Hillary voted for it. Senator Obama was against it.

Hillary sided with John McCain and the republicans. Senator Obama did not.

Hillary = more of the same. Senator Obama = change.

1. Obama March 2, 2007: My plan allows for a imted number of troops to remain in Iraq
That is why I advocate a phased redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq to begin no later than May first with the goal of removing all combat forces from Iraq by March 2008.

In a civil war where no military solution exists, this redeployment remains our best leverage to pressure the Iraqi government to achieve the political settlement between its warring factions that can slow the bloodshed and promote stability.

My plan also allows for a limited number of U.S. troops to remain and prevent Iraq from becoming a haven for international terrorism and reduce the risk of all-out chaos.

------------

But what is a limited number ?
What kind of forces ?
What kind of situations should US forces engage ?
How long should they be there ?

2. She voted for it - 23 brave men and women of the Senate did not
To her everlasting shame in my opinion and their everlasting credit

5. Most Democrats in Congress Voted Against War
Why, oh why, would some elevate those who voted for war? It's simply nuts.

8. Good practice for her if she wins
because McCain will, too, to portray her as a flip-flopper.
