That is the number of days since Obama visited Iraq…and by my reckoning it has been 514 days since Obama called, on the floor of the United States Senate, for us to quit and have our last soldier out by 89 days ago…
You know, Senator, things do change and when change does happen, don’t you think a person’s views should be modified by the changed conditions?
Waaay back when, this was your story:
Obama’s First Day In Iraq Was January 7, 2006. “Anti-war U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s first day in Iraq did nothing to change his view that if the country’s various factions can’t achieve political peace, no amount of U.S. involvement will bring stability… [O]bama told reporters in a Saturday [January 7, 2006] conference call.” (Eric Krol, “Obama: ‘Everything’s Up For Grabs’ In Iraq ,” Chicago Daily Herald, 1/8/06)
But now its been some time and some things have happened, and this is the story:
“There Has, However, Been Major Progress This Spring On Two Fronts. Together They Give Reason For Hope That The Major Improvement In Security Resulting From The Surge Of American Forces May Endure Even As The Surge Itself Ends This July.” (Jason Campbell, Michael O’Hanlon and Amy Unikewicz, “The State of Iraq : An Update,” The New York Times, 6/22/08)
Geesh, what is a leftist Senator who has been pandering for leftwing votes to do?
