Australia is a long time ally of America. Not surprised that Australia's Prime Minister Howard views Obama's time table as possibly destabilizing to achieving a military or political solution in Iraq and the Middle East.

If Obama were President, he would have leverage to put forth a time table in conjunction with advisors. At this time he does not have that leverage, his statements are political statements to counteract Hilary and the other Democrat candidates to gain the nomination for either President or Vice President.

From the article---------

"Mr Howard said: "I think that will just encourage those who want to completely destabilise and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory," Mr Howard said in a television interview."If I were running al-Qaida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying ... for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats."

The Illinois senator is a frontrunner, along with Hillary Clinton, for the Democratic nomination. Although Mrs Clinton has a more established team and has already raised $14m (£7.1m) in funds, Mr Obama has a reputation as the more exciting. He has attracted experienced campaigners to his team and is expected to match Mrs Clinton in fundraising."
