Hillary Clinton "Fully Supports" Bush's Iraq Policy

The single most damaging thing to Bush's credibility yet.

 

Did anyone see that interview with her and Delay last week? Apparently they share a huge interest into the well-being of foster kids, so they co-hosted a movie showing, <I>Antwone Fisher</I>. It was quite odd and, honestly, horrific.

 

I agree. DeLay needs to learn how to keep better company.

Hillary understands that Bush will most probably emerge from the impending war looking like a great leader, so her support says more about her Presidential ambitions than her conscience (lol, like she has a conscience).

 

I was thinking just the opposite.

That's just as bad as saying the only reason Bush even cares about Iraq is because of the oil.

 

How nice of her to speak out and try to increase support for a potential war. Oh wait, that wouldn't be good politics.

 

She's running for President. Why else would she say something she obviously doesn't believe?

Hillary is a real sraight shooter

 

Bubba knows the political importance of a good war. I wonder if we would've attacked Iraq sooner if not for Wag the Dog and Monica...

 

I don't know why you guys are acting like this is some big ploy. Her friggin' husband seems to be supportive of the war too. Does he have something to gain in all of this? Maybe to be provost of Oxford it's really important that he not only be a 2 term President of the United States, but that he also support the war against Iraq.

Is it possible that Hillary and Bill were both privy to information that would now (in this environment w/ the freebie we own) seem like probable cause for a war against Iraq? Do spouses have national security clearance?

Hell, are you guys even reading the papers? 66% of voting Democrats oppose this war w/o UN backing. She has preempted that majority of the party and decided to appeal to the warmongering crowd, which to me, isn't a large majority (what is it these days?? 5.8 out of 10 people?).

I think that the war with Iraq is more than likely unnecessary, but I don't indict someone's character simply b/c she disagrees with me. Sheez.

 

Maybe he would have attacked if the economy went into the tank and people were losing jobs, or if he connections to Big Oil companies, who would benefit from the developement of the world's second largest oil reserve.

 

He didn't need connections with the oil companies. He had the Chinese.

If it makes things clearer, I believe Gore would have the same stance on Iraq if he were in office today. It's a political thing to do.

 

Your entire post was a laugher, but this has to be the best line. It would be easier to count the number of posts in which you didn't 'indict someone's character'. Sheez. Also, I don't get why you play dumb when it comes to the Clintons. Of course every politician is looking out for himself, EXCEPT the sweet little Clintons. Yeah.

If she was really behind the position, she has a chance to help the effort. Instead, she says and does nothing. She could be getting more people on board and building more public support. But no. We get a statement from her 'office', I'm sure coincidentally on the day before she's supposed to visit some military manufacturer. Thanks for helping the cause, Hill.

 

How do you know she's done nothing to help the effort?

 

The statement comes after months where Clinton - who voted for an Iraq attack last fall - has low-keyed her support and sharply criticized aspects of Bush's security policy, sparking speculation she was trying to have it both ways.


That and the fact that where there's a camera, there's a Clinton. If she was doing any talking, we would've known about it.

 

Thanks MadMax, I didn't mean my post to sound as if it were directed towards you... more generally a vent (b/c of my continual confusion about the conservative male's hatred towards Hillary... do they really fear her? Do they really think she'll ever be elected?).

TheFreak, please enumerate the things that your senators are doing to fight the war with Iraq. I'm not sure what exactly Bob Bennett or Hatch are doing to "help" the war effort... but that's just UT. I'd like to learn what the example from Texas is, such that you would have the wherewithal to judge some Senator ~1500 miles away from you.

Oh yeah, the map distance is meaningless, eh, when FOX and AM radio keep you abreast of every move of Hillary's, eh?

 

Yeah, what exactly have Hutchinson or Cornyn done? TheFreak seems to have inside sources to the wheelings and dealings in Washington, D.C., that I'd love to know the hard work these to have put in to bolster support for possible military action in Iraq.

 

We agree.

I seldom believe ANYTHING that she says, but I believe that for once, she is putting partisanship and politics to the side and speaking her mind and her heart.

Needless to say, I am shocked...but I am also encouraged that perhaps this could be the start of a new day in Washington.

 

No it is not, because my theory about Hillary is plausible, while the notion that we are attacking Iraq because of the oil is just plain ridiculous.

If we wanted the oil so badly, we wouldn't spend billions of dollars, piss off half of Europe, or risk our soldiers lives. We would just drop the sanctions.
