This is what is known as moving to the center for the general election.
Both candidates will do it in fact are already doing it.
I would argue Obama is correct to avoid promising the troops will be pulled out regardless of the situation on the ground.
It would be irresponsible especially now with the oil speculators more nervous than ever.
The bottom line is no matter who is elected those troops will be there for much longer than alot of Liberals want.

mm - Barack Obama's Plan
Judgment You Can Trust
As a candidate for the United States Senate in 2002, Obama put his political career on the line to oppose going to war in Iraq, and warned of "an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences."

* In 2005, he called for a phased withdrawal of our troops;

Bringing Our Troops Home
Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq.
He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.
THE ABOVE IS FROM OBAMA'S OWN WEB SITE
