Hillary's Withdrawal Plan More Realistic and Responsible
by David DiBello
Why withdraw troops from Iraq immediately when you might have to send them right back in? This is the course of action proposed by Obama to correct his perceived injustice in engaging Iraq, yet he is ready to send them back if need be, and they will be needed. So what is the worth of his protestations and plan of action?
Hillary proposes a more thoughtful, gradual withdrawal which will not endanger the remaining soldiers, or curtail the recent success of the surge, and will not imperil a new government in its infancy, which if it fails is a surefire way for America to return. We made this mistake in the Gulf War in not finshing what we started, and lived to regret it.
Americans have the luxury of never having to deal with the tyranny of Sadam again because of the war, and while most want to get out, they want to get out responsibly. Also, their opposition to the war grew as the conflict was mismanaged and casualties grew, but a plurality of Americans where in favor of the conflict to remove Sadam along with tracking down Osama back in 2002.
Once again a well thought out, rational and responsible plan is being advocated by Hillary, who tells people what they need and should hear, as opposed to the reactionary, extremist and inexperienced Barack Obama.
