Barack Obama's July 3 statement that he would "continue to refine" his
policy on Iraq based on a "thorough assessment" of conditions on the
ground and more information from military commanders prompted howls of
protest (and a few cheers) from across the political spectrum. Antiwar
activists worried that he was softening his earlier commitment to end
the Iraq War on a fixed timetable; Republicans accused him of
flip-flopping. Meanwhile, a rising chorus of establishment voices
applauded Obama's comment as a step toward a "reasonable position" based
on an open-ended policy of "conditional engagement." Faced with such
obsessive parsing of his remark--based on the premise that Obama had
shifted course--the candidate was forced to the podium (and the <I>New
York Times</I> op-ed page) to clarify.
