Clinton Sees Some Troops Staying in Iraq if She Is Elected
WASHINGTON, March 14 — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton foresees a “remaining military as well as political mission” in Iraq, and says that if elected president, she would keep a reduced but significant military force there to fight Al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military.In a half-hour interview on Tuesday in her Senate office, Mrs. Clinton said the scaled-down American military force that she would maintain in Iraq after taking office would stay off the streets in Baghdad and would no longer try to protect Iraqis from sectarian violence — even if it descended into ethnic
cleansing.
Excuse me, I know people are not supposed to hold Hillary accountable to anything she said before the latest interview, but did she not say a few weeks ago she would "end the war" if elected president?
Ah, yes, I remember now. At the Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C. on February 2, 2007, Mrs. Clinton bellowed:
"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will."
Excuse me, but didn't Bill Clinton's wife actually vote FOR the Iraq war?
Or maybe Mrs. Rodham Clinton voted AGAINST the war before she voted FOR it.
Wait, I think I'm getting Democrat double talkers mixed up here.
