MSNBC's Hall falsely claimed Clinton and Obama said Iraq surge is "working, so then why not stay longer?"

SUMMARY: On MSNBC, anchor Tamron Hall claimed that Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are "both saying that the new strategy" in Iraq "is working," and later asked VoteVets.org's Jon Soltz whether it would hurt anti-war organizations' message "when you hear from ... the two leading candidates for president ... saying 'Hey, things are working, so then why not stay longer?' " But neither Clinton nor Obama has said that President Bush's troop increase strategy is "working," and neither has advocated "stay[ing] longer."
