Where is Obama on Iraq?

Read this. It kind of sounds like Obama is trying to delay the pulling troops out of Iraq until he can take office, that way he gets the credit for ending the Iraq war. If this is the case, he is proving himself to actually be a candidate of "more of the same," not change. These kind of tactics have been used many times throughout political and electorial history to better enhance the image of fake "advocate for change" politicians and in the end it is the citizens in general and the military in particular that tend reap the consequences.

If he really is an advocate for withdrawing the troops from, and ending our major influence over Iraq, he should be open to removing them as soon possible and not be concerned with how it will affect his political career.
