Well, he at least presented a succinct version of my post yesterday about Maliki’s semi-endorsement of Obama’s withdrawal timetable on today’s MTP:

MR. TODD: Joe Voter in Rolla, Missouri, is sitting there going, “You know, I really would like to get out of Iraq. Oh, and hey, Iraq wants us out.”

MR. GREGORY: Yeah.

MR. TODD: “Let’s go.”

And I do think that that will be the basic response in the minds of many as a result of what Maliki said.
