Credulity Watch

I fully understand that it has now become politically inexpedient for you to do what you promised on the campaign trail, but perhaps you should have thought of that before you opened your big mouth. And perhaps the American people might find it interesting to know what you were up to while you were telling them that Iraq wasn't the central front in the war on terror (a judgment al Qaeda seems not to agree with, to judge from their public statements); while you were criticizing the Bush administration for not providing sufficient medical care and armor for our troops? They might be interested in what you were doing while you were telling America Afghanistan and Pakistan were the priorities, and not Iraq.

It turns out Mr. Obama was one of only 14 Senators (10 Democrats, 3 Republicans, 1 Independent) who were busy trying to cut off funding for the very things he said he'd do we if elected him.
