Already weaseling

Obama isn't even elected yet but already he is sounding like someone who recognises that he must obfuscate and lie if he is to be president.

A lot of what he has said has been smoke and mirrors with a great dash of "see the difference" but now he has bought the nomination (don't ANYBODY dare tell me that the amount of money he was able to spend to get nominated had nothing to do with it!) he sounds just like water in a bath swishing around to find its level.

Here is the guy who was going to withdraw American troops from Iraq (and to hell with what might happen after that).

Now he is prevaricating saying that he will end the war but he would not be a good commander in chief if he ignored the factors on the ground.

THERE IS NO WAR IN IRAQ!

In Iraq there is the destructive presence of thousands of troops who have invaded the country being plagued by thousands of residents who do not want them there, do not appreciate the destruction that they have wrought and do not understand why the only things that the troops protect is the oil facilities.

These same residents also resent the loss of a unifying factor that had, at least, enabled them to know who the enemy was and to live a reasonably normal life and which they would, in the fullness of time, removed for themselves.

By simply reiterating "war in Iraq" Obama perpetuates the American myth that their troops are being sacrificed in the cause of democracy.

Democracy never came into it.

Childish bravado? Yes.

Support for a slogan spouting president? Yes.

The theft of Iraqi wealth? Yes.

An exercise in brutality and ignorance? Yes.

Proof that liars lead? Yes.

Sorry Mr. Obama. Your stock is starting to fall world wide as you begin to sound like every other American politician.

"Change?" - it is beginning to look like you don't know the meaning of the word.

Incidentally, does Mugabe mean anything to you?
