Hillary Clinton has lain out her plan for the first 100 days of her prospective presidency…

…the beginning of a troop withdrawal from Iraq and signing legislation that President Bush vetoed.

The New York senator said Tuesday, "In short, starting from Day One, the Bush-Cheney era will be over in name and in practice."

Looking beyond the competitive race for the Democratic nomination, she also said that within 100 days of becoming president, she would ask Congress to reverse some of Bush's tax cuts, tackle global warming and urge Canada and Mexico to renegotiate NAFTA.

These promises will no doubt be looked upon favorably by Democrats and most frustrated independents. However, what she wisely declined from promising was a swift cleansing of that weird Cheney smell.

That's not going anywhere in three months' time.
