Pentagon sources told UPI, however, that the debate over the 16-month timetable is far from over. They said many senior Army officers believe Obama’s timetable is far too tight; they say it is unrealistic to withdraw the 140,000 or so U.S. troops still operating in Iraq, along with their equipment, without running the risk of letting Iran vastly increase its influence and power in Iraq, or facing a resurgence of al-Qaida and other insurgent groups, or both possible outcomes.
You’d think this clown could keep his intentions quiet until after the Iraqi elections
I don’t think Obama really cares what the general’s think. I think he is just as bullheaded as the Democrats in Congress in 1975 who pulled the plug on South Vietnam.
Blue Dog Democrats need to step up to the plate here and Pubblies need to get a spine on this issue. But will they?
