From her syndicated column:
The starting point of his discussion on the troops in Iraq began with the letter "w" and ended with "-asted."
"Even as I said it," Obama claims, "I realized I had misspoken."
So what, one wonders, prevented him from immediately correcting himself there on stage, as thousands cheered the term he now says he immediately regretted?
Words fail.
Here's Craig Crawford of the New York Times' take:
Immediately following his off-the-cuff remark during an Iowa town hall meeting — and after huddling with horrified aides — the Illinois Democrat told the Des Moines Register that he regretted his choice of words, and wished he had instead said “their sacrifices are never wasted.”
You be the judge on what Obama really meant.
