POWDER SPRINGS, Ga., July 8 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., responding to charges of flip-flopping on the matter, Tuesday restated his commitment to ending the war in Iraq.

During a town hall meeting in Powder Springs, Ga., Obama said, "Don't be confused: I will bring the Iraq war to a close when I'm president of the United States of America", The Hill reported.

Obama said some of those who argue that he has changed his position or moved closer to a more centrist stance on U.S. combat troops in Iraq and other issues "apparently haven't been listening to me."

"Everybody has become so cynical about politics that the assumption is you must be doing everything for political reasons", he said. "And the message I want to send to everybody is: You're not going to agree with me on 100 percent of what I think, but don't assume that, if I don't agree with you on something, that it must be because I'm doing that politically. I may just disagree with you."
