Presidential candidates talk about Iraq report« Thread Started on Sept 13, 2007, 6:34am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Presidential candidates talk about Iraq reportEdited by: Phil BermanEmail: berman@kjrh.comLast Update: 9/10 5:52 pm read at source> http://www.kjrh.com/content/news/decisi ... c1672White House hopefuls were closely watching Monday's report on the Iraq war. No matter who wins the white house next november, Iraq will be a chief concern.So, Presidential hopefuls were listening closely to what General David Petraeus had to say to Congress.Republican Candidate Duncan Hunter played a prominent role in the hearing. He is the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee and supports the President.Hunter said, "The Democrats have said to George Bush for three years, listen to your generals. Now we have a general who says we're making great progress. They say, don't listen to this general."In Miami Sunday, Democratic candidates discussed homeland security in anticipation of General Petraeus' report and the upcoming anniversary of September eleventh. Senator Chris Dodd said, "We're more vulnerable, less safe, more insecure today because of the presence there because we've turned Iraq into an incubator for jihadists and terrorists."The first of its kind Presidential forum was conducted in English and Spanish. Seven of the Democratic candidates reached out to the fast growing hispanic voting block who want to know how the next President will handle immigration.Governor Bill Richardson said, "If you are going to build a 12-foot wall, you know what is going to happen? A lot of 13-foot ladders. This is a terrible symbol of America."
