what I dont get is this:
Anyone who is reasonably intelligent understands this:
1. The american people turned on this war. They are against it, and although they dont favor immediate pullout, they favor a staggered pullout way more than they favor continued fighting by u.s. troops
2. Most americans are against this president and his policies
3. To win the 2008 elections, the Dems and Republicans must, MUST MUST win the antiwar vote.
So... why are republican and democrat candidates still pro fighting this war and still pro sending more troops to fight it?
Doesnt make a bit of sense

Clinton: We may need to confront Iran
Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that it might be necessary for America to confront Iran militarily, addressing that possibility more directly than any of the other presidential candidates who spoke this week to the National Jewish Democratic Council.
Clinton first said that the US should be engaging directly with Iran to foil any effort to gain nuclear weapons and faulted the Bush administration for "considerably narrowing" the options available to America in countering Iran.
Other candidates who addressed the NJDC only went as far as saying that "no option should be taken off the table" when it came to thwarting Iran's nuclear ambitions. All of the major Democratic presidential contenders appeared at the three-day conference, but Clinton received the most time and applause. She hit on the importance of the US-Israel relationship and the need to recover the three Israeli soldiers kidnapped last summer by Hamas and Hizbullah, but she devoted most of her address to domestic issues popular with Jewish Democrats, such as education, healthcare and the separation of church and state.
She also told the crowd in response to an audience question that her husband would serve as an international envoy to rebuild goodwill for Americans around the world if she were elected.
