Change? How About Changing This Ad?

I hardly ever watch network TV anymore. But I do love "Lost." As I was watching last night's episode, I saw Barack Obama's Washington State caucus 30-second ad on KXLY out of Spokane.

Towards the end of the ad, you hear Obama stating:

And I'll be a President who ends this war in Iraq and finally bring our troops home.

On the screen, we see first Obama with a soldier, then a homecoming scene. In that homcoming scene, (at about 0:26), notice the solider is wearing the 6-Color Desert Battle Dress Uniform, informally known as the "chocolate chip." That particular uniform was phased out around 1994. This means that the scene was probably shot during 1991 after Gulf War I. If anything demonstrates the Obama crowd's lack of military knowledge, this is it.

I'd like to see our troops come home too, but I would prefer it to be after they had finished the job like in Desert Storm versus some arbtitary deadline set by George Soros and MoveOn.org.

A Category F6 Exaggeration

There was little doubt that the Democrats would politicize another tragedy for their benefit like Hurricane Katrina. Already, Democratic Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is blaming the Iraq War for slowing the National Guard response to a deadly tornado that ripped through her state a few days ago.

But presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama got even more carried away.

In a fundraiser tonight in Richmond, VA, Obama stated:

In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died - an entire town destroyed

10,000? 12 people were killed by the tornado in Greensburg. There has never been a disaster in the history of the United States in which 10,000 people were killed. The largest loss of life occurred in 1900 when Galveston, Texas was destroyed by a hurricane and an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people died. I'm sure the Democrats would love to pin that on Bush too if that could.

Obama's statments come on the heels of his recent comparison of the Virginia Tech massacre with Don Imus and outsourcing.

Reminds me of the e-mail joke getting sent around these days:

Chelsea Clinton asked a soldier about his fears. He said there were only 3 things he was afraid of:

Osama,Obama and Yo Mama.
