Talk about a "gift."
Maliki has handed Obama the biggest gift for his campaign by suggesting that the U.S. consider a time line for withdrawing the troops.
McCain is in a tough spot because how will he reasonably go against what the Iraqis want. McCain would have to change his whole position to be in accord with Maliki and that would make him the dreaded "flip flopper."
Obama can maintain his position of being against the war and setting a time line with the support of the Maliki government.
Win-Win for Obama; Lose-Lose for McCain.
