Clinton, Obama, Edwards At ASFCME All Agree: America Is Staying In The Middle East
By Eric Kleefeld | bio
While the top three Democratic candidates made sure to define their Iraq positions in strong opposition to the Bush Administration's in their speeches before AFSCME today, every one of them nevertheless made a stark acknowedgment: To a person, they all seemed to concede that a total pullout from Iraq is not feasible, and all three suggested that America will remain in the Middle East in some capacity for some time to come, perhaps years.

We have video highlights of Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama all holding forth on their post-occupation vision after the jump.

At first Hillary Clinton took a strong line for pulling out of Iraq: "And if our president doesn't end our involvement in Iraq, when I am president, I will." But as this montage will show, she nevertheless made many concessions to realpolitik, saying she would pull combat troops — as opposed to all troops — and discussed what a future American presence in Iraq might look like.
