Are the Democrats flip-flopping over Iraq again?

If I was an American and part of the anti-war movement, I would be pretty pissed and wonder who the heck would actually get the boys and girls home from Iraq. These are excerpts from the latest Democratic telecast or debate, from what I understand.
   We all know the dangers of quoting out of context, so if anyone has the full transcript, please feed in a comment and I’ll make sure it’s linked. I am always suspicious of any message with the words Rush Limbaugh in it.

Tim Russert: Senator Obama, will you pledge that by January 2013, the end of your first term, more than five years from now, that there will be no troops, US troops in Iraq?
Barack Obama: I think it’s hard to project four years from now. I think it would be irresponsible. We don’t know what contingencies will be out there.

Rush Limbaugh: Senator Clinton, you have said that you will not pledge to have all troops out by the end of your first term, 2013. Why not?
Hillary Clinton: It is very difficult to know what we’re going to be inheriting. You know, we do not know, walking into the White House in January 2009, what we’re going to find.

Rush Limbaugh: Senator Edwards, will you commit that at the end of your first term, 2013, that all US troops will be out of Iraq?
John Edwards: I cannot make that commitment.

   Remember, folks, a lot of the Democratic candidates voted for the war in Iraq, and they’re still for it, it seems. I could have sworn that only a few weeks ago, the Senator from New York pledged to have US troops back.
   Maybe it was all conditional: it’s hard to tell with sound bites in the media. But these little nuggets will be enough for some.
   I can bet that the conservative media are rubbing their hands in glee over another chance to say, ‘Flip flop,’ regardless of whether any of the leading Democratic candidates for the White House have actually changed their positions.
   Whatever the case, Iraq could be set to be another US base as Germany, Okinawa and South Korea are, regardless of whether a Republican or Democrat gets in to the White House.
   And it makes candidates like Fred Thompson look pretty good: I’ll stay the course, but I’ll drag the Frenchies in. Darn that Arthur Branch and that straight-up Tennessee image.
