Obama makes a BIG point of his stump speech that HE OPPOSED the Iraq War from the start.
This might be a Big Deal in the dem primaries but it means BUPKUS in the general.
ESPECIALLY if it's clear we've WON by then. Then, it'll be as meaningful as him taking a stand against the Vietnam War.
SOMEONE HAS TO PIN HIM DOWN ON HIS ADVISORS ZBIG AND MALLEY - AND THEIR AGREEMENT WITH MEARSHEIMER AND WALT RE: ISRAEL LOBBY - AND HOW IT'S CONNECTED OR NOT TO THE IRAQ WAR.
The leftist base Obama is appealing to believe in thew Israel Lobby and that we went to war for Israel - as Cindy Sheehan and many other anti-Iraq War activists have said; "it's the neocons" to them.
Obama must be forced to agree or disagree.
DEDICATED TO EXPOSING DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA AND TO PROMOTING UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS - WITH SHARP ANALYSIS AND BLUNT COMMENTARY. NO ADS. NO TIP-JAR. JUST THE TRUTH.

If you go to Obama's website, you can check his various public positions on the issues.
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/
This is his stated position on Israel:
Ensure a Strong U.S.-Israel Partnership: Barack Obama strongly supports the U.S.-Israel relationship, believes that our first and incontrovertible commitment in the Middle East must be to the security of Israel, America's strongest ally in the Middle East. Obama supports this closeness, stating that that the United States would never distance itself from Israel.
Support Israel's Right to Self Defense: During the July 2006 Lebanon war, Barack Obama stood up strongly for Israel's right to defend itself from Hezbollah raids and rocket attacks, cosponsoring a Senate resolution against Iran and Syria's involvement in the war, and insisting that Israel should not be pressured into a ceasefire that did not deal with the threat of Hezbollah missiles. He believes strongly in Israel's right to protect its citizens.
Support Foreign Assistance to Israel: Barack Obama has consistently supported foreign assistance to Israel. He defends and supports the annual foreign aid package that involves both military and economic assistance to Israel and has advocated increased foreign aid budgets to ensure that these funding priorities are met. He has called for continuing U.S. cooperation with Israel in the development of missile defense systems.
