Hillary Urges Start of Troop Pullout in 90 Days
On Hillary Clinton's website today, she unveils a new message on Iraq.
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.
"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.
As to Hillary's bill, introduced yesterday:
Clinton's bill would cap the number of troops in Iraq at the January 1 level, prior to Bush's decision to add 21,500 to the approximately 130,000 soldiers already there.... [and] would require congressional authorization to exceed her proposed cap on U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
Hillary also has a clear message for President Bush:
"If George Bush doesn't end the war before he leaves office, when I'm president, I will," Clinton said in the video.
