WASHINGTON - The Pentagon told Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton that her questions about how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq boosts enemy propaganda.Naturally, Senator Clinton will refuse to acknowledge her gift-wrapped gift o' propaganda and accuse the administration of un-American stifling of debate.
In a stinging rebuke to a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman responded to questions Clinton raised in May in which she urged the Pentagon to start planning now for the withdrawal of American forces.

Her staff seems to be on-message on her behalf already:
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines called Edelman's answer "at once outrageous and dangerous," and said the senator would respond to his boss, Defense Secretary Robert Gates.It's dangerous to criticize somebody for making a criticism that is dangerous for U.S. foreign policy goals. Got it?
