Clinton Says Iraq Surge Hasn’t Accomplished Goals
The Iraq war is back in the news and back in focus as an issue on the campaign trail. In a speech this morning outlining her goals to bring the troops home from Iraq, Hillary Clinton said that the Iraq surge has “not accomplished its goals.” “
Wright Controversy Sets Obama Back in Gallup Poll: Clinton Now at 47%, Obama at 45%
In the wake of the firestorm over Obama and his pastor Jeremiah Wright, Obama has dropped on the Daily Gallup and Hillary has regained the lead by a slim margin.
