In the debate he says that we are spending billions on missile defense and that we need missile defense. In the advertisement he says that he will cut investments on unproven missile defense systems and that he will not weaponize space. Where's the implied contradiction? Don't we already have an arsenal? Do we need more?Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269232626785115413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862751130582500985.post-20676243580199818122008-10-06T21:35:00.000-05:002008-10-06T21:35:00.000-05:00I think Obama is capable of both learning and chan...I think Obama is capable of both learning and changing his mind (which I respect) and saying anything for political gain (which would be unremarkable but for his "new politics" campaign).

Of course the man has been talking, everyday all day, for over a year on this campaign trail, so cutting him some slack isn’t out of line. <BR/>In any case, the fact that this “flip-flop” is about missile defense is likely not a coincidence.
