The Dems' Bidding War on Iraq

First Barack Obama didn't favor a timetable for withdrawal. Now he's sponsoring a bill to have all combat troops out of Iraq by March 2008.

Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton says she'll begin redeploying troops out of Iraq during the first 90 days of her presidency. (CORRECTION: I've misstated Hillary's position: she wants the redeployment of US troops to begin within 90 days of her statement delivered on Saturday, Feb 17. That means troops would have to start leaving Iraq by April 18 or, Hillary says, or "the Congress will revoke authorization for this war.")

And not to be one-upped by Clinton, Bill Richardson now said yesterday that he'll get us out of Iraq on the "first day" of his presidency.

Who's next in the Dem bidding war to get us out of Iraq and how can they possibly top the last bid?
