Perhaps why some people feel if President Obama found a cure for cancer he would still be criticized....

The first problem with that statement is referring to McCain, Perry, et. al. as leading Republicans. The only way they can comprehend leadership is with a dictionary (which leaves Dan Quayle out of the running.... )

I had issues with the timeline. I still have issues with any military leader publishing a timeline for action for strategic reasons.

That having been said, however, when the country you're assisting gives you a date and says be out by then, you move. Only time will tell whether it really worked, it's far to soon to pass judgement, but somehow I doubt you've seen the last of the insurgents in Iraq.
