Reply #61: Hmmm. This was also from 2005, on Meet the Press:

SCHIEFFER: "Well, what do you mean 'long time'? Do you mean years?"

Sen. CLINTON: "If I could just add to what Senator Graham said, because I think it's really important we underscore this. Senator McCain made the point earlier today, which I agree with, and that is, it's not so much a question of time when it comes to American military presence for the average American; I include myself in this. But it is a question of casualties. We don't want to see our young men and women dying and suffering these grievous injuries that so many of them have. We've been in South Korea for 50-plus years. We've been in Europe for 50-plus. We're still in Okinawa with respect to protection there coming out of World War II."

"You know, we have been in places for very long periods of time. And in recent history, we've made a commitment to Bosnia and Kosovo, and I think what is different is the feeling that we're on a track that is getting better and that we can see how the Iraqi government will begin to assume greater and greater responsibility. The elections were key to that. The training, equipment, equipping and motivating of the Iraqi security forces is key to that. But so is our understanding that if we were to artificially set a deadline of some sort, that would be like a green light to the terrorists, and we can't afford to do that."

The simple fact that she ever thought that American troops could remain in country in Iraq without being targeted 24/7 speaks to how delusional she really has been about the war and occupation.
