Obama Advisers Differ Over Flexibility of Troop Withdrawal
elections.foxnews.com — In an interview with MSNBC, Susan Rice, chief foreign policy advisor, said Obama has been “consistent” on the matter, but that the 16-month plan is just an estimate — “That’s not a deadline, it's a timetable, and the Senator has said he will listen to the commanders on the ground in deciding the actual timing and numbers for withdrawal."

Hmmm, first the wiretap betrayal, and then today Obama endorsed George Bush's Faith Based Initiative with the Christian Right. Now his foreign policy advisor says Obama will base withdrawal from Iraq on what the military guys tell him.
Interesting......- NoDrama, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3You'd probably be more effective if you'd just say what's on your mind. "Interesting" isn't fooling folks.
- SheilaNoya, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Speaking of "betrayal"... I guess you're no longer an Obama supporter like you previously claimed you were. I see you've submitted several negative stories from Fox News about Obama now.
Obama is still saying the exact same thing about Iraq that he always has. Nothing has changed. His plan is still to have all combat troops out of Iraq within 16 months, but he's always said it would also depend on conditions on the ground. If you're really an Obama supporter, then surely you've heard him say on countless occasions:
"We have to be just as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless going in."
Maybe your problem is that you've decided you will depend on Fox News for your information.

And suprised if ridgeline didn't try to use this as an excuse to try to plant seeds of doubt about Obama as part of his obvious ploy to appear to have second thoughts about the Senator, and cast everything as a flip flop including the mis-reported faith based story.
But what good are conclusions if you can't jump to them? Right, ridge?
