4/4/2008 Iraq's 3 AM Phone Is Ringing
Of late, Barack Obama has aggressively stepped up his misleading attacks on John McCain with regard to Iraq. The funny thing is, while Obama is blasting McCain for being willing to keep troops in Iraq for an extended period (though admittedly not on the basis Obama has claimed), we learn today that one of Obama’s advisors isn’t exactly advocating for a full and immediate withdrawal.
According to the New York Sun , one Colin Kahl penned a confidential memo recommending “that America keep between 60,000 and 80,000 troops in Iraq as of late 2010.” Kahn also says that specific timelines should flow from negotiations and conditions on the ground. In sum, as the Sun underlines, that’s a plan that’s largely at odds with the commitments made by Obama to withdraw combat forces from Iraq within 16 months of taking office, full stop (and I might add, so are statements made by certain other Obama advisers).
Kahl’s apparent sentiments on Iraq beg the question: What’s the deal, Senator Obama? In or out?
The 3 AM phone– on which Obama and Clinton have become fixated– is ringing and neither “present” nor diversionary attacks on John McCain, relying on misleading talking points, amounts to an answer.
