The American people want us out of Iraq.
Barack Obama wants us out of Iraq.
Until now, John “GHW” McCain has wanted us to stay in Iraq in perpetuity, or until the oil dries up…whichever comes first.
But, now that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has publicly declared he wants us to have a “timetable” for getting the hell out of his country, it won’t be long before Johnny Flip-lipflaps-flops McCain changes his position to Obama’s, all the while trying to make us think he thunk it up all by his lonesome.
My, al-Maliki’s a quick study in learning American’s rule-of-thumb political speak, hedge your bets on whatever you say.
Of course, caveats abound or as al-Maliki put it: a timetable conditioned on the ability of Iraqi forces to provide security, which might insure McCain’s stance of staying in Iraq forever and die trying.
But … we can be sure that McC will adopt “timetable” as his own with the same caveat.
