Iraq's President clearly and explicitly states that the 16 month time table that Barack Obama has proposed for Iraq is one that he supports. There's nothing remotely ambiguous about his statement. The statement though does make Republican's quite uncomfortable (one of them even telling Marc Ambinder "We're fucked") and subsequently we see the curtain pulled back a little more as the statement is walked back a touch. Not walked back by Maliki mind you, or even an official statement from the Iraqi government but in a press release issued via CENTCOM.
Pretty telling, no?
