Hillary Clinton yesterday called President George W. Bush's defense of his Iraq war policy and a mixed administration assessment of progress in the conflict "more of the same." She reiterated her call for a troop withdrawal.
"This report could have been given a year ago, or two years ago, or even three years ago," the Democratic Presidential candidate told the New Hampshire Union Leader and UnionLeader.com in a telephone interview from Detroit.
She said the administration's progress report was predictable.
"We know that if we have intense military presence in a certain neighborhood, we can drive the violence down," she said. "But we also know that the violence doesn't cease; it just pop up somewhere else because the Iraqi government is not pursuing any political track that can lead to a resolution of the outstanding issues."
