SAC CITY, IOWA -- Campaigning in northwestern Iowa on Saturday, Hillary Rodham Clinton told voters that a Senate resolution on Iran she supported has helped bring that country to the negotiating table while stemming the violence in Iraq. Clinton said tougher economic sanctions have been "a contributing factor to Iranians' backing off."

"Iranians have stopped sending improvised explosive devices into Iraq to be used against our soldiers. They have backed off from sending a lot of their agents into Iraq."

Too bad the reporter doesn't balance this absurdity with a little truth from our commanders in the field.

it had to happen eventually.

at least giver her partial credit for being the first democrat to admit: we are winning in Iraq.

within 6 months everyone will have to come up with an explanation about how come we are winning. for Hillary its going to be a little tough to admit petraeus did it after her moronic “suspension of disbelief” quote.

ha ha ha

I can’t believe that fat hog is trying to take credit for anything positive in Iraq. What a disgusting creature.

I'm sure it’s getting results.

Like an agreement for eight figures in cash into Chelsea's Swiss bank account to make this all go away as soon as Hillary's president.

Yeah right...I suspect that this is the real reason:

The Sociopath is clueless. Every time Iran gets a new sanction placed on them, they’ve built their own domestic industry where they could. Is the woman stupid enough to think that sanctions can’t be overcome by the Petrodollars flowing into Iranian accounts on a daily basis? Sure they hurt some..but they haven’t managed cripple Iran yet after...*how* long?

It’s worked so well with Cuba....Cuba had the Soviets..Iran has Billions to burn for the Millions sanctions deny them.

Not sayin sanctions are useless, but they are not a whole solution.
