Axelrod on Obama's Iraq Policy: "He's Been Very Consistent"

[Verified1]

Obama doesn't have to walk on Iraqi soil to figure out what is going on there. McCain went but he still hasn't got it figured out. He thought everything was peachy, since he was surrounded on the ground and in the air by a mini-army during his brief visit. Why isn't McCain planning meaningful visits to potential allies in Europe and the Mideast region as Obama is going to do? Does McCain want to sightsee or actually solve the conflict?

[Verified1]

CNN does little these days but parrot McCain talking points and then claim they have the best political team on television. If that were the case, why would they have to say it so often? If you believe they are the best then you really aren't paying attention.

If Barak said he was going to keep pouring trillions of dollars and thousands of gallons of American blood into Iraq for 100 years like McCain promised HIS voters, THEN you could say Obama flip-flopped.

[ngarey]

Obama seems very competent on Iraq he said something like 'I want to be as careful in getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in'

We NEED this man in the oval office :)

Sources?

You again? What is your agenda on a guy who has been dead for 1400 years? Isolated examples and suddenly people are gonna take to the streets with torches and pitchforks? You are a piece of work.

What does Muhammad and Obama have to do with each other? What good do your rants have online, when you could easily go into a mosque and tell how you feel?

[lamouchemorte]

That's funny. I do not even have to insult you.

Thanks for the entertainment.

[dogstar7]

Just as graphically appealing as I remembered you, too.

What a sick mind. Tsk tsk...

[dogstar7]

Like a cur returning to lap up it's own vomit.

Jeff2, eh?

I should have guessed.

The Mohammed spelling gave you away.

Just as popular here, I see.

Still turning $5 punk-tricks for sailors at Newport News?

"To the best of my knowledge..."

"John, with all due respect, on this your knowledge doesn't extend far enough..."

Oh, snap! Great come-back!

I gotta remember that one.

[dogstar7]

Oh goody! Homophobia, too!

You win the Asinine Trifecta!

Thanks for putting yourself on exhibit, starfletcher.

We've all had a good laugh at your expense.

[mfdslaughterhouse]

Has Senator Obama "always said" these things? I'm not saying he didn't, but I'm just asking if he did.

[jtilak]

the media is so easily manipulated by the right its disgusting. obama has been consistent on this issue.

[dogstar7]

More bad mouthing and name calling from the Freepers.

"opened his mouth..." ??? Crypto-racist: read 'uppity'.

"Pierre" ??? A smear on France? Come on, really?

"spit on troops" ??? That old saw? You gotta be kidding.

You ditto-heads gotta get new jingo-jingle writers. That's simply pathetic. LOL!

[lamouchemorte]

Shhhhh... they are trying just as hard to preach the propaganda as their Republican buddies. Destroying the middle class takes team work and when you call out the ditto heads, they have a harder time getting their message out. Please do not spoil their fun.

[myha16]

Ouch...That's telling him David. CNN needs to do its homework, it pays to be informed.

[jojojuggernaut]

Will the situation on the ground be the same when Obama takes office?

[jojojuggernaut]

Exactly.McCain's plan has been what it always has been..Stay the course, don't change tactics or strategy. Let's stay for 100 years...

[cobwebhead]

Obama's been using the "commanders on the ground" proviso for quite a while (ie: /watch?v=zYBaiXQoI5Q). The question is, will he pull a W and fire commanders who disagree with him?

[bossmanfreak]

john got owned i guess obama camp is getting tired by msm always getting their message wrong and being tougher on them than mcsame camp....
