You have to enlighten me on this one... I don't see the senior moment.

All I see in any of the links you provided, was a link to one of the links you provided and some opinions on what Obama said and the Huffington post was the only one that even did some follow up (surprisingly).

They asked the person that made the entry for a reason behind it... and this is what was said.

Michael Goldfarb responded: "Today he says 'never again.' A year ago stopping genocide wasn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces in Iraq. Doesn't that strike you as inconsistent?"

quote:

From the Huffingtonpost article you linked:

Moreover, on the topic of Iraq, Obama has said he would leave a residual force to intervene in potential humanitarian crises and that he reserves the right to intervene militarily with international partners in order to "suppress potential genocidal violence within Iraq."
"I'd love to know more about Obama's residual force," said Goldfarb, when asked about it. "How big is it, where is it based, what is its mission, how long will it remain in Iraq? Nobody knows the answers to those questions, and I'd encourage the Huffington Post to inquire further with the Obama campaign."

Where does any of this have to do with McCain having a senior moment?

You guys could take this act on the road....between the two of you I will probably know more about these two candidates than I care to...just kidding of course keep the information coming,though I think this one was a little lite on the senior moment aspect...if you just give McCain the time Owner he will supply the material,no need to work so hard for it
