The Secret

Mitt Romney is the only person in America who looked at Democratic Senator Mark Pryor's "we'll set a troop withdrawal deadline but won't tell anyone" plan and thought, "Good idea!"

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.”

The theory here is that the "enemy," such that they are, won't notice that we're pulling 150,000 military personnel out of the country.

Also, isn't publishing that there will be a secret withdrawal timeline, um... doesn't that blow the secret?

The fantasy-world scenario here is so ludicrous I don't even know why I'm dignifying it by writing about it. I may delete this.
