1. Thats where he will own McCain in the debate

[Unsane]

2. Agreed. That is a dealbreaker for me. Unless she says that, I cannot vote for her.

[aquart]

3. You weren't going to anyway. Please.

[maximusveritas]

4. She has said so in the past, but not in this debate

It's impossible to get everything across, so I don't blame her for that.

5. Check out Senator Clinton's Website:

"I have also called on the Administration to be clear that the United States will not seek and will not maintain permanent bases in Iraq. Attempts to establish such permanent bases would damage U.S. interests in Iraq and the broader region, and I will continue to strongly oppose such efforts"

Okay with you?

6. 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.

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

And we can ask...

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