First the about face on Iran, now this...

“The United States and Iraq have agreed to set a “general time horizon” for the “further reduction of U.S. combat forces in Iraq” following the improvement in security conditions in the country, the White House said Friday.” (NY Times)

I'm guessing that the WH stayed up late to avoid saying that instead of this:

We’ve agreed to a timetable for withdrawal….but after years of saying this is cutting and running we cannot use these words. That is all.

Way to shape policy until you take over in January, President Obama.
