1. Did she say where they need to be?
I mean, I could say "there is no more reason for our troops to be in Iraq!!" and not get elected either. :P

10. I am just relieved because I thought she wanted to keep them there
She said not long ago they would be there until at least 2013.

Now she is sounding more like what I want in a candidate.

I still don't favor her. I am actually torn between Obama and Edwards. But now I know I can vote for the Dem candidate. She was the one I couldn't vote for. But if she wants to bring the troops home, I can vote for her.

17. Sorry I was unclear
I can now vote for her if I have to.

Before when she said the troops would be there until 2013, no way could I support her.

I would prefer a different candidate. But I CAN support her. And I feel very relieved.

16. That is incorrect.
Hilary never said she would keep the troops there until 2013. They were all asked to make a pledge to bring them home by then. They all refused to make this pledge.

33. You couldn't have heard it!
It was a question in a debate regarding a pledge.

Yes, I'm sure you heard it here, but it was wrong.

12. Just wait until tomorrow
there will be a new poll-tested position.

Not to mention, she was instrumental in getting us into Iraq to begin with, without even bothering to read the NIE. She actually said that "she trusted Bush to do the right thing".

Oops, I think she's backtracking already...

19. You guys are so easy, it's fucking ridiculous
I honest to god don't care who you vote for, but if you can't figure out that she's shifting what she says based on polls, well then I just don't even know what to say to you.

22. Then why will she wait to take them out?
She'll "start" within 60 days...why wait if there's no reason for them to be there?

24. Candidates should change their positions if their positions do NOT
reflect the people. That is what "the decider" has never understood, the arrogant sob!

25. Good news and bad news.
The good news is that they finally respect anti-war people enough to pander to us.

The bad news is that it's just pandering.

26. HILLARY IS A CORPORATE SHILL
Plain and simple. Look who her greatest benefactors are : Defense and other assorted lobbyists.

She is BUSHCO BLUE. Republican-lite. The worst candidate for our time.

Edwards would fight those who support her.

Edwards knows the real enemy, the true authors of War, are those who PUSH FOR IT: The Military-Industrial-Complex.

Hillary is their Dem choice.

Murdoch contributed to Hillary...nuff said!
