2009 isn't ASAP but sure isn't enough time to fix that country. Considering that many Iraqi officials have said that they won't have control of the country until at least 2018

Right.

Interviewed on Feb. 10 by 60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft, who asked him if he would still implement his plan for withdrawing all U.S. troops from Iraq by 2009, “regardless of the situation? Even if there’s serious sectarian violence?”, Obama said: “No, I always reserve as commander in chief, the right to assess the situation.”

Funny thing was....

In 2006 he said the US should start pulling out by 2007.

2007 he said 2008.

2008 he said 2009.

He has also mentioned 2012.

You see, it favors the Democrats to talk about a withdrawal....but they're never going to commit to something thats not going to happen.
