Maliki of Iraq thinks Obama has the right idea
Because he, better than most, understands what Our Dear Embattled Leader means when he babbles about time horizons. Yes, Maliki of Iraq, ODEL's BFF in Baghdad thinks 16 months should be more than enough time to get US troops out of Iraq.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki supports US presidential candidate Barack Obama's plan to withdraw US troops from Iraq within 16 months. When asked in and interview with SPIEGEL when he thinks US troops should leave Iraq, Maliki responded "as soon as possible, as far as we are concerned." He then continued: "US presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes."And in a well delivered smack to the Old Fart.
"Those who operate on the premise of short time periods in Iraq today are being more realistic. Artificially prolonging the tenure of US troops in Iraq would cause problems."This is not to be construed as an endorsement of Obama, but he is M of I and he approved this message.
