In the past few days, Barack Obama has been trying to alter the reality of international developments to the benefit of his political campaign. Please find below the key Obama myths from this week.

MYTH: Barack Obama Claims People Have Adopted His Unconditional Timetable For Withdrawal From Iraq

FACT: John McCain, our military commanders and the Iraqi government agree that our troops should come home based upon conditions on the ground – not the unconditional timetable Barack Obama supports. Unlike Barack Obama, John McCain believes our troops should come home with honor and victory. Barack Obama’s support for an unconditional timetable has led to an “open disagreement” with our military commanders. Even Iraqi leaders believe our troops should leave depending upon conditions on the ground. The only one advocating an arbitrary, unconditional timetable is Barack Obama. Everyone but Barack Obama agrees that a withdrawal dictated purely by politics invites chaos and the possibility that our troops would have to return.

“Whites” versus “blacks”…

July 3rd, 2008 admin Comments off

not Americans or citizens,

In other words: While the two women are about equally liked, Michelle Obama is twice as disliked as Cindy McCain.

“Cindy seems like she’s laid back and not trying to run her husband,” said Linda Kaiser, 60, a Republican and church secretary from Clairton, Pa. “It’s nice to have a brain, but they should let their husband be president.”

Whites have an unfavorable view of Michelle Obama by 18 percentage points, while eight in 10 blacks like her. That is reminiscent of how Barack Obama fared in the Democratic primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In the AP-Yahoo News poll, whites saw Cindy McCain positively by 17 points, while one in eight blacks like her.

BBC’s interview with John McCain’s torturer from Vietnam.

June 23rd, 2008 admin Comments off

John McCain is my “friend” says ex-torturer from “Hanoi Hilton.” Pay attention how BBC is trying to push the “McCain is lying” line.

McCain has since described enduring months of solitary confinement and systematic torture which drove him to try to kill himself.

“I don’t know how he’d react if he met me again,” said Mr Duyet, flicking through old black and white photographs of himself and his American prisoners at Hua Lo.

“But I can confirm to you that we never tortured him. We never tortured any prisoners.”

Yeah, right you never did, you kept them as your very welcomed “guests”. Next, in case if you did not get it BBC is trying to chew it up for you and asks again, just to make sure that you get the point.

So is Mr Duyet implying that that Senator McCain lied about his treatment at the Hanoi Hilton?

“He did not tell the truth,” he says.

“But I can somehow sympathise with him. He lies to American voters in order to get their support for his presidential election.”

But Mr Duyet’s propaganda-perfect version of events is impossible to verify – and should be treated with caution in a country where the Communist authorities still keep a tight control over the media.

McCain’s new ad. Ahmadijemad and Obama.

June 18th, 2008 admin Comments off

Was checking Red State Update: videos at youtube when an ad showed up with Iran’s thug in chief picture next to Obama’s. The ad says;

“Is it OK to Unconditionally meet with Anti-American foreign leaders?  YES / NO”

First i thought that some organization is running a new poll but then noticed at the bottom it says; “Paid for by John McCain 2008″.

Here is the screenshot.

McCain ad Obama
