“It’s Working”
Posted on | August 21, 2007
Sen. Hillary Clinton lays to rest the idea that she wants to end the occupation of Iraq.
In Iraq, she said, the government must take responsibility for itself and its people.
“I do not think the Iraqis are ready to do what they have to do for themselves yet,” she said. “I think it is unacceptable for our troops to be caught in the crossfire of a sectarian civil war while the Iraqi government is on vacation.”
Clinton said new tactics have brought some success against insurgents, particularly in Iraq’s Anbar province.
“It’s working. We’re just years too late in changing our tactics,” she said. “We can’t ever let that happen again. We can’t be fighting the last war. We have to keep preparing to fight the new war.”
Missing from this story is any trace of Hillary’s old promise to end our involvement. Our troops will be stuck there as long as the heir-apparent to the White House likes what she sees.
