What can I say? She's right...

Well, partly right.

Clinton, seeking the Democratic nomination for president, praised the work that soldiers have done in Iraq but described the government there as "on vacation," leaving American troops in the middle of a sectarian war.

Now that she acknowledges the surge is showing signs of success, how do her ideas for U.S. military policy in Iraq adjust as the facts on the ground change? They don't.

When it comes to Iraq, I have to hand it to McCain, who is taking serious political risk; he gets the unfortunate reality for America our troops, and the good Iraqis.
