I thought I heard her once say that President Bush has refused to bring home the troops, and that on day 1 she will do so. And hasn’t she said pretty definitively that she will withdraw the troops— maybe not precipitously, but quickly? Maybe I have been asleep at the wheel.
I think you are close to the truth on that. I’m not saying that she’s as strong as McCain on the war on terror, but she is hardly weak.
