In her speech to the DNC last month, Evita said "If we in Congress don't end this war before January of 2009, as president I will."
Now, in an interview with the NY Slimes she offers a "more nuanced position than the one she has provided at her campaign events, where she has backed the goal of “bringing the troops home.”
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 military force there to fight Al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military.
Her "scaled-down American military force that she would maintain 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."
Nothing like another good ethnic cleansing under a Clinton's watch, eh? I guess she's now almost in line with Michael Moore's "there isn’t much you can do ‘til the smoke settles and blood is mopped up" position - at least for today. |
