The big story of the day is Barack Obama’s renewed call for refocusing on Afghanistan during a speech he made today in Washington, DC. He called for a “surge” of sorts in troops for Afghanistan, while reminding everyone of how he opposed the Iraq war and believes it should end.
First, check out Obama’s opinion piece in today’s NYT in which he wrote about where he supposedly stands on the issue of Iraq.
Are you listening, Senator Barry?
Beautiful.
And the fact that the ones not done by citizen journalists both come from the British media rather than our own mainstream media right here in the US should surprise no one.
First, there was the without-merit accusation that “… it looks like it’s the policy of our troops to do something like this” he made in response to the allegations that several Marines deliberately shot and killed 24 innocent civilians in Haditha in November 2005. This is a position he hasn’t backed down on, even though the charges against all seven of the eight Marines charged have been dismissed (Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich is expected to be court martialed in the fall).
