Clinton wants all U.S. troops out of Iraq when Bush leaves office

DAVENPORT, Iowa: U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that U.S. President George W. Bush should withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq before he leaves office, saying it would be "the height of irresponsibility" to pass the war along to the next commander in chief.
"This was his decision to go to war with an ill-conceived plan and an incompetently executed strategy," the Democratic senator said her in first presidential campaign tour through the early-voting state of Iowa.
"We expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office" in January 2009, the former first lady said.
The White House condemned Clinton's comments as a partisan attack that undermines U.S. soldiers.
About 130,000 American troops are in Iraq, and Bush has announced this month he was sending 21,500 more as part of his new war strategy.
Pressed during a forum to defend her vote to authorize force in Iraq before the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, Clinton responded by increasing her criticism of Bush.
"I am going to level with you, the president has said this is going to be left to his successor," Clinton said. "I think it is the height of irresponsibility and I really resent it."
Bush describes Iraq as the central front in the global fight against terrorism that began after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "The war on terror will be a problem for the next president. Presidents after me will be confronting ... an enemy that would like to strike the United States again," he recently told USA Today newspaper.
One questioner asked Clinton if her track record showed she could stand up to "evil men" around the world.

They will be out of Iraq. The Iranian problem will be taken care by then.
It's all about her.
She just doesn't want to worry about Iraq.
Well, guess what? This war on Terror will last far into the next presidency. If she isn't up to the task, we will pick someone who is.
The article said -- "Clinton wants all U.S. troops out of Iraq when Bush leaves office"
Well, we can see where the Democrats are going with "the war" -- if it wasn't already obvious by now...

P.S. -- Aren't the terrorists just "licking their chops" for a Democrat win in 2008!
Well maybe the next president will see it as an unfinished job that needs finishing.
bttt
An Iraq plan she voted for by the way...
Did she make Bubba clean up for himself over in eastern Europe?
Kind of like that president before Bush, who whistled past the graveyard rather than meet terrorism head on.
Then she needs to shut the @#*& up and get out of his way!!!
"Just kidding!!"
BARF
This is rich, coming from the wife of a man who NEVER did anything, except get bj's under his desk......
Well....your rapist husband left quite the legacy too.
Perfect color for a pig.
Who are the morons in the background?
Two long years we'll have to deal with the media hanging on her every word. I may become the next Rachel Ray because I'll be spending alot of time on the Cooking Network!
Same OLD Question every time Hillary starts her screeching.
Real nice sound bite Senator. HOW are you going to do that?
Hillary says blah blah blah blah blah blah
BARF indeed.
This is the most malicious, irresponsible, profoundly immoral anti American screed possible.
