CNN News: Reports that the Iraqi government has denied a Timetable Plan. That the problem when you have internal politics, the USA Election and International Politics mix. As last post the Democrats thought the Iraqi PM had give them a nice present, a get out of Iraq clause, but International Politics does not work like that, lets postulate that the Government of Iraq wants a timetable of about two years for Western Troops to leave, but its one thing to have a private plan its another for that plan to become public, there are two reasons, one the terrorists can just wait for two years or if McCain wins he will want to wait longer. The second reason is the Government of Iraq does not want to be seen as supporting either candidate, they have to work with either who wins. This takes me back to Nixon in 1968 and Vietnam. LBJ tried to help Hubert Humphrey at the last hour, it nearly worked, thus the Obama Camp should be careful when mixing internal politics with external politics.
