Obama Flip-Flopping On Iraq?

It seems that Barack Obama may be flip-flopping on his stance on Iraq. In the last few years, Obama has changed his word on what he will do in terms of troop withdrawal in Iraq.

In the time period of 2004 to 2005, Obama said he “was open to additional troops to stabilize the situation in Iraq and he was opposed to a deadline for withdrawal or cutting off funds for troops in the field.”

However, in January of last year the Illinois Senator stated he “opposed the announced surge and later in the year voted to cut off funding for troops”. Later in the same year, Obama then said he would “end the war and bring the troops home on his deadline.”

In April of 2008, Obama said it may take 16 months to 2 years to remove troops fully from Iraq. But lately Obama has left out the term “16 months” altogether from his speeches about Iraq.

This past week, it has been reported that Obama has always maintained it has been his intention to keep the safety of the troops and maintain stability in Iraq.

So, is Barack Obama flip-flopping on his stance in Iraq? I think there’s no doubt he is. The war is one issue that Obama has really driven home that separates him from McCain and one thing he feels so strongly about. But Obama keeps changing what he said so that if he gets elected he doesn’t have to withdraw troops right away, like he PROMISED. Another Obama meltdown.
