Obama the War-Monger
"I think that nobody wants to play chicken with our troops on the ground,'' said Obama. "I do think a majority of the Senate has now expressed the belief that we need to change course in Iraq.I hope the Left is listening. Barak Obama is "constrained" to funding the war in Iraq by the fact that the president will veto any suggested course change by Congress, and that he does not want the U.S. to "play chicken with our troops on the ground." This is political posturing par excellence. If Obama intends to garner the swing vote, he cannot risk appearing as Kucinich or Nader in being "really" opposed to the war. I guess being both "black" and "white" helps him to be both a "dove" and a "hawk."
"Obviously we're constrained by the fact that a commander in chief who also has veto power has the option of ignoring that position,'' Obama said.
Gary North chimes in on "Why Democrats Have Not Cut Off the War's Funding."
