The New York Daily News catches the Ministry of Truth at the Obama Campaign scrubbing his website of criticism of the troop "surge" in Iraq, which Obama had once considered a "problem" that hadn't reduced violence:
The presumed Democratic nominee replaced his Iraq issue Web page, which had described the surge as a "problem" that had barely reduced violence.
"The surge is not working," Obama's old plan stated, citing a lack of Iraqi political cooperation but crediting Sunni sheiks - not U.S. military muscle - for quelling violence in Anbar Province.
The News reported Sunday that insurgent attacks have fallen to the fewest since March 2004.
Obama's campaign posted a new Iraq plan Sunday night, which cites an "improved security situation" paid for with the blood of U.S. troops since the surge began in February 2007. It praises G.I.s' "hard work, improved counterinsurgency tactics and enormous sacrifice."
The Associated Press has also taken notice. Buttressed with Obama's dishonest New York Times op-ed from yesterday, its little wonder that a majority of Americans feel that Obama tells people what he thinks they want to hear, or adopts "Change" when it fits current events.
