Obama sys surge success due to dem"s- I'm not kidding!

[kaydee457 13]

Reaching a new low of faux, Barack Obama at last night’s Democrat debate in New Hampshire claimed that the Anbar Awakening is due to fears among Sunnis that Democrats might get their way and stage a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq.

Lorie Byrd picked up on this:

(Debate moderator Gibson)

He asked the candidates if they were wrong to oppose the surge.

Predictably they all said the surge is a failure because there has not been political progress made.

Obama said that much of the progress that has been made was due to agreements made between the tribes in the Anbar Province and that those were made (not because of the surge, but) because those in Iraq saw the Democrats win back the Congress in 2006 and decided they would be pulling the troops out so they had to step up.

MORE PERSPECTIVE:

Robert Caldwell, editor of the Insight Sunday opinion section of the San Diego Union-Tribune, adds “Obama in perspective.” Aside from untruthfulness,

For a candidate aspiring to the toughest, most important job in the world, shouldn't experience count for something?

Foreign policy and national security are a president's top responsibilities, especially in time of war. Obama is devoid of experience in either field. His gaffes – threatening to invade Pakistan, offering prompt negotiations with anti-American despots – bespeak his amateur standing on matters vital to the safety and security of the American people.

Obama's inconsistency on Iraq is amply documented. He's been alternately for and against withholding funding for the troops, for and against setting timelines for withdrawal, and for and against a quick retreat from Iraq.

Whatever one's views on Iraq strategy and homefront support, these vacillations on a war in progress don't inspire confidence; in Obama's judgment, his grasp of Iraq realities and his constancy of purpose. Whatever this is, it isn't leadership.

All of this betrays Obama's lack of experience; a glaring deficiency that should be raising profound questions about his qualifications and fitness, at least now, for the presidency....

Cataloguing the doubts about Obama isn't nitpicking or partisanship. It's the sort of scrutiny every presidential candidate should get. This is information that every voter deserves, and should want before making fateful decisions about this country's future.

Hey, bring this guy on....Is this really a viable US Presidential candidate? Well, the good news is that he's invalidating Hillary......

My condolences to the democrats- AGAIN- this time around......Wow, you clearly have some WINNERS!!!!

Dunno - its not particularly scandalous IMO. In fact I've heard that opinion elsewhere - whether its true or not is another matter, but rather difficult to qualify IMO.
