DAVENPORT, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that President Bush should withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq before he leaves office, asserting it would be "the height of irresponsibility" to pass the war along to the next commander in chief.
"This was his decision to go to war with an ill-conceived plan and an incompetently executed strategy," the Democratic senator from New York said her
in (sic) initial presidential campaign swing through Iowa.
"We expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office" in January 2009, the former first lady said.
Fine, as far as it goes. What she has so far failed to say and what any credible Democratic candidate must say is that Bush had no good reason at all to go to war with Iraq in the first place. She should be calling for his impeachment.
Also from the same piece:
The White House condemned Clinton's comments as a partisan attack that
undermines U.S. soldiers.
The Democrats have to find a way to stuff the "undemines" mime down the White House's throat every time it is uttered. It seems to be all they've got left to hang their hats on.
