The article is about the canidates avoiding the Iraq issue. Which they should, if they want to win the election. The candidates know the public wants to hear, "bring the troops home now," and they all know it's impossible. If they go in front of the cameras and say "it's going to be ten more years, here's my plan," it's political suicide.
The candidates are focused on this vague notion of "change" with few specifics attached. With respect to Iraq - I think it's accurate to say that the public is associating "change" with an implied, but yet-to-be-articulated exit strategy - which of course it is not.

Yup, and so far, including tonight's debates, Hillary says she will start to bring them home within 60 days of her election and have them all out within one year. Edwards says all troops home within one year.
Lights years from a yet-to-be articulated exit strategy. |

Yes, I agree. Saying you'll be out in a year is light years away from an exit strategy.
