Clinton Responds To Bush Iraq Speech: "No Military Solution To The Sectarian Fighting In Iraq"

| August 22, 2007 11:55 AM


Hillary Clinton office released a statement Wednesday morning, responding to President Bush's speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

"Our brave troops have been doing everything asked of them for four and a half years. And they have been doing everything asked of them since the Administration announced the surge. The surge was designed to give the Iraqi government time to take steps to ensure a political solution to the situation. It has failed to do so. The White House's report in September won't change that. It is abundantly clear that there is no military solution to the sectarian fighting in Iraq. We need to stop refereeing the war, and start getting out now."

6. Good he got it right the first time

Have to wonder whether she bungled her message, pandered to the VFW, or exactly what she was doing.

3. That's the right message. The Iraqi government is out to lunch.

Our soldiers are doing the work. And chimp'n little is yelling the sky will fall if we leave.

4. I wish people would start blaming the dim one who started this whole

illegal occupation to begin with. The Iraqis did not ask for this, so why should they be blamed if it's not 'working'?

5. The surge. " It has failed to do so. "

And what was it, three days ago she said "The surge is working."?

People wonder why I don't trust her?
