The Times: Reports that Liberals are furious with President Obama for his Plan for Iraq. This is a good move by President Obama, he has gone Liberal on the Domestic Agenda but very cautious on Foreign Policy, he does not want to be another Jimmy Carter. The keeping of between thirty five and fifty thousand troops in Iraq allows him to take action should Iraq go back to the bad days of 2006/7. The Obama Administration does not want a new slogan, " Who Lost Iraq " as this would recall the problems Democrats had with " Who Lost China " at the start of the Cold War. Thus the plan keeps Obama in the game, allows him to keep an eye on Iran, and allows Iraq to develop under American Security. Lets be honest no one trusts Democrats when in comes to National Security, thus this move by President Obama is right in strategic terms and political terms, what Obama needs now is for the Liberal New York Times to be critical of this policy, then he would get total Republican support.
