However, as former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark recently pointed out, none of the current candidates can claim that experience.

On the other hand, the Crimson comes into the contest on a bit of a roll having won two straight.

Further troop withdrawals will be influenced by events on the ground, and also by the outcome of the U.S. presidential elections. Iraqi officials want all U.S. troops out by 2011. Republican presidential candidate John McCain has refused to set a timetable, while his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, has pledged to withdraw all U.S. combat troops within 16 months of taking office...
