Any plan to leave Iraq is going to need the advice of the Generals in Iraq and the people in charge of the Iraq war. Clinton’s fucking fantasy of withdrawing troops in the first 6 months of Her administration is just Election Rhetoric. She’s saying that because that’s what the American people, she thinks, wants to hear. Obama’s saying something like 16 months, this again is nonsense and rhetoric but Obama is probably closer to a realistic timeline.
Neither one of them has a plan because they do not have access to the key players involved in withdrawing our troops. So they are just guessing and trying to stay a vague as possible. It wouldn’t sound good saying, “I have no idea because I won’t know all the facts until I’m elected.” That’s the truth but doesn‘t play well on the evening news.
If Obama or Clinton win the White House they will have to put committees together and get all the pertinent information to base a decision on. Recommendations will be asked for, feasibility studies will be requested, and a dozen other important players in the war are going to have to be consulted and their recommendations reviewed. Even if Clinton or Obama gave the order to withdraw the next day after they were sworn in it’ll be months before a plan is shaped and enacted.
McCain doesn’t have a plan, to my knowledge. What’s his plan? To take, hold and rebuild. That was Rice’s plan. We don’t have enough troops to do that. All McCain is saying is the war is working, stay the course. Show me what his agenda is for his first year in office. No one’s asking him the tough questions about rebuilding, troop escalation or reduction, and how to get the squabbling tribes to unify under one centralized government.
I don’t listen to McCain much but does anyone have any information on McCain’s strategy?
