Clinton Slams Bush updated
This is a statement from Hillary Clinton, just released, in response to Bush’s drivel this
morning.
WASHINGTON, DC – “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.â€
“Stop refereeing.” Beautiful. “Start getting out now.” The bottom line.
UPDATE: Emphasis has been added above. Clinton is the first and so far the only major politician, let alone presidential candidate, referring to what Petreaus will deliver on 9/11/07 as “The White House’s report.”
