Wait a sec...

Isn't this the white flag of surrender that McCain and Palin have been hysterical about?

  • Firm deadline for withdrawal

  • NOT conditions based


So... In this weird alternate-reality, McCain is fighting not only Obama but also President Bush, Secretary Gates, and Secretary Rice.

Did the Bush Administration make a 180 degree turn on this while nobody was watching? I thought they always touted the "withdrawal must be based on conditions on the ground" position?

Interestingly, the Iraqi Parliament may stand with McCain in opposition to the agreement but, in their case, it's presumably because they want a more rapid withdrawal?
