ahhhh i love the internet: werent we supposed to be out of IRAQ (promise broken) Time is up... ooooops better blame the tea party Obama clarifies: can remove combat troops in Iraq in 16 months. Iraq speech Tuesday. By Lynn Sweet on July 14, 2008 8:59 AM \| 1 Comment WASHINGTON--Presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) raised questions WASHINGTON--Presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) raised questions about his Iraq policy when he said he was said he may "refine" it if president. To put to rest his committment to get troops out of Iraq--a central premise of the Obama presidental bid--Obama clarified his position via an op-ed in the Monday New York Times. He will follow up with a speech on Iraq Tuesday in Washington. Obama will be visiting Iraq wth Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Sen. Chuck Hagle (R-Neb.). Obama: As I’ve said many times, we must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. We can safely redeploy our combat brigades at a pace that would remove them in 16 months. That would be the summer of 2010 — two years from now, and more than seven years after the war began. After this redeployment, a residual force in Iraq would perform limited missions: going after any remnants of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, protecting American service members and, so long as the Iraqis make political progress, training Iraqi security forces. That would not be a precipitous withdrawal. in carrying out this strategy, we would inevitably need to make tactical adjustments.
