Clinton Urges Start Of Iraq Pullout In 90 Days
2007-02-18
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the early front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has called for a 90-day deadline to start pulling American troops from Iraq.

Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, has been criticized by some Democrats for supporting authorization of the war in 2002 and for not renouncing her vote as she seeks the U.S. presidency in next year's election. "Now it's time to say the redeployment should start in 90 days or the Congress will revoke authorization for this war," the New York senator said in a video on her campaign Web site, repeating a point included in a bill she introduced on Friday.

#9  I am pleased to see Hillary and her fellow Democrat underminers on record endorsing the abandonment of Iraq because it will make it that much harder for them to weasel out of their position if/when we start to demonstrate real progress in stabilizing Iraq. In this scenario John McCain will reap the political dividends of having recommended a heavier footprint strategy and the Dems will be politically scarred for another generation as so soft on national defense that they're unelectable.

We're witnessing the Democrats' attempts to destroy the Republic, with the MSM cheering them on.

#5  Democracy will only prevail when the nation has a common vision and the elected leaders work together toward that vision. We are in the midst of a civil war of another nature. The people are getting lied to by the MSM, who support the far left, the far left have adopted socialist leftist ideals and blame the government. They act as if they are not part of the process. Hillary and Pelosie look at themselves as a modern Che or Marx leading the revolution. The Democratic party has declaired the whole process a sham. They came in on a Saturday to conspire, hold a vote against our nation's leadership and the entire Democtatic process. They knew it was treason or they would have made it a binding vote right from the start. They were just testing the waters to see how the American public would react. Any governing body that assembles outside of the formal process to condemn their leader and vote to put the process in contempt are doing nothing more than setting the stage for the revolution they were preaching for in the 60's. Iraq is the least important problem we have here.
