Tonight, at 8:00P.M. EST, President Obama will give a major speech about withdrawing from Iraq. Some folks (Boehner for one) think Obama wants to claim credit for this mess.
I am not one of those folks.
President Obama should distance his administration from this war of Bush's choice. Something between an arm's length and a mile should be enough. Praise Bush where he deserves praise, talk about what went well and what went wrong, and explain what he wants to happen next.
End of speech.
