Would those be the ones that Maliki heard from Obama and thought were just about right? Bush had spent years shunning all deadlines and timetables as things that only aided the enemy, but suddenly he couldn't wait to negotiate on when and how to get out...
Apparently, you think it's smart then, to tell the enemy when we're leaving? That certainly seems like flawed strategy. I wouldn't think you could win too many wars with that.
What school did you graduate from that teaches this kind of war planning? I doubt they teach this at West Point, Annapolis, or VMI.

I personally think it's smart not to START an unnecessary war in the first place.
Oh please. Bush always said the conditions on the ground would determine withdrawal.
Yes, and those conditions happened to be Obama sitting down to talk with Maliki.

All that had been in existence for months was the open-ended "conditions on the ground". That's where Bush was, that's where McCain was. Then, Poof!...16 months is the right timeframe for withdrawal with the possibility of some changes. Whole new ballgame...
Go back and read all the statements Bill Clinton ever made concerning Saddam, Iraq and WMD's.
Go back and read everything else that was written about Iraq, Saddam and WMD's before Bush/Cheney.
Besides, we know he had the weapons programs, and we know he had the weapons, because he had previously used them.
Hello?
I'm so tired of hearing liberals use this as the reason why we shouldn't have gone into Iraq, and using it as an excuse to call Bush a "liar".
Problem is that liberals begin to beleive their own lies, do they not?
What was being pushed by Bush as that he was creating new weapons programs, the whole Uranium debacle and what not. Of course we know he had the weapons at one point, Reagan gave it to him.
