess you are. Lay off the bong water hon.

Who will never recover?

McCain is a protest vote.

If Obama wins, all it means is that while he fux up royally I get four years of smug smiles directed at all my creative class friends and won’t even have to say “I told you so.” They’ll all be, “damn! the bee-yatch was right again!”

It won’t be my fault if Obama is installed.

Fred,

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, you suck, lol.

Ain’t it the truth, Ann. She and Molly Ivens were amazing women and God rest both of their souls. Her second campaign for Governor was marked by the same misogyny Hillary has faced (though not on a national scale) and Bush won. It cuts so deeply though both parties and now the sexist pigs have done it again.

even tide wont help
