Analysis: Accord may blur disputes over Iraq war

Sent from Express News
WASHINGTON - A new U.S.-Iraqi agreement raising the possibility of a withdrawal timeline threatens to complicate the war policies of presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.

It bolsters Obama's call for a quick exit but also could undercut one of the Democrat's signature issues - opposition to the war - as he prepares for a high-stakes trip to the region. It leaves McCain caught between his objections to any timetable and the evolving wishes the Republican president he hopes to succeed.
