I love how counterinsurgency expert Clinton takes on the brain trust behind Gen. Petraeus [/s].
Clinton had a few days to think about her position on the surge and “changed her mind”. Here she is addressing the VFW Convention on August 20, 2007. Clinton really is dumber than dirt.
“White House hopeful Hillary Clinton is taking heat Tuesday from some of her Democratic rivals over recent comments suggesting the president’s surge policy in Iraq is “working.”
The remarks came during an address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention Monday, in which the New York Democrat said the president’s Iraq policy was leading to success in “some areas.”
“We’ve begun to change tactics in Iraq, and in some areas, particularly in Al Anbar province, it’s working,” she said. “We’re just years too late in changing our tactics.”
“We can’t ever let that happen again,” Clinton added. “We can’t be fighting the last war. We have to keep preparing to fight the new war.”
