If Iraq falls to the Islamists, they’ll gain control of rhe entire ME. That will mean WW3.

Wrong country. Karzai is with Afghanistan.

I thought this was just following the Bush timetable established in 2008.
Was the general opposed then?

Not really, and I don't know.

There is a matter of how and not just when, as well.

An ordered withdrawal is required. Whether it is smart to withdraw isn't a military decision, but if active duty general officers in charge believe that particulars of this withdrawal are needlessly forcing a dangerous situtation for those in their charge, then they should resign in protest.

The quote comes from BHO’s “The Audacity of Hope”. I found it on page 309, though.
