With the clear progress seen in Iraq over the past year, it’s only been when his reluctance to even discuss the current situation with people who know – think of the soldiers in Iraq of General Patraeus – that his position “evolved.” It looks to me like he’s trying to evade the effects of his cut-and-run position, not that his position is actually changing. It’s not that he’s talking more sensibly about Iraq and the wider war that’s the problem, it’s that he’s demonstrating that his words can’t be trusted.
