President Obama confuses Afghanistan with Iraq
Quote:From Politico:
Hit with a tough question about his administration’s policy in Afghanistan and Iraq on Thursday, President Obama made a muddled mess out of his plans for withdrawing troops from the region.
Obama swapped “Iraq” for “Afghanistan” when he answered a question on YouTube about whether he still believes soldiers need to die in the wars there.
“As I said, we will be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year,” Obama said, a fairly significant misstatement of his administration’s Afghanistan policy, which doesn’t call for a troop withdrawal until 2014. The misstep was picked up by the Future of Capitalism blog.
“We’ll have a relationship with Iraq in the same way we have relationships with many countries around the world,” Obama continued, correcting himself.
The YouTube moderator interjected, in an effort to clarify Obama’s statement. “So out of Afghanistan, as in ...”
Future of Capitalism points out that Obama's gaffe comes at 21:39 in the video.
President Obama declares, "As I said, we will be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year." Then he declares, "Combat operations in Afghanistan have ended."
The brilliant Obama had some problems with his brilliance during an online interview by YouTube.

As long as there are teleprompters, we will never know if Obama actually has a brain.
