    Don't forget he has been right about what is needed in Afghanistan as well. Bush is now going to redeploy forces like Obama has called for for years... Something McBush thought was not needed until it became a political issue recently...

    And that his calls for diplomacy with Iran were correct(bush is now sending people to talk directly with Iran, which Bush and McBush called Appeasement just last month)

    Anything else im forgetting that Barack was right on, that Bush is now bending over and doing?

      Timing folks, when Obama was advocating this the timing was wrong. Now after the SURGE, conditions are different. NOTICE the quassi time table that Bush set up with Maliki is dependent on how things are going on the ground and can be modified as needed. Maliki is in complete agreement with the depending on how things are going statement and Indicated so in his speech!

        Timing BS! If they would have not invaded Iraq in the first place we wouldn't even be talking about withdrawal. We should have finished the job in Afghanistan. Osama is still running free, why?

        Not to mention if we would have invaded Iraq with enough troops to have properly secured the place it may not have become such a mess. The surge was 4 years too late. How's that for timing.

          MIVAN:

          "NOTICE the quassi time table that Bush set up with Maliki"

          Bush was ADAMANTLY opposed to timetables just several days ago. He only RELUCTANTLY acquiesced when al-Maliki refused to budge on the issue.

          I find it laughable just how much Bush apologists need to contort their position to justify Bush's and McCain's flip-flopping. First, it was flip-flopping on talks with Iran. Now, it's flip-flopping on setting timelines for troop redeployment in Iraq.

          What's next?

          LOL.

          Except that re-deploying of troops to Afghanistan is a tremendous error. Sad that Obama has to use that fop to American militaristic imperialism to get elected.

          How to Save Afghanistan

          Politics â;; Just because Afghanistan has problems that need to be solved does not mean that the West can solve them all. Those pushing for an expansion of our military presence there are wrong. We don't need bold new plans and billions more in aid. Instead, we need less investment - but a greater focus on what we know how to do.
