Start the Pullout in 90 Days...Or Else

Hillary Clinton is clearly concerned about her standing with the anti-war wacky left. I previously posted about her various ways not to say she made a mistake in voting for the war, and now she's planning to introduce a bill to revoke authorization for the war unless Bush and the generals follow her guidelines for withdrawing U.S. forces:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - 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.

Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, has been criticized by some Democrats for supporting authorization of the war in 2002 and for not renouncing her vote as she seeks the U.S. presidency in next year's election.

"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.

In October 2002, Congress authorized President George W. Bush to take military action in Iraq before the U.S.-led invasion of March 2003.
Hillary doesn't know squat about running a war - it's all about politics. For more on her lack of common sense, don't miss the Investor's Business Daily editorial referenced in this post.
