Yeah and Obama looks real great by funding every appropriations for the war since he got into the senate.

No word today about the caving in to the Repubs.  I thought he was getting Repubs to join the Dems, not the other way around.  He certainly is effective getting 16 Repubs in a very peculiar way.  First have the Dems vote with Repubs to give Bush everything he wants.  

Obama said the other day

"Tomorrow, I expect cloture votes on two other proposals. One is the Reid-Feingold plan, which would begin a withdrawal of troops in 120 days and end all combat operations on April 1. The other is Senator Levin's proposal, which would create standards and benchmarks for additional funding."

"I will support both, not because I believe either is the best answer, but because I want to send a strong statement to the Iraqi government, the President and my Republican colleagues that it's long past time to change course."

"Meanwhile, I'll continue to press for my own plan, and work to find the 16 votes in the Senate to pass it with a veto-proof majority and bring our troops home quickly, safely and responsibly."

Obama was right 5 years ago and wrong ever since.  Edwards voted against $87B appropriations while in the senate in 2003 in.

I will vote against the president's request for $87 billion for Iraq. The troops in Iraq deserve our absolute support, but this president does not deserve our blind trust. I believe we have a responsibility to support our troops in Iraq. I believe we have a responsibility to help rebuild Iraq.

But our troops will not be safe and this mission will not succeed until this president does three things: first, put forward a credible plan for the rebuilding and self-governing of Iraq; second, engage our allies in a meaningful way; third, take steps to assure the American people that the rebuilding of Iraq will not be exploited as a means to give insider sweetheart deals to Bush's friends.

It is clear to me that President Bush is not going to change direction unless someone stands up to him and says 'no.' For that reason, I plan to vote against the president's request for $87 billion for Iraq.

President Bush has ignored the warnings and advice from our allies and members of Congress, including leaders in his own party. Because of his unwillingness to engage and listen to others, he has failed to create the kind of international coalition that can succeed in Iraq, the American people are called on to shoulder more and more of the financial burden of this mission, and too many Americans have lost their lives.

Obama hasn't voted against funding the war yet.  

I don't think Obama has a whole lot of credibility any more.  Edwards is speaking up. Obama is silent.

just simply compare the 2002 speaches in an ad that's it.

Every single one of the big 3 will make it to Feb 5. They've already more money now then the frontrunner normally has around that time. By January their campaign warchests are going to be big enough to be able to stay afloat for months.
