WAFFLING ON IRAQ: “Barack Obama appeared on 60 Minutes last night, and once again he offered change. Unfortunately, the kind of change offered appeared to be the same he accuses his opponents of offering — waffling on the status of troops in Iraq. After cheerfully misrepresenting John McCain’s ‘100 years’ comment, he then left himself the leeway to make exactly the same kind of decision.”

I’m all in favor of him shifting his position in this direction — it shows that, unlike Nancy Pelosi, he’s not in complete denial about progress in Iraq — but it does kind of undercut the notion that he offers a “new kind of politics.” Waffling and flipflops we’ve seen before . . . .
