Obama holding up troop withdrawal from Iraq?

The New York Post is reporting that Obama spent part of his trip to Iraq trying to convince Iraqi leaders to hold off on agreeing to US troop withdrawals until after the election.

That would serve nicely to not only allow Democrats to assail President Bush for not withdrawing troops, but also to let Obama (assuming an Obama presidency) take full credit for when troops are withdrawn.

So, according to a large news organization, Obama, 0n the same trip where he passed on the opportunity to meet with wounded military, tried in private to keep them in harm's way longer than needed, ostensibly for personal political gain.
