Would someone please enlighten me as to how anyone can declare Obama correct about Iraq without laughing out loud? Here is a guy who introduced legislation back on January 30, 2007 that would have withdrawn all combat troops from Iraq to be completed by March 31, 2008. That computes out to 16 months. He has, to the best of my knowledge, not wavered from that number since. So, from where did this military genius pluck the number 16, and why, with all that has happened since January 30, 2007, has the number not been adjusted?
A stopped clock reads the correct time twice a day. The alleged agreement of Prime Minister Al Malaki to the 16 month withdrawal number is no more than a stopped clock coincidence. Six months ago when Oback was declaring a 16 month withdrawal, was he correct? NO. Was he correct 5 months ago, or 3 months ago, or 8 months ago or 4 months, 5 days, 13 minutes and 12 seconds ago? NO. Please deliver me from these pompous goofy liberal pundits who say that McCain, Malaki, and others are following Obama’s lead and endorsing his withdrawal timetable. The clock has been running ever since he introduced his irresponsible piece of legislation back in 2007, and he has been consistently wrong every moment since then, including right now. The time for withdrawal will come when the conditions on the ground and the political situation in Iraq dictate withdrawal, not when an inexperienced community organizer from south Chicago plucks a number from a place where the sun don’t shine.
