Sen. Barack Obama has done it again. As noted yesterday, in an op-ed in the New York Times, Obama changed his explanation on his opposition to the surge.

The New York Times reports: BAGHDAD — American and Iraqi officials have completed nearly the last chapter in dismantling Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program with the removal of hundreds of tons of natural uranium from the country’s main nuclear site.
