Sen. McCain has put up a video of Sen. Obama’s multiple contradictory statements about the war in Iraq.

I don’t plan to debate details but rather just want to point out that, whether or not beginning the war was just, we now have a responsibility to help them establish a good government and peaceful nation, which we have had significant success in doing in the past year or two.

The course that we should take should be reasoned through and wisely decided; Sen. Obama, as you can watch in the video, clearly contradicts himself flatly multiple times on the Iraq war; it seems clear that he has been changing his positions for political expedience and doesn’t have firm reasons that would support a steady position.

A brief example is the first section of the video where multiple clips are shown of him saying that the surge would not work, then later, after it worked, saying that he knew it would work all the time and had always said so.  It’s okay to change your position and admit that you have come to believe that you were incorrect and explain why you changed but acting like you never made a mistake and reversed your position is something that seems all too common in our American politics, both Republican and Democrat.
