Obama pulled a Kerry

Looks like Barrack Obama pulled a John Kerry this past week while speaking about our troops in Iraq. If you remember a few months ago, John Kerry made a statement referencing the lack of intelligence of our brave troops. He since apologized, claiming he was the victim of a botched joke attempt.

A New Hampshire reporter asked Mr. Obama whether he regretted the remark, made at a rally on Sunday that “we ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged, and to which we now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.”

“Even as I said it,” Mr. Obama said Monday, “I realized I had misspoken.”

“What I would say — and meant to say — is that their service hasn’t been honored,” Mr. Obama told reporters in Nashua, N.H.

The NY Times reported the incident on 2/13/2007.

U.S. Presents Evidence of Iranian Weapons in Iraq

They also presented evidence of Weapons of Mass Destruction, WMD, in Iraq didn't they? Call me skeptical of any evidence that comes from this White House. I can think of 3 possible scenarios regarding this information.

1. The Bush administration is trying to find a scapegoat for its problems in Iraq
2. This administration is looking for an excuse to attack Iran. Tensions between the countries have been ratcheted up by disagreements over Tehran’s nuclear program.
3. There really is a connection between Iran and the resurgences in Iraq and the U.S. does need to take action against Iran.

What do you think? Item 1, 2, or 3? If you vote for 3, I've got some prime land to sell you in the Florida swamps. :-)
