Sounds like a plan to this ex-Sergeant.
Unless you want a Hundred Years War with Iraq, Iran, and Iceland.
I thought this was a great op-ed. Very clarifying. Obama at his best.
What I want to hear the candidates talk about is what they plan to do about Pakistan. Our supposed "ally" has become home base for the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Top echelons in the Pakistan government tacitly support our sworn enemies and are providing a safe haven. So what the plan? This may be a more important threat than Shia Iraq, who are unlikely to help the Sunni "Kmher Rouge" that make up the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Well, nobody wants to admit we should nuke Pakistan, Wf.
Great rhetoric. Only the war is over and the occupation is ongoing. Will he fully redeploy all US troops? No. What is the timetable for? Redeploying many troops. How many? Not sure. To do what? It's kinda unclear. Maybe do more counter-insurgency in Afghanistan, with clandestine invasions of Pakistan? But that's ok. This appeals to what most Americans (and people around the world) want to hear, and it will make McCain look like an idiot, which he is.
As soon as we're gone the Iraqis will resort to their old ways of assasinations and dictatorship. Obama will be blamed and lose the White House. If he can win it in the first place that is.
We won't support ball-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!!
@7:
you seem to be a "troll" thingy. The % of ex HRC voters who support Obama is about 4x the % of those who don't, so you ain't clintonsarmy, you r a rebel splinter group that clinton disavows.
And I do too.
And denounce, too.
Pls. make a note of it.
PS: on the op ed: meh. Yes he's showing he's not changing his stance, yes it's a fine position, but it lacks that soaring unity type leadership that tells us what do we have to do to deal with the terror threat, it doesn't say btw we''ve gone totally batshit in an over-reaction to the terror threat, it doesn't say a lot of things, just we're going to leave and beef it up a bit in AFg.
Compared to his speeches, this is not so ..charismatic. I mean it's fine and everything but it's flat.
IMHO.
@6 - um, since the media won't be reporting on Iraq anymore, who will know?
No US soldiers, no media.
Just ask Tibet. Or Darfur.
