Obama isn't stupid enough to risk screwing Iraq up. It would be an abject failure of his presidency. He's not a total idiot.


All he has to do is bring home the surge troops or redeploy to Afghanistan to claim he's moving on Iraq and he can buy into the already approved ramp down schedule agreed to by Iraq and the USA under Bush. Basically a lot of hand waving and doing what was already in plan - although he can give a better speech than Bush ever could have.
