Obama: A "residual presence" in Iraq By Rizzuto Wed Jul 02, 2008 - Of all of Obama's flip flops, this one can be considered "the big one". Although he hasn't fully embraced this new message, he's certainly flirting with a new position. This from the Financial Times: Mr. Obama, even after withdrawing troops from Iraq over 16 months as he has promised, would maintain "a residual presence for clearly defined missions". These would include military training, and "preparedness to go back in if there are specific acts of genocidal violence".This is simply the first step in what will be a shift in policy. Look for the full metamorphosis to be completed after he returns from his trip to Iraq.
