Obama: Bring our troops home vs. I don't know anyone saying 'bring out troops home'

This has to be one of the funniest clips I've seen yet. More proof that Obama is just too young at this point to be running a successful campaign. The video is here, but here's the transcript:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) OBAMA: And if George Bush doesn’t listen, then we’re going to make him listen because it’s time for us to bring our young people home.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GEORGE BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It can be tempting to look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude our best option is to pack up and go home. That may be satisfying in the short run, but I believe the consequences for American security would be devastating.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: Senator Obama, you disagree with that. He says it would be devastating to leave now. You say no.
Why not?
OBAMA: Well, first of all, I don’t know anybody who’s been talking about packing up and going home.

Just as I suspected, he explained what he meant later in the video. Most democrats plan is to bring some soldiers home and leave others there in a different role than they have today. Mainly to train Iraqi police and military and secure Iraqs borders, not stand on street corners and patrol the capital to regulate their civil war.

out of context, he was referring to the constant perception that dems are pushing for an immediate withdraw right now.

you know this as much as I do

"They" like to cling to the sound bite and never listen to the explanation. Then they proceed to be like "LA LA LA YOU SAAAID DIIIZZ LA LA LA"...behaving something similiar to borats sister taunting her retarded brother bilo with her vagina.
