New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday criticized President Bush for his plan to veto a measure setting a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq.
"This is vetoing the will of the American people," Clinton said. "It is time for us to get them out of the middle of this sectarian civil war."
Clinton began her day by joining former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and his wife, Christie, for breakfast at their Mount Pleasant home. Clinton hopes to build support for her presidential campaign by joining the Vilsacks, who endorsed her last week.
Vilsack dropped out of the presidential race in February.
Clinton focused on opposition to the war in Iraq and renewable fuels.

No. Keep talking.
They will say anything, the problem is we don’t have an executive who bashes them back for it. And they need verbal bashing badly.
never argue with a fool
Hmmm. The Founders set the veto override percentage at 67 percent.
So our government is predicated on the President having the power to counter the will of the majority.
OK, who asked the Pantsuit her opinion?
Omniscient Hillary speaks for the entire American people! Her mobile phone bill must be quite large after taking all those calls.
“will of the American people”
Was to say it was fair to have one branch being democrat since the left complained republicans had all three.
It was however the legislative branch not the executive we elect to run wars.
This is the constant battle between the two branches for whose in charge.
If she wants out of Iraq so badly, she should have the balls to introduce a bill to cut off war funding. Bring it on.
So Hillary belows in mob rule. She doesn’t know that this is a represented Republic.
belows = believes
IMHO they will deny funding and unless Bush rallies public support the war is lost.
This is the post of the Year! We haven’t had anyone on the Republican side who will call these dims out for their positions! We need someone with some BALLS that will hold a press conference everyday and call these people out!
The will of the American people is best reflected by our all volunteer military. Those fighting in Iraq and elsewhere to give the rest of us freedom and security come from all 50 states and a wide range of backgrounds. They embody the spirit of America.
Must be what the polls told her to say today.
Ah, but we military types are all too stupid to do anything else, aren’t we? That means she can ignore what we do and think.
Colonel, USAFR
Wow, Obama shows himself to be the only one on the Dem side with a lick of common political sense. He knows the correct political play...for Dems to say “we made our point, now here is the money...its on you Pres. Bush”.
Reid Hillary and Pelosi on the other hand look to be sqawking about going another round.
Very interesting.
