For the first time, Obama met with General Davis Petraeus about Iraq. And Obama seems troubled that Petraeus wants "maximum flexibility."
Petraeus, not Obama, is the "Yes we can" guy.
Here are Obama's comments:
In terms of my conversations with General Petraeus, there's no doubt that General Petraeus does not want a timetable. I mean I think that he's said that publicly. And he is, and as I said, in his role, I think he wants maximum flexibility to be able to do what he believes needs to be done inside of Iraq.
And here is the video.
Last night, when asked on ABC's Nightline if knowing what he knows now, if he would support the surge, Obama said no.
Petraeus: Flexible
Obama: Inflexible
