Mara Liasson doesn't seem to know much about the U.S. politics even though that's what she's paid to know and speak about. She was completely wrong on McCain's immigration position and now she has the temerity to speak of what the American people want in Iraq. Glenn Greenwald finds that she came out with this howler yesterday:
LIASSON: I think the 16 months -- he is trying to get himself out of that box. Look, Samantha Power got in a lot of trouble . . . where she said, "Well, of course he's not going to just stick to some campaign promise of 16 months. He's going to look at the facts on the ground."
Well, that's what the American people want a commander in chief to do. That might not be what his left-wing base does. The question for Obama now is what kind of Iraq does he want to leave behind.
As Glenn points out, the polls show that the majority of Americans want out of Iraq in 2 years or less, no matter what the situation on the ground is. Why can't Liasson be bothered to read the polls?
