The New York Sun's Eli Lake quotes surge architect Gen. Jack Keane:

"I have no doubts whatsoever that if she were president in January '09 she would not act irresponsibly and issue orders to conduct an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, regardless of the consequences, and squander the gains that have been made." Mr. Keane added that he could not imagine any president in the White House making that kind of decision.

But this accusation--that Clinton would act responsibly--is then angrily rejected by the Clinton campaign:

The senator's campaign yesterday differed with that assessment. "Senator Clinton speaks for herself on her plans to end the Iraq war," the campaign's communication director, Howard Wolfson, said. "She has said she will end the war the right way, swiftly and responsibly, and beginning within 60 days of taking office."

And they wonder how they got to this point.
