Do you have any teenage or pre-teen children? They always think they are ready before they really are, sometimes the adult has to be the adult. We have invested too much in Iraq, to turn the country over before they can really handle it. Yes, that is "unfair", but I am the adult.

We are making progress. And my original question was regarding Obama's position on the consequences of failure? If 16 months come and they need more help, what is he going to do?
