Outside The Beltway (James Joyner) Clinton Would Keep Troops in Iraq if Elected

Reihl World View (Dan Reihl) Okay, So Hillary Is Just Plain Stupid

Hillary has decided to be more “nuanced” when it comes to what she would do with Iraq as President. This is rich. While her party is attempting to pass legislation to micro-manage the war, Hillary would instead rely on the advice of the military commanders. Huh? And it gets better. The urban war is a “loser.” However, she would obviously have plenty of troops in Iraq to protect our “remaining vital national security interests in Iraq”.

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Clinton: I’ll Ignore Genocide

This statement shows a complete lack of strategic and tactical thinking on the part of someone who want to assume the role of Commander in Chief. The key to stabilizing Iraq and beating the terrorists who have nested in Anbar is restoring order to its capital. If the central government falls, the other goals she mentions — deterring Iran, protecting the Kurds, and so on — will go right out the window. If Baghdad falls into utter chaos and ethnic cleansing, the rest of the nation will follow suit in short order, and Anbar will be the least of our problems.
