Obama makes a key concession on Iraq
Ben Smith highlights an Barack Obama shifting his Iraq position in a TV interview:
"And you pull out according to that time table, regardless of the situation? Even if there’s serious sectarian violence?" Kroft asked.
"No, I always reserve as commander in chief, the right to assess the situation," Obama replied.
This makes a welcome contrast to Obama’s previous statement that preventing genocide was not a reason to keep US troops in theatre.
