Predictable: Obama Says He’ll “Refine” His Iraq Policy After Visit
Most people (with the exception of the rabid far-left) knew Barack Obama was going to temper his views on Iraq sooner or later. All the ridiculous anti-war rhetoric was fine during the primary to get the far-left stirred up in to a frothy rage, but now it’s general election time and Barack Obama is back in the real world.
Barack Obama signaled today that his rigid 16-month timetable for withdrawal in Iraq may need to be “refined” based on the assessment given to him by the generals on the ground when visits with them very soon.
“I am going to do a thorough assessment when I’m there,” he told reporters on the airport tarmac here. “I’m sure I’ll have more information and continue to refine my policy.”
While it’s still true that the majority of Americans don’t think we should have gone in to Iraq, only a small minority of far-left loones believe we should leave in defeat. Given the dramatic improvements in Iraq both militarily and politically, Obama’s cut and run strategy from the primaries isn’t going to hold any water in the general election.
Shock and horror are reverberating around the lefty blogosphere as the far-left comes to terms with the fact that Obama isn’t as committed to America’s defeat as they are, even if only for political reasons.
You can look for him to return from Iraq and announce that based on the improvements he’s seen with his own eyes, his 16-month withdrawal plan may need some “adjusting.” No doubt he’ll try to stay as vague as possible for as long as possible on exactly what that means.
I just can’t believe Democrats were such suckers to believe that Obama was really a “different kind of politician.” Yeah right.
