He will rely upon a plan - an operational plan - that he pulls together in consultation with people who are on the ground to whom he doesn't have daily access now, as a result of not being the President," she said. The question is, and always has been, what if the "people on the ground that Obama doesn't have access now", tell a President Obama that a hasty draw down will cause regional unrest and endanger the United States interests? Will he go against the promises he made to his anti war (left) backers, or listen to the commanders on the ground? Even leaving a good percent of America wondering about that very question, while listening to his campaign rhetoric is reason enough to give any forward thinking person reason to pause.
I don't trust a word Obama or Hillary have to say but at least he is leaving open the options and seems to be willing to look to the military on the ground for opinions. Where as Hillary is telling us she is going to pull them out period. As a mother to 2 soldiers I would like nothing more than for them to be stateside but I also do not want them to go back in a 5-10 years to unknown circumstances
