Does anyone have the video of the debate where Obama said he would not take a preemptive strike on Iran off the table?

Thanks in advance.

damn....that was Obama on Iraq and the Republicans on Iran. Thanks for looking though. I have a group of Obama fans who don't believe that Obama said that he wouldn't take a nuclear preemptive strike against Iran off the table. "Show me the video, and then we'll talk" is where we are right now.

However, I think I will use your video anyway in the meantime....because as I recall, they didn't believe that he wouldn't bring our troops home in the near future either.

Oops, sorry. I just looked through my other footage and I don't happen to have the piece you need. Glad to hear you'll get some use from the other one though.

I couldn't find anything of Obama actually saying "all options are on the table" but Kucinich brought it up during the first debate and Obama never denies saying it: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=834164463440597086&hl=en.

It starts at 1:23:11. Kucinich and Gravel go give it to him.

Notice how Obama says "it would be a profound mistake to initiate a war with Iran" but then he immediately states the exact same reasons that the neocons use to describe why Iran "is a profound security threat for America." :rolleyes:

I think that just might work. Thank you so much.

Thanks in advance.

Here's the one where he doesnt commit to taking troops out. I think that later in the debate they discuss preemptively nuking Iran, lemme find it.

In that same debate, most of the Dems agreed that "Supporting Isreal's military is a fundamental tenant of US foreign policy"

It's a great debate for picking out scary bullshit.

at 0:58 the question is asked again by Russert b/c Obama tried to weasle out of the question.
