Not on purpose.. after looking at the link and the google search for those words, it's obviously the title of the USAToday article was what was "".
I expect the answer was in response to a question and that's why the title was created. Do you believe he did not feel that way about Iraq.
Here are the first two paragraphs including a quote that seemingly is responding to this question.
Quote:
SUNAPEE, N.H. (AP) — Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.
"Well, look, if that's the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now — where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife — which we haven't done," Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.

So although that wasn't a direct quote out of his mouth, it was an accurate article it appears. I stand by the flip-flop.
