"Clinton and Obama, who have resisted the siren voices on the left of the Democratic Party demanding a faster and total withdrawal from Iraq."

Well, those who have been living on Earth, not in leftist looneyville know that in the Democratic debates on September 26 Clinton, Edwards and Obama all refused to rule out keeping US troops in Iraq beyond the end of their first term as President (ie 2013).

The ones living in Fairy Tale Land are the ones who still think a Democrat President is going to immediately or quickly cut and run from Iraq. Ain't gona happen.
