Hillary Has A Plan To Get Out Of IraqGot this in an email today.
Dear xxxx,
Right now, there isn't one of us who isn't thinking about Iraq. That's why I went there recently: to meet with the commanders on the ground, to talk with Iraqi leaders, and to speak to the men and women who are fighting this war so heroically.
I came back even more determined to stop the president's escalation of troops into Iraq and to start the redeployment of troops out of Iraq. So I outlined a plan, and on Friday, I introduced it to Congress as the Iraq Troop Protection and Reduction Act.
My plan accomplishes a number of goals. It stops the president's escalation. It protects our troops by making sure they aren't sent to Iraq without all of the equipment and training they need. It puts an end to the blank check for the Iraqi government. It calls for an international conference to bring other countries together to help forge a stable future for Iraq. Finally, my plan would begin a phased redeployment of our troops out of Iraq. I've been pushing for this for almost two years.
For more details about my plan, please watch Friday's HillCast, the first of what I hope will be a regular series of web broadcasts:

The Iraq Troop Protection and Reduction Act is a roadmap out of Iraq. I hope the president takes this road. If he does, he should be able to end the war before he leaves office. But let's not kid ourselves. From everything we've seen, this president is going down a very different path. He's fighting to escalate the war, not to end it.
I know we're at the start of a presidential campaign, but I think all Democrats should be focused on working together to push the president to change course. We have to end this war in a smart way, not a Republican or a Democratic way, but a way that makes us safer and gets our troops home as soon as possible. That's what I'll be fighting for.
But let me be clear, if George Bush doesn't end this war before he leaves office, when I'm president, I will.
Please watch the HillCast for more details of my plan:

Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton

Why don't we just set up some form of new monarchy where it's required for you to be a descendant or marry into the Bush and/or Clinton families to become president?

You mean it isn't?

It's starting to look that way, maybe Jeb Bush and Roger Clinton can run in the future.

Just out of curiosity, who are you going to vote for yankee?
And why?

She's going to vote for Rudy because he's from New York and wears a Yankee cap. That does qualify you to be President of the United States doesn't it?

I honestly hope he's the Republican nominee. If someone thinks Bill Clinton had moral issue's wait until they drag up Rudi's past.
