The booing and the cheering competed for a while. "I like speaking here every year," Clinton said. She was booed last year. "I see the signs that say get us out of Iraq. That is what we are trying to do." She said she wanted to strip Bush of the authority to continue the war, and she wanted to use diplomacy instead of war. Then Clinton - who is way over time - told a story about her friend Madeline Albright going to europe and seeing American flags that people in the Soviet Union had saved for decades even though they were forbidden. People said they loved America. "I want to be the president that restores that feeling around the world" (Loud applause). Clinton never mentioned the point Ted Koppel reported last week and Bill Richardson raised here yesterday that she intends to have the occupation of Iraq still going at the end of her second term, should she be elected.
