What do you think?

“The president has said this is going to be left to his successor,” the Democratic presidential contender and New York senator said during a jammed rally in a fairground exhibit hall in Davenport, Iowa, as she concluded a two-day campaign swing in the state that kicks off the 2008 presidential campaign.

I'm not sure how she expects him to end the war if the enemy is still fighting.

I think it's clear that we are going to have to get someone in there who is willing to fight "Bush's war."
