Venezuela, Iran and Syria are not "rogue" nations by any stretch of the imagination. All are at peace with their neighbors. All aspire to peace. Venezuela has an embassy in Washington, does it not? While Chavez is improving the lifes of his people, Bush is driving down living standards and running up tremendous debts to prosecute wars based on lies, lies and lies.

The Clin'toons support the same policies as Bush--they just try to sell them to a different set of people--those who walk upright. Obama is clever--we probably have Mr. Lake, he's an old hand at being so clever that one can't readily distinguish his cleverness from rank deceit. You can always meet with someone, pretend to be reasonable and then accuse them of being unreasonable...would the American electorate know the difference? Hardly! Obama has already shown himself to be a weasel in sheep's clothing when it comes to the war in Iraq. Looks like Hillary, a mistress of deceit in her own right, could appreciate Obama's position. I think Rupert Murdoch and the New York's 'Our Crowd' must keep her on a pretty short leash and she is merely envious of the Obama's projection of reason and goodwill and doesn't want him to count coup at her political expense in the heartland...where reason is valued more than in New York hive.

Talk about naive; Hillary thinks that being married to an impeached President is an asset.

Just what we need, another President who would rather drop bombs than negotiate.Hillary is the one being naive and irresponsible.Posted by realpatriot1

What's there to negotiate when you have enemies in the world who seek nothing less than your destruction and who are get their inspiration from a 6th century death cult?

For Hilary's 'tough talk' she's as much of a pus.sy as the rest of the Dems and the GOP are a bunch of wussies too but at least they aren't afraid of stepping up to the plate. If America wasn't so weak as it is today, Iran's nuke plants would've been bombed already and groups like Hezbollah, Hamas wouldn't exist for starters.

It is your headline for this news what is highly irresponsible. I suppose that it is for the sake of sensationalism. Whoever edited this news is taking some expressions of Ms. Clinton out of context. I was watching the debate. First, the transmits a sense of confrontation that never took place between Ms. Clinton and Senator Obama. Second, she did not address Obama in such terms. While explaining why she could not make a promise to meet with leaders of certain countries --Syria, Iran, Cuba, etc.-- in her first year if she ever became president, she said that it would be naive and irresponsible to promise that because she felt it was necessary fo make a thoughtful consideration of circumstances so that she would not be used for mere propaganda by those countries. Senator Obama, on the other hand and before Ms. Clinton had her turn to answer the question, PROMISED that if he ever becomes president, he would meet and talk to them in his first year as such. There was no confrontation, and I did not notice any intention on Ms. Clinton to demean Senator Obama. This is sensasionalist and it does not talk good about CBS. I think that you should be a little more careful. Both candidates, Ms. Clinton and Senator Obama, are respectable people. News like this one are less than respectful.

someone needs to ask them this...............

this is the only way!!!!!!!!! to stop this adminastration. period..the only way bush has no way of vetoing. so why haven't they done this?

both party are dragging this on to far. its time to end this for god sake

so call on congress to do this NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Article 1 of the US Constitution gives the Congress, not the President, the right to declare war. And the War Powers Act specifies that the President may not continue a war without Congressional authorization. Saddam is dead. There never were any WMDs or ties to Al Qaeda. The basis for the 2002 war authorization is gone.
If Congress passes a resolution de-authorizing the war, the President has no legal authority to continue. De-authorization cannot be vetoed, and it would legally require Bush to begin bringing the troops home.
The time for waiting is over. People are dying every day. We cannot wait until this fall to start bringing our troops home. If Congress doesn't act before they leave for the summer, the only thing that will change between now and the end of the year is the body count.
Congress has a public mandate and the Constitutional authority to end this war.

LETS GO AMERICA WE OWE THIS TO OUR TROOPS DIEING FOR NOTHING BUT THE PRESIDENTS AND MR VP'S PLEASURE, AND PROFITS.....

Hillary - petulant bovine who will drive people to vote for ANY Republican if push comes to shove.

Dropping bombs is occasionally, and sadly, necessary but she hasn't an ounce of sincerity whatsoever. I see no reason to believe her without lots of evidence, regardless of topic -- the irony being we all already know Iran is a legitimate danger. But common sense trumps her chicanery any day of the week.
