Obama Lies About Own Statements on the Surge in Iraq

Did Barack Obama forget his own comments on the surge in Iraq or did he forget that he could get a reminder of them on Youtube.com? Appearently, he relies on his friends in the MSM to forget and to give him a free pass as they do so pretty reliably!

Thanks to Gateway Pundit & Powerline for finding these videos!

Below is a quote from a recent interview on the success of the surge in Iraq that you will see at the 6 minute section of this Youtube video:

“(snicker) What I said was even at the time of the debate of the surge, was if you put 30,000 troops in, of course it’s going to have an impact. There’s no doubt about that. The question is, does it solve our larger strategic questions and do the costs involved, uh, do they outweigh the benefits.”

Below is a quote and the video from an interview Barack Obama did on the surge in Iraq when it was proposed by President Bush:

“I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there in fact I think it will do the reverse. I think it takes pressuire off the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accommodation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution to the problems we face there. So I am going to actively oppose the president’s proposal… I think he is wrong.”

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, in a post over at the Stepping Right Up blog they found a picture that the Obama campaign released, below you will notice that Obama is shown with military personnel in Afghanistan, what few would show up anyways, you will notice that the line is barely 3 deep, but the more telling tale in the photo is how far Obama is standing from the military! Simply amazing! Enough said!
