WHILE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SERVED HIMSELF...AND STILL DOES.

That's the headline over at The Caucus, where Jeff Zeleny reports Barack Obama dropped a not so subtle hint today in North Dakota that his fixed, 16-month timetable for pulling US troops out of Iraq beginning in January 2009 may in fact not be so fixed:
"I've always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed," he said. "And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I'm sure I'll have more information and will continue to refine my policies." [snip] "My 16-month timeline, if you examine everything that I've said, was always premised on making sure that our troops were safe," he said. "I said that based on the information that we had received from our commanders that one to two brigades a month could be pulled out safely, from a logistical perspective. My guiding approach continues to be that we've got to make sure that our troops are safe and that Iraq is stable."
He added, "I'm going to continue to gather information to find out whether those conditions still hold."
This is may not be a flip-flop by the technical definition of the term, but it certainly is a substantial walk back on perhaps the defining issue of the election that will draw fire from both the right and the left.
Indeed, the RNC has already reacted with a statement from Alex Conant:
"There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience. Obama's Iraq problem undermines the central premise of his candidacy and shows him to be a typical politician."

What a brave man! Considering that the SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) is being finalize right now and will render anything he has to say as meaningless.
Obama is a Clown Show for the Mentally Impaired.
That's so “inartful.”
Pass this on. It’s his Defense voting record...or basically lack thereof. (Lots and lots of NV “no vote” which means he blew it off or didn’t want it on his voting record knowing d@mn well these things are public record.)
If anyone takes a look at his voting record and his special interest group ratings, you can see how he feels about our military and about America. In my opinion, both are inextricably linked and should be in our CIC!
I can’t make it any more clear; his votes speak for themselves, no matter HOW he wants to spin them.
If you’re currently in the military, have a loved one in the military, are retired from the military (as am I) or are thinking of joining the military you’d better pray and pray hard that this jerk isn’t elected to run our Great Nation. You thought The Clinton Years were bad? I can’t begin to tell you the number of excellent, well-trained NCO & Junior Officer LEADERS we lost during those years from the Army alone.
And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

was he doing the “Moonwalk” across the stage when he said these things?
Put a fork in him, HE’S DONE!
Now go back to your little Chicago/IL senate play-pen and let the grown-ups continue to do their job.
Obama = CHANGE = FLIP-FLOP, FLIP-FLOP......FLIP-FLOP
My military career spans from September 1962 to December 2005. I recall the klinton years with disgust and if bho is elected and has his way, our military is gone. We will no longer be able to defend our Freedom, Honor and Country as terrorism will have a free reign to destroy our Democracy! -—Pray not just for our country, but pray for the free world or at least what is left of it.
"You can be sure there will never be any clear answers from Obama on any critical issue. He is quite comfortable taking positions that contradict each other. Sadly, his inconsistent and dishonest positions are perfectly acceptable to his Obamabot cult members, who blindly follow him."
Instead of the change candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, will be known as the Ooops Uh Flip-Flop Candidate, who couldn't tell the truth!
Quit your whining about my Flip Flops, Waffling and Lies, you God Loving, Gun owning and Bitter White Racist Patriots!
Here we go again. Now that it is working lets see, lets change our mind. What a FLIP-FLOPPER!~ Kerry was pennies to Obamas Dollars.
