President-elect Obama told 60 Minutes he would draw down (whatever the hell that means) troops from Iraq and close Gitmo, while taking those troops from iraq and pounding them down the rathole of Afghanistan.
If I’m generous, I’ll give Obama a 1.5. Half a point on “drawing down” Iraq troops, which is NOT, of course, a withdrawal, and sets aside whether Obama is still limiting his withdrawal to “combat troops,” whatever they are, and also sets aside what Obama will do if the government of Iraq is serious about wanting ALL U.S. troops out.
And, as readers here know, I totally disagree with bailing out GM.
