Why does Obama have a "new" Plan for Iraq?

There is a withdrawal plan in place, much to the dismay of the first two posters. They must have been in comas. Also, Obama's "23 months" is the time-line BUSH has already put in place, but he will surely take credit for it. I figure he will wait until his financial package is proved to fail miserably and then he will pull the Iraq "rabbit" out of his hat. It will likely be just before his next campaign. Those troops are going to be used as pawns! Obama is scripted. He is strategic in every move and he is good at it!
