What Obama Learned From General Petraeus

Nothing, apparently. Here is more from ABC News’ interview with Obama yesterday. Terry Moran asks Obama about his “open disagreement” with the generals in Iraq about a timetable for withdrawal. In response, Obama tap-dances furiously:

Given that Obama renounces any “rigid” adherence to a timetable, even though such “rigidity” was the key to his clinching the Democratic nomination, it’s hard to say what his current position is. The only thing we know for sure is that he looks forward to being Commander in Chief, in which role he plans to disregard military advice when it suits him.
