Instapundit — MAYBE HE CAN BE WANKER OF THE WEEK: Obama backpedals on Iraq withdrawal, leading Tom Maguire to observe: After lefties have had a moment to absorb the Rick Warren news they can turn to the latest plot twist in the "Will he, won't he" drama of Obama's troop withdrawals. . . .

Maybe. My bet is that this is an inoculating early leak so that fewer doves are actually left standing on the rug when Obama finally and formally pulls it out from under them.

Triangulating me

Whether your concern was tax cuts for the rich, the war in Iraq, the dropping of eaves without a warrant, support for charter schools, or the culture wars, Obama is backing away from the hopes and dreams of the activist left. There are exceptions, including particularly the environment, and the left will no doubt get plenty of lower profile appointments in immensely important jobs that you and I have never heard about, but in ...
