New York Times: Reports on a interesting political and national security development, the move by the Bush Administration to see an end at some time of American presence in Iraq. This development is interesting as it kind of works both for McCain and Obama at first, for McCain the success of the surge has allowed for the government of Iraq to take over while for Obama it fits his call for a timetable for withdraw of troops. But when you think about it long term it hurts Obama, you can see McCain will use the past weakness of Obama against him, the ads have started already, how Obama was against the surge and how it would not work, now of course it would work, and many other change of policy by Obama. The Bush Administration is also talking to Iran, another aspect of the Obama plan, of course Iran wont budge thus it helps show that the policy of Obama is weak. The Obama Camp should recall 1968 and 1976, a lame duck President is still President of the United States of America and has the biggest Microphone.
