A few days ago I was writing an email to a list I'm on, talking about how Russia would just love to see John McCain as US President over Barack Obama. My reasoning went like this: If Obama is elected he'll pull us out of Iraq, and McCain won't. With our troops stuck in the sand, so to speak, we are powerless to actually do anything to counter the moves of a now more militant Russia.
Well, it seemed like a reasonable argument...
Now Iraq has announced that the US has agreed to a timetable (yes, I said timetable) for the eventual withdrawl of US troops from Iraq. It looks like I may have to eat those words. Assuming, of course, that the US actually does pull its troops out, as we have promised. With the current administration, that's a mighty big assumption. We'll see if the USA is as good as its word; frankly, I'm not so sure we are, but I keep hoping.
