I think the problem that I have with a lot of the Dems is that they all seem so indignant that Iraq has become such an unpopular war, after they voted for it in the first place. The only viable candidate who didn't is Obama and he also seems like he has the most levelheaded approach to the U.S.'s withdraw from Iraq.

Hillary says she won't apologize for voting for the war and I don't think she should. That's the right move, otherwise, she's just going to look soft. The problem I have, though, is that I don't like her plan of setting a date ahead of the bipartisan Iraq study group's expectations...what was the group assembled for if no one intends to listen to it?

I, personally, don't think we should have gone in in the first place. However, the fact that argument's done because now the troops are there and there's nothing we can do about it. At this point, the best case scenario would probably be some sort of phased withdraw and I think the study group proposed some of the best ideas.
