CNN has just broken a story in which Senators Obama, Hagel and Reed have released a memo detailing their meeting with Iraqi Prime Minster Malaki.They note that the Iraqis want "an aspirational timeline" with the US departing by the end of 2010.
Sorry - info is still sketchy - and I don't have enough news for the body. Please forgive. This really represents a marked differentiation by the Iraqis from the Bush administration policies.
Update - David Gergen believes that Obama made a mistake in releasing the memorandum - "only one president at a time; leaves himself open to criticism."
