1. I'm not sure, but what I just heard Obama respond was that when he is
...President he will consult with and listen to the commander's in Iraq and other war zones, but that ultimately he as Commander in Chief will set priorities and policy. That's what I heard in that video.

3. That's exactly what he said.
And his explanation of why he will do that was superb.

2. Wow. Obama is truly exceptional.
He handled that question re. Petraus brilliantly. His statesmanship on this trip is stunning.
