Video Script:
Obama: My assessment is that the surge has not worked.
Obama: I would end this war, and I would have our troops out within 16 months.
Obama: I will immediately begin to remove our troops.
Murtha: I think the surge is working.
Lieberman: The surge is working.
Clinton: We've begun to change tactics in Iraq, and in some areas, particularly in Al Anbar Province, it's working.
Gibbs: The security situation has improved, much as everybody admitted it would if we put more troops on the ground.
Axelrod: I mean, he never disputed the fact that if you throw a surge of American soldiers in an area that you can make a difference.
Obama: I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is gonna solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.
Reporter: You did not refer to the 16 month timetable. Does that mean you can tell us today that you will not change the 16 month timetable?
Obama: (smiles and breathes) Uh... I... (scratches head)

  • Awesome, tapes and video don't lie. The guy is a classic politician, says what he thinks people want to hear and routinely changes his veiws to fit the political and economic winds. The man is the worst kind of politican and he lies like no other. I love how he was caught in his lies and then didn't know how to answer the question. With a written text to read he's a bumbbling idiot. Comrade Obama will ruin this country with his double speak and socialist values.

  • Typical politician....

    I don't SEE "CHANGE"...

    i just see him playing a tune that the masses will dance to...

    like Reverend Wright said when Obama was forced to "reject" him...

  • JUST ADMIT IT OBAMA, THE SURGE IS WORKING!

    We need REAl Leadership and reform. McCain/Palin 08

    God Bless the Troops!

  • You got that right! It's a change that will work for him...not this country. He's to busy trying to improve his career...not this country. Vote McCain!!!!

  • i say if they take our troops out of iraq then they will just come over here and start attacking us. i mean it would be nice to see out troops at home and to have them back

    but they are there fighting for there country

    but with our states security at stake i say we cant just take them out with out a clear ok that our country's security isnt at comprimised.
