#1 Nobody's asking for a precipitous withdrawal

Except Obama's own platform.

#2 Are we still in Germany, Japan, South Korea? Then any earlier withdraw from Iraq is precipitous.

#3 I really don't give a rat's ass about what you saying general; my mind is made up. I'm just trying to get some face time so I can look "commander in chiefish" for the voters.

#4 FOX NEWS AM + O'REILLY SHOW + REALCLEARPOLITICS/
HOTAIR > DICK MORRIS - OBAMA'S WEAKNESS IS WEAKNESS. MORRIS [paraph > told O'REILLY THAT HUGE ISSUES-PROBS ARE COMING UP IN IRAQ FOR OBAMA + OTHER POTUS CANDIDATES. IIRC, in Morris' opinion Obama has a potentially harmful/serious campaign + leadership prob in that HE OBAMA HAS NO SPECIFICS = CLEAR PLAN ON DEFEATING ISLAMIST TERROR OTHER THAN GETTING-PULLING US TROOPS OUT OF EVERY TROUBLE SPOT(S), + THAT OBAMA HAS NO ANSWERS TO VARIOUS "WHAT IF" SCENARIOS BE IT GOOD, BAD, OR OTHER FOR USA + WOT.

* PENNSYLVANIA {PRIMARY > PA IS A MEDIA-SENSITIVE STATE for the Candidates = DUBIOUS area for Obama despite Obama being up 3:1 agz HILLARY on national polls. MORRIS - AT LEAST DEM HILLARY HAS SOME KIND OF PLAN OR ANSWER TO ABOVESAME VARIOUS SCENARIOS, whilst MCCAIN has already made it clear he WANTS THE USA TO STAY AND FIGHT/SLUG IT OUT IN IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN.
