Clinton (and other members of the Armed Forces Comm) Finally Get Pentagon Briefing

[rinsd]

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday finally got the Pentagon briefing on how the military is planning to withdraw troops from Iraq — and said much more work needs to be done.

The Democratic presidential front-runner, whose request for information on end-of-war planning was rebuffed two weeks ago by Undersecretary Eric Edelman, received a classified briefing from Edelman.

Clinton would not discuss what Edelman told her and other members of the Senate Armed Services Committee behind closed doors, but she said she expected more to come from the Pentagon and the Bush administration.

"I don't think that by any means answers the questions," said Clinton, D-N.Y., who has been seeking such a briefing for two months."

What a contrast to BO and his reckless comments on Pakistan!

I love the fact she doesn't let the Pentagon off the hook, she's like a pit-bull and will kick-ass to win the presidency in 2008!
