RNC: They Said It Flashback! Hillary Was Right?!WASHINGTON, July 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In March, Sen. Clinton
Questioned Obama's Pledge To Withdraw Troops From Iraq In 16 Months, Saying It
Was Words You Can't Rely On. Sen. Clinton: "Senator Obama promises to withdraw
fromIraq within 16 months. But his top foreign policy adviser said he's not
really going to rely on that plan. I guess that plan is just words, too. We
need a president who will solve problems. Who will fight for our families long
after the speeches are over and the cameras are gone. That's the choice in
this campaign: Solutions you can rely on -- versus words you can't." ( (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080519/RNCLOGO ) Hillary Was Right?!: On Thursday, Obama Said He Would Slow Troop Withdrawals If Commanders On

Brigades Per Month. Question: "If the general says to you, we can't safely and
responsibly move one to two brigades out a month -" Obama: "[I]'ve said

the language, that as commander-in-chief, I would always reserve the right to
do what's best in America's national interests. And if it turned out, for
example, that, you know, we had to, in certain months, slow the pace because
of the safety of American troops in terms of getting combat troops out, of
course we would take that into account. I would be a poor
commander-in-chief if I didn't take facts on the ground into account." (Sen.
In March 2008, Obama Said He Would "Immediately Begin To Remove Our Troops
From Iraq And Have Them Out In 16 Months." "In order to end this war
responsibly, I will immediately begin to remove our troops fromIraq. We can
responsibly remove one to two combat brigades each month. If we start with the
number of brigades we have inIraq today, we can remove all of them 16
months." (Sen.
