Clinton urges start of Iraq pullout in 90 days

Feb 17, 2007 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the
early front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has called for
a 90-day deadline to start pulling American troops from Iraq.

Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, has been criticized by some
Democrats for supporting authorization of the war in 2002 and for not renouncing
her vote as she seeks the U.S. presidency in next year's election.

"Now it's time to say the redeployment should start in 90 days or the Congress
will revoke authorization for this war," the New York senator said in a video
on her campaign Web site, repeating a point included in a bill she introduced
on Friday.

In offering what she called a roadmap out of Iraq, Clinton said a visit there last
month had made her more determined to start what she called a long overdue
withdrawal.

1. Well, she just moved up a notch with me.

This is good, she has a national voice/platform. :toast:

[whistle]

2. Could the House swing over to impeaching Bush/Cheney, that's

...the only way to end this nightmare

3. I applaud ANYONE moving toward ending this nightmare.

Brava.

[PSPS]

4. This is significant

Nobody has put it so bluntly before, so this is a significant shift in tone on the subject. The fact that Clinton said this, after having stated that bush has no authority to attack Iran, makes it seem as though the wheels have been set in motion to give the hook to this criminal enterprise.

At least I hope so. Let's see some real follow-through on this.

Bush must be having a tantrum on the floor over this.

5. I am a huge Clinton

critic and this is a good move. I guess if we keep a huge amount of pressure on these people they will come around..if they want to win bad enough. By the time the primaries roll around, the anti-war sentiment will be HUGE.
