Hillary Clinton Opposes Troop Surge


Senator Hillary Clinton opposes a troop surge in Iraq, reports the AP.

Senator Clinton also weighs in on the credibility of Bush.

"I am not in favor of doing that unless it's part of a larger plan," Clinton said. "I am not in favor of sending more troops to continue what our men and women have been told to do with the government of Iraq pulling the rug out from under them when they actually go after some of the bad guys."

Clinton, who voted in 2002 to authorize military intervention in Iraq, said she was wary of increased military presence in the war-torn country.

"I'm not going to believe this president again," Clinton said.
