Obama Flips then Flops on Iraq

John McCain made what I call a historical challenge to Obama a few months ago when he challenged him to visit Iraq and see for himself the good things that our soldiers have done for the people and nation of Iraq over the last few years.

For years Barack has stood strong in declaring this battle worthless and demeaning our troops there by not supporting them and broadcasting his belief that we have failed. Of course, Obama, to you America is a failure so why should we expect anything less?

This week however, Mr. Obama has suddenly changed his tune, AFTER visiting Iraq and getting a first hand glance at just how good the Iraq war has really been going.

From Foxnews.com: Unequivocal opposition to the Iraq war drove Obama’s entrance into the presidential race. It helped him defeat Hillary Clinton for the nomination. It made him a darling of the anti-war activists who are now prominent and influential in the Democratic Party. He repeatedly said during the primary that he would end the war in 2009, and that he would withdraw all U.S. brigades from Iraq within 16 months of taking office.

Now he has flipped and nearly admitted he was wrong.

“It is a flip-flop,” Republican strategist Angela McGlowan told FOX News. “He’s changing his tune to be more attractive to the whole country, and I think he’s going to flip-flop on more things.”

Barack spent the 4th of July defending himself in various media conferences trying to control the spin.

And this is the guy people foam at the mouth over to "change" the best country in the world and lead us?
