"Troop removal from Iraq" is a bit of a trap door.
Most governments who are involved in Afghanistan are facing the same questions from opposition parties.
No-one can honestly put forward a withdrawal plan without putting the lives of troops and allies at risk. So I wouldn't deduct points from either candidate for getting it wrong. The fact that they both state their intent to come up with a withdrawal plan should please most Democrats.
I'd also suggest that Obama's plan intentionally excludes a number of citizens. Not that he is mean spirited or incapable of coming up with a better plan but because it's easier to sell to Republicans and he is looking ahead to the Presidential race.
