Senator Hillary Clinton, front runner of the Democratic presidential nomination says that the prospects of Iraq are bleak. In an interview with the Concord Monitor, Senator Clinton said that she is not sure if there are any good outcomes for Iraq but she is hopeful that there are less “bad options” that the government can take in handling the situation.
Due to Clinton's lead in the Democratic primary, her moves are positioning herself well for a general election against the Democrats according to USAElectionPolls.com. In case the war is seen as being a success once the general election rolls around, she will not have ruined her chances by claiming that we need to get out immediately as other candidates are doing.
In describing the situation in Iraq, Senator Clinton said that the presence of the United States in Iraq merely “keeps the cap on” violence and it does not really facilitate the healing of the nation. Senator Clinton believes that until such time when Iraq takes responsibility for the security of its nation, the presence of the Unites States forces will not really make an impact in promoting peace and political stability in the area. She believes that the withdrawal of US troupes from the area will not really generate any positive results unless the Iraqis themselves decide to unite and become one nation.
Although Senator Clinton strongly believes that the US troupes should withdraw from Iraq as soon as possible, she also acknowledges that such withdrawal of military support could have some severe political impact in the area. Since Iraq as a nation is unstable, she believes that it is now very much vulnerable from attacks from its enemy nations. She pointed out that Iran will most likely take advantage of the situation to seize control of Iraq. Such situation can be very detrimental to the people living in Iraq including the many Americans who are currently working in the area.
