What do you think with happen with the war if Clinton gets elected president?

Don't you remember the Clinton presidency ? He's the slug that ran out of cheeks to turn each of the six times this country was attacked, during his watch. What makes you think it would be any different if she got in, Slick will be doing the thinking for her.

Hopefully the dumbed down voting public will have recognized the short comings of the Clinton's, by then. It's pointless to listen to debates when Hillary is included, it's her handlers who dream up the crap she recites. She's just a friggin parrot in all this debating.

If history is any indicator of what could happen if the Clinton's got back into office, think in terms of large budget reductions for the military. If the US is still in conflict, the troops could find themselves doing without certain vital resources. This is exactly what happened to the Rangers in Somalia, only then, Clinton refused them the resources they requested. This refusal ultimately cost the Rangers eighteen of their own.

I think the war would come to American soil.

She isn't going to bring troops home that soon, the decision will be made on the basis of private polls taken after she takes office. She won't do anything drastic to upset her 2012 relection campaign.

You basically have to look at her policies on the Iraq war. She had said that she won't vote for any more money to support the four-year-old war in Iraq without a plan to start bringing U.S. troops home.

Clinton supported the Iraq War authorization in 2002, only to regret it five years later as her campaign for the presidency got under way. If elected, she would â€œconvene the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the secretary of defense, and the National Security Council and direct them to draw up a clear, viable plan to bring our troops home, starting within the first 60 days of my administration.â€ She would negotiate with all countries bordering Iraq, including Syria and Iran, to explore peaceful solutions for the region. She would fund Iraqi forces â€œonly to the extent that such training is actually working.â€

We all know that politicians are lots of talk. The democrats want the war in Iraq to be over sooner than the Republican party. To be honest, I think she would do a decent job but, .....I think Obama would do a better job!

She will not likely change much in Iraq. The troop numbers will be drawn down at the same pace they would be if President Bush were still in office. To pull all of us out too soon could easily result in a genocide. She can't afford to have as much blood on her hands as Bill has from Rwanda.

I don't think she would personally make any decisions. I feel that her running for office is just another way for her husband to be running the country. She would just be the face, and he would be doing all the decision making. How she ever got to be a Senator for New York I have no idea.

Yo it's Me

She has already said that once she is elected, we cannot pull out abruptly and that we need a plan. She hasn't offered a plan, so I think that answers your question.

Read up on Nixon, he got us out of Vietnam, at the beginning of his second term, Hillary is very much like Nixon (although it remains to be seen if she will be as good at foreign policy as Nixon).

While I'm sorry for your son (hubby is looking at a possible 3rd go round as well) that's the way it is in the military these days & truthfully at least he's been home some.
Clinton can not just yank troops out without major repercussions as others have stated on here. Her husband was terrible for the military - and I would hate to see what she would be like.

Mrs. Goddess

Unfortunately, I don't trust her. So, my answer is "who knows?". With the election coming up, they are all talking out of both sides of their mouth.
You and your family have been through way too much - I will pray for his safe return. God Bless.

What amazes me is that the Dems. all cry out to bring the troops home NOW and yet, Hillary a Dem also now is saying she won't be bringing them home and they support it! Bunch of wafflers!!!

his woman giggling

She'll pull out and leave some behind to be tortured and God only knows what else. Look at her hubby's first 4 years and the sh** he pulled on our military.

There will be a Balad AB and a Green Zone for the next 50 years.

IMHO on course, but we see from the troop surge exactly what will happen if we announce troop withdrawals. Since the surge is unsustainable, lets see what happens when we draw down.

DOOM

We'll stay in Iraq. We'll stay there regardless of who wins the Presidential election. I don't believe Ron Paul for a second.

Sadly, most of the current presidential hopefuls do not plan to end the war anytime soon. Most prefer to have phased withdrawals which will take time. Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel are the only Democrats that are trying to end the war quickly. The link provided provides every candiate's position on withdrawal and other important issue.

theanswer read it again please

I hope your son is okay. At sometime I want the American to stop calling this a war, and call it what it is an act of international policing so the debate can be founded in the best way.
Clinton has no real choice but to finish the job in Iraq to leave now would be just a cruel as starting the war. As far as Afghanstan is concerned we must ask why are troups there it may be because Pakistan has nukes as much as anytghing we do not want the nukes getting in th hands of those who would blow New York up with one.
Good luck

HO HO HO HIC

clinton wont get elected and 3 times they must like your son

PATRICIA MS

I don't think ANYONE can get us out of this mess we are in now. Rep or Dem. Pray for peace.
