Obama and Iraq

Fox News: Reports that the Obama Administration could take up to twenty three months to get out of Iraq, not the sixteen months that Candidate Obama stated on the Campaign Trail. A longer timetable for withdrawal would be a wise move by Obama, it would allow Iraq to build up its own security, the USA could take out combat troops but have enough US Service Personnel in country to train the Iraqi military and police. Also in the region it would warn Iran that the USA is still over the border should Iran ever go nuclear, Obama if he plays this right could have Iraq as a net positive for Obama, a peaceful Iraq would be in contrast to Afghanistan, Afghanistan could become Obama's War after the planed surge of American troops this year. Read of the Day.
