VIDEO: Axelrod Reaffirms Obama’s Commitment To 16 Month Iraq Withdrawal Timetable

By GottaLaff


Music to my ears:

Obama has in fact, scheduled a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other top military commanders next Wednesday, his first full day in office. Today on ABC’s This Week, host George Stephanopoulos noted the meeting and asked Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod if Obama intends to keep his promise, and order the 16 month withdrawal timetable. Axerod’s answered, “yes”. [...]

[T]he Pentagon has already begun planning for Obama’s Iraq withdrawal timeline. “Our military planners do not live in a vacuum,” Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said last week. “They are well aware that the president-elect campaigned on withdrawing troops from Iraq on a 16-month timeline, so it would be only prudent of them to draw up plans that reflected that option.”

The anti-Bush.

Sidebar: As one MSNBC commentator just said, Obama is asking us to be responsible and participate... he "is not asking us to go shopping."
