WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday urged the Pentagon to plan quickly for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. "We've been hearing that there is either no or very limited planning for withdrawal. Withdrawal is very complicated. If they're not planning for it, it will be difficult to execute it in a safe and efficacious way, " the Democratic presidential candidate said.
