The reporter thought his comment that Iraq is now a “Civil War” was “the story.” But I don’t agree. It’s this:
“He also said Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., could win the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, but that she would lose in the general election.”
On Iraq:”He wants U.S. troops to be redeployed to Kuwait and areas around Iraq. He predicted there will be fewer than 100,000 troops by midsummer and that the pullout by the end of the year.”
“We’re not cutting and running. We’re giving the Iraqis incentive to take over,” he said.”-from the AP story in today’s Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (PA).
With this and Kerry’s position out in front on the filibuster, not a good day for Hillary.
