Can You Do That?

Watching some of the Senate hearings on the Obama Afghanistan plan, one Senator asked, "what happens if in 2011, we and the Afghani's aren't ready to drawn down troops?" The answer, in summation, was "we'll evaluate it then, and adjust the drawn down, if necessary."

Really? Can you really have it both ways? Can you say on the one hand, we are going to be pulling out in 2011 and then on the other say, but not if it doesn't make sense to do it? And if this is the position, what is the point of making the goal to drawn down in 2011.

Actually makes GW Bush's pledge to not put a timetable on Iraq or Afghanistan kinda, sorta, and relatively honest (but not necessarily wise).
