Here is what he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIn 2002 I said we should focus on finishing the fight against Osama Bin Laden. Throughout this campaign I\u2019ve argued that we need more troops and more resources to win the war in Iraq.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No he didn\u2019t!  Did he just say \u201cmore troops and more resources to win the war in Iraq\u201d?  Why yes he did.<\/p>\n<p>I know that his position on Iraq has evolved considerably:<br \/>\na. The war is lost, immediate withdrawal of all troops<br \/>\nb. Avoiding genocide is a not a good reason to stay in Iraq<br \/>\nc. The Surge will not work, in fact it will make things worse<br \/>\nd. Start withdrawal immediately; two combat brigades a month<\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t recall Senator Obama ever demanding more troops with the intent to \u201cWIN\u201d in Iraq.  In fact he has built his entire meteoric rise in the morally bankrupt Democrat Party by being a bigger surrender monkey than the rest of the Socialists.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the media has blindly fallen in line and refused to point out his many different and conflicting positions, particularly when it comes to the military.  It is apparent that the young senator doesn\u2019t know jack-shit about anything military.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean that he likes to act like he knows something.  Obama writing in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.org\/20070701faessay86401\/barack-obama\/renewing-american-leadership.html\">Foreign Affairs <\/a>in July\/August 2007:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We should expand our ground forces by adding 65,000 soldiers to the army and 27,000 marines. Bolstering these forces is about more than meeting quotas. We must recruit the very best and invest in their capacity to succeed. That means providing our servicemen and servicewomen with first-rate equipment, armor, incentives, and training &#8212; including in foreign languages and other critical skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t sound so bad until you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M0du8wMLzEY\">watch this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/M0du8wMLzEY\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/M0du8wMLzEY\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>He proclaims that he will cut billions of dollars worth of \u201cneedless\u201d defense spending including \u201cI will slow the development of future combat systems\u201d.
