As I said in another thread yesterday, six months from now, the folks that will be the most PO'd at him will be the left-wing of his own party.....When he assumes the office, with it will come realities that he has not even begun to imagine, as inexperienced as he is.......with the realization that his agenda will not be moving forward without some very strong resistance from not only the Republicans, but the more moderate members of his own party, a whole new world will suddenly dawn on the left.....that is going to be fun to watch.....
And so far as Iraq is concerned, TRG would be the expert, but I would suspect that things would be pretty much wrapped up there in 16 months.....where Obama is vulnerable is that he supports ongoing operations in Afganistan (or at least he campaigned on that premise), and if that theatre extends or degrades, he will pay the same price that GWB is doing now, and it will be particularly bloody with the anti-war faction of his own party......
