“Another choice is Senator Obama, who has promised to bring combat troops out in 16 months, but according to his foreign policy adviser, you can’t count on him to do that,” Clinton criticized.

Powers recently resigned from the Obama campaign after an interview surfaced in which she called Clinton a “monster.”

Unlike McCain or Obama, Clinton told voters “Here’s what you can count on me to do: provide the leadership to end this war quickly and responsibly.”

Clinton says, as president, she plans to meet defense officials to develop a proposal to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, adopt troop rotation schedules proposed by Rep. John Murtha (D.-Pa.), remove all private military contractors from Iraq, end no-bid contracts and pressure the Iraq government to spend oil revenues.

She says she will also pursue aggressive diplomatic actions with nations including Iran and Syria, to tell others “it’s time we did our part and paid our fair share.”
