Barack Lied, Hillary Died

Barack essentially admitted that he deliberately lied and mislead the American people during primary season. Remember, until yesterday, his official position was the blind withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Here's what his website no longer states as his position in Iraq:
Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.
and
Obama has a plan to immediately begin withdrawing our troops engaged in combat operations at a pace of one or two brigades every month, to be completed by the end of next year.
Now he has changed his policy to qualified withdrawal - he now says:
We can safely redeploy our combat brigades at a pace that would remove them in 16 months.
He doesn't even say he wants to, or that it's a priority. Just, "we can."

Then he makes the big confession. His prior plan was irresponsible. Unworkable. A lie.
We will make tactical adjustments as we implement this strategy - that is what any responsible Commander-in-Chief must do.
It's true. No responsible Commander in Chief, or possible one, would make this his official policy:
Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.
Never.

Barack Lied. Hillary Died.
