Obama's Iraq shift?
It seems to me that Obama might be able to execute a reasonably cost-free transition of view on Iraq (which seems to have begun) provided that he is open about changing his mind.
The Republicans are after him, of course, but the American people have changed their views again and again - backing the war with great gusto at the beginning, before moving against it.
It would be tiresome though if the Obama people claim there is no change. Obama might well be favoured as well by the tougher conditions in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, a colleage of mine sends a shot from rural Montana which I find strangely beautiful, but which will concern those who organised the softening of Mr Obama's gun position. Seems not everyone is grateful...
