By 2010 per CNN. This will remove the issue of Iraq from NObama's corner and place it back on the table. :spock:
FTR, I believe this action is HIGHLY political in nature and meant to help John McCain. I would not be surprised if it's done before the election to help him and then some how 'adjusted' after the election if he wins.
Point two, watch how DEMS squawk that this is only political in nature and meant to derail NObama. ROFL

Actually, if they say 2010 is the total withdrawal date (minus the forces necessary to protect our Vatican-sized embassy), then Obama was right all along.
To paraphrase Donger:
Obama said he wanted troops out by 2010. We're getting our troops out by 2010. That makes Obama right, and McCain wrong.
Now I think that's a simplistic way of breaking it down, but the inherent logic in that's still intact.

Huh? I only took issue with Barack Hussein's removal of "immediate" from his website.

I was just paraphrasing the simplistic way you've broken things down in previous threads, that's all.

Yes, logic is simple.

Obama wanted them out by 2010 regardless of the situation. McCain want them out when the Iraqis are equipped to govern themselves. The military is now estimating that this might be achieved by 2010.

Al Sadr has also said that if the US doesn't agree to a timetable for withdrawal then the ceasefire is off.

I don't know how braindead you'd have to be to think that Iraq being off the table works to McCain's benefit, particularly when it would be perceived that Obama's plan did the trick.
The people who were going to vote for Obama because his war stance aren't going to switch to McCain. What, are they gonna vote for McCain now because of his economic policies? LMAO
It's more likely that independents who were supporting McCain because of the war would switch to Obama.
FTR, I believe this action is HIGHLY political in nature and meant to help John McCain. I would not be surprised if it's done before the election to help him and then some how 'adjusted' after the election if he wins.

WTF?
Did you just try to preemptively bash the Dems for saying the very thing you just said yourself?

I see you still haven't found that, just right, avatar of Obama yet. I can't wait, I'll bet it will be devilishly funny.
you better find something other than that Bush one, seeing as you more and more support his polices.
