Mort, the American people made it clear in 2004 we do not want nuance in foreign policy.

I recall Obama previously saying that he would have all troops out of Iraq by the end of 2009, with a “quick reaction force” on standby (presumably in Kuwait, since all troops to be out of Iraq). Do I remember this wrong or is he flip-flopping?

Mort is too impressed with Obama’s political skills. We want substance, not gamesmanship!

Obama would declare the situation in Iraq "manageable" and drastically reduce American forces -- possibly, he suggested, to just 30,000.

Why 30,000, as opposed to 25,000 or 35,000? Why not 15,000 or 45,000? Where does this number come from?

He evidently agrees that the situation is "manageable", but it is manageable with Petraeus at the helm, with the troop numbers Petraeus has demanded, with a president who is backing him up all the way, whatever happens. Is it still manageable with some cypher in command of a rump force that could be withdrawn in the wake of some ugly Mogadishu-style video report? Is it still manageable when your friends and enemies both know full well your rump force may be pulled out upon a moment's bad news?

LOL, wow, what a surprise that an article is written praising Hussein for saying nothing.

Actually Obama misspoke during the hearings. When speaking about the influence of Iran on Iraq, he accidently said Iraq instead of Iran - - just as he accused McCain of doing.

I’ve been listening to the unabridged book on CD version of “Write This After I’m Gone” — Jerry Ford didn’t see eye to eye with Ronald Reagan, but in 1980 campaigned for him, pointing out that four more years of Carter would be a disaster.

Can Republicans Win On Iraq?
