"Obama's stance on troops attacked
In its stepped-up assault on Barack Obama's character, John McCain's campaign is trying to use a remark Obama made about Afghanistan to paint the Democrat as not supporting US troops.
In a new national TV ad unveiled yesterday, the announcer says, "Who is Barack Obama?" Then the ad shows Obama saying that US troops in Afghanistan are "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians."
Oh, Obama, you DO KNOW!! Then WHY are you SUCH a WAR MONGER?!
Is it an ACT to get elected?
Are you going to give the finger to the ZIONIST CONTROLLERS when you assume the office of the president?
Better watch your back then, dude!!!!
"How dishonorable," the announcer says. "Congressional liberals voted repeatedly to cut off funding to our active troops. Increasing the risk on their lives. How dangerous. Obama and congressional liberals. Too risky for America."
The ad quotes only part of what Obama said as he talked to voters in August 2007 about his plans to send more troops to Afghanistan, which he calls a more important front in the war on terror than Iraq. He was criticizing US policy rather than the troops. "We've got to get the job done there, and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there," Obama said.
At the time, US and coalition forces were causing more civilian casualties than the insurgents.
At the time? It is ALWAYS, assholes!!!!!!
The ad also doesn't tell the complete story about Obama's votes on troop funding. While he voted against a 2007 spending bill because it did not include a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq, he subsequently voted for a version that did include a timetable. He has voted for at least 10 other war funding bills.
Might want to rethink the devotion to Obama, America. Hey, come with me and VOTE NADER!!!!!
Obama's campaign responded with a statement from retired admiral John B. Natham: "Senator Obama has consistently voted to fund our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and, just as importantly, a proven record of support when they return home. That's why independent veterans organizations give Senator Obama higher marks than Senator McCain (Boston Globe)."
Sigh.
Ready for some "NO-CHANGE" CHANGE, America?
