Unless I’m mistaken, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has found her campaign voice and George Bush, if he has a brain, had better buy a codpiece. Get him, Hillary!
Newsday reports:
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that President Bush has made a mess of Iraq and it is his responsibility to “extricate” the United States from the situation before he leaves office.It would be “the height of irresponsibility” to pass the war along to the next commander in chief, she said.
“This was his decision to go to war with an ill-conceived plan and an incompetently executed strategy,” the Democratic senator from New York said her in initial presidential campaign swing through Iowa.“We expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office” in January 2009, the former first lady said.
“I am going to level with you, the president has said this is going to be left to his successor,” Clinton said. “I think it is the height of irresponsibility and I really resent it.”
Naturally, the beleagured Bush White House condemned Clinton’s comments as a partisan attack that undermines U.S. soldiers.
