Hillary Clinton actually said...
Hope is not a strategy. Hortatory talk about what the Iraqi government must do is getting old. I mean, I have heard over and over again the government must do this. The Iraqi army must do that. Nobody disagrees with that. The brutal fact is, it is not happening.
Context
Senator Clinton emphasizes the ineffectiveness of the Iraqi government and army, criticizing the lack of action despite repeated calls for change.
