Speaking on ABC’s Good Morning America, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) said that he supports setting a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq — but only if it’s a secret time line.
Asked yesterday by Robin Roberts if he would “set a deadline for bringing the troops home,”
Romney said only that he “wouldn’t publish it for my adversaries to see.” Romney added, “I would certainly sit down with al-Maliki as well as his government, plot out a series of milestones, timetables as well, measure how well they’re doing. But that’s not something you’d publish for the enemy to understand.”
Richard Nixon “campaigned in 1968 by saying he had a secret plan to end the war in Vietnam.” His Defense Secretary Melvin Laird later wrote, “Richard Nixon was elected in 1968 on the assumption that he had a plan to end the Vietnam War. He didn’t have any such plan.” In fact, the war dragged on, leading to over 20,000 American deaths.

Yes Kneepads is using the Nixon plan of saying what the people want to hear but knowing he's wont do it. For us that remember Vietnam it's old news. At lease Mitt showed that he is willing to lie and let thousands more soldiers die if he steals the White House. Better to know now that Mitt is a liar then after. It's like having a new Bushie in office who uses his religion to continue the crime wave.
