Even Clinton and Obama have given themselves an out for withdrawal if you really listened to what they say. They want the wiggle room to back away from their election year promises when they finally become privy to the rest of the story that even they don’t know at this point. |
I'll admit to my ignorance regarding the repercussions of an "immediate withdrawal". And I don't advocate such a withdrawl. My criticisms are of the events leading to the run up of the war and the poor decisisons made in response to the events. If you don't mind sharing, what do you think the repercussions will be?
Regarding Clinton, Obama, and McCain. Nothing they say during the campaign suprises me at all. I personally don't think the three of them tied together would make a good president, much less any one of them individually.
