First the Iraqi government gave Senator Barack Obama a boost by seeming to embrace his proposal for a 16-month timetable for withdrawing American troops from Iraq. But could Senator John McCain, who built his candidacy in large part on his opposition to a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, possibly be following suit?
I think its a pretty good timetable, Mr. McCain said Friday in an interview on CNNs The Situation Room, before adding that it should be based on the conditions on the ground.
For months Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, has railed against setting timetables for withdrawing from Iraq, and has criticized Mr. Obama, his Democratic rival, for suggesting one.

It appears the only thing John won’t change his mind on is Amnesty...YES, what he wants is Amnesty, no matter what his minions call it. Reminds me of the left calling abortion ‘choice’.
A rose is a rose.....
Why isn’t anyone listening to the people who actually know what they’re talking about?
It’s not logistically feasible.

Actually it was all one sentance, the NYT split it up
It may be a blip amongst those who are political addicts, but other than that, it is nothing.
By the way, I don’t think it is physically doable in 16mo.
They do what they do. We are hip to all that.
My point is why does McCain even go there? It’s like he’s shoring up Obama’s ever evaporating credibility.
It’s not. See links in post 4.

Wait till the ad comes out. McCain is an idiot.
Looks like a John Kerry moment.
I don’t think McCain is an idiot. I just don’t think he wants to win.
Evidently he’s not.
He should not even be using the word “timetable”. The MSM has made that a Dem codeword.
He is so flawed.
I'll say. He voted against the timetable before he voted for it.
I don’t see the big deal, except that the msm is going to run with it. He can’t lett himself get cornered by the likes of Wolf Blitzer.
When the troops come home, the dems will get credit no matter when it happens.
Now, there is a misunderstatement if I ever saw one!
