Clinton Tries to Boost Anti-War Credentials

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), in an effort to overcome her vote in support of the Iraq war, is continuing to boost her anti-war credentials.

In a new campaign video, Clinton strongly voices her objection to a troop surge, saying that “sending more troops to execute the same flawed plan makes no sense.”

Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, calls for troop levels to be capped, a greater effort from Iraq to provide its own security and a certification from the Secretary of Defense that all U.S. troops in Iraq have all the equipment and training they need to be safe.
