Obama, trying to get to the left of Hillary so as to improve his electability with the far-left wing of the Democrat party, seeks to betray the U.S. and the American troops by demanding that our troops leave Iraq by March 31 of next year, as long as their work in Iraq is not finished. Otherwise, they can stay.
...the withdrawal could be temporarily suspended if the Iraqi government meets a series of benchmarks laid out by the Bush administration. That list includes a reduction in sectarian violence; the equitable distribution of oil revenue; government reforms; and democratic, Iraqi-driven reconstruction and economic development efforts.
Per Obama, the troops can stay if "sectarian violence" is reduced and the other key goals have been achieved; otherwise they have to come home.
Obama may unknowingly be positioning himself as a "give up and quit" politician.
