re: #75 armylaw

I’m not 100% sure I agree. If the time-table were one that said “All troops will be gone by July 2011,” I would agree with McCain: the Taliban could just wait out the Americans. But note what Obama said: in July 2011, the drawdown will begin, and its speed will depend on conditions on the ground.

It’s still an inconsistent message. When we landed troops at Normandy, we didn’t have a timetable for withdrawal. We went in to win the war. I guess I’m obsolete.
