Hillary Clinton launches a weekly series of videos, starting with the issue of issues: Iraq. “You need to know what I’m thinking and I need to know what you’re thinking and right now, there isn’t one of us who isn’t thinking about Iraq.” She brags about going there and says, “I came back even more determined to stop the President’s escalation of troops into Iraq and to start the redeployment of troops out of Iraq.” She talks about her plan: capping the number of troops at January levels, mandating equipment and training for troops sent, setting benchmarks for the Iraqi government, convening an international conference, and starting a “phased redeployment of our troops out of Iraq” within 90 days. “Let me be clear, if George Bush doesn’t end this war before he leaves office, when I’m President, I will.” The video made news.
