BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United States must provide a "very clear timeline" to withdraw its troops from Iraq as part of an agreement allowing them to stay beyond this year, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Sunday.

What does McCain have to say about this timeline?
Quote:

McCain also renewed his criticism of Obama's call for a timeline to remove troops from Iraq, even as the U.S. and Iraq are near an agreement to pull American combat troops from the country by October 2010.
McCain later told The Associated Press that he believed the agreement being negotiated was not a timeline, as advocated by Obama.
"It will be notional and aspirational dates, but it will be based on conditions, I know that," McCain said. "They will be times that we hope they can be out by. They will be based on conditions on the ground, not according to hard deadlines."

I do believe the administrations of the US and Iraq are working on a GOAL of withdraw at the end of 2010, based on conditions on the ground as always.

If we had followed obama's plan for Iraq, we would not have this opportunity to withdraw based on victory. We would have been defeated, we would have left the Iraqi's to their own devices, and we would have given AQI a huge victory.

What we have given them instead, is a humiliating DEFEAT.

If we followed Obama's plan for iraq, we would not have gone there in the first place.

The iraqi gov't want us out regardless of what the conditions are at the end of 2010.

barack obama supported the global poverty, guaranteeing wars for generations to come. give me a break. he's a freaking huge warmonger. just because you don't see the highlights on MSNBC, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

sorry bub. the only peace keepers were ron paul, gravel, and I guess now, barr. barack obama is a warmongering psychopath. but it's cool, if keith olbermann doesn't say so, it isn't so right?
