The New York Daily News reported:
Barack Obama’s campaign scrubbed his presidential Web site over the weekend to remove criticism of the U.S. troop “surge” in Iraq, the Daily News has learned. …
“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. …
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.
See for yourself. Obama’s (current) Iraq web page is here (by way of comparison and to show the Feds that this post isn’t about promoting the Obama campaign by virtue of linking only to the Obama campaign web site, here is presumptive opponent John McCain’s Iraq web page).
Here is the Internet Archive’s cache version of that same Obama campaign web page circa May 9, 2008.
John Maynard Keynes famously quipped that “When the facts change, I change my mind.” Apparently when the narrative changes, Obama changes his web site.
He hopes this is a change you can believe in.
