Barack Obama actually said...

"I am a big believer in making decisions well, not making them fast and not responding to pressure."

"My belief is that, as a practical matter, it would be very difficult to execute."

"I am absolutely convinced that the best thing we can do is to set a clear timetable, tell the Iraqis, 'We are going to start pulling out.'"

"I want to make sure that I get it right."
