BAGHDAD, July 21 (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama did not raise his plan to withdraw troops from Iraq within 16 months in his talks on Monday with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi government's spokesman said.

"This issue, we do not discuss ... ," spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told reporters when asked if Obama had brought up the 16-month timeframe.

Obama’s plan is on a “need to know” basis.

this will be like a bowl of jello,

falling off the kitchen counter—

hard to tell what’s up and what’s down.

Obama didn't raise his troop plan with Maliki...he sure is getting a lot of good press in the US on how much Maliki and the Iraqis like his plan, including from the "All-Star Panel" on Fox, for a guy who didn't even discuss his plan with Maliki.......

When I read that article, all kinds of BS flags and and whistles went off. From a security standpoint alone, that would be impossible, if it happened the way the article read.

The “mainstream” Democrat newsrooms will never let the facts stop them from cramming their tongues all the way up Obama’s anus. You will NOT see any corrections or clarifications about this on CNN or in the NY Times.

Obama avoided bringing up his plan because he knew it would make huge NEGATIVE headlines when Maliki “nixed” it.

I travel alot and have noticed many area’s in the country do not have in on their cable. It’s Air America cable. In fact Air America is rebroadcasting Hardball and Rachell Madow Air America is on MSNBC each night. Every expert says Obama is right each night. They even praise Bush to compare him with McCain, to hurt McCain. Remember when they loved McCain cause he attacked republicans?
