Iraq in November:

By November Mosul should be cleared. Sadr will be either emasculated or causing hell. There are 5 months to go until November. Imagine the election if the war is clearly on the two yard line.

Now - will Americans want to quit on the two?

This is Obama's worst nightmare.

I am absolutely convinced that the Dems wanted to loose quickly last year to avoid this possibility.

It will be fun to watch!

To me, it's (Iraq) a concern given the lack of public support for it.

I wonder how much of this lack of public support traces back to the dishonesty of the PR campaign leading up to it?

I think that sentiment amongst voters would be difficult to quantify.
