Here is a question for you WAR MONGERS on this list



If the typical question for a war supporter is, %u201CHow much longer do we stick with an ineffective policy in Iraq?%u201D the typical response is, %u201CUntil we achieve victory.%u201D

The next question, of course, is trying to get a definition of %u201Cvictory.%u201D Fred Kaplan explains:

By the administration%u2019s own measures, then, victory in Iraq is not in sight, nor is there much evidence that the road we are treading will lead us toward that destiny. And yet our president still seems to have little comprehension of what the war that he has spawned is all about. [%u2026]

In his speech at the State Department on Monday, where he restated his goal of achieving %u201Cvictory,%u201D he also said of the fallen soldiers in Iraq that %u201Cone day people will look back at this moment in history and say, %u2018Thank God there were courageous people willing to serve because they laid the foundations for peace for generations to come.%u2019 %u201C

A wartime president who has no real allies and whose own military is too small to achieve such lofty goals should begin to scale back his rhetoric so that it has at least a patina of plausibility. By defining victory in Iraq as an outcome that lays %u201Cthe foundations for peace for generations to come,%u201D George W. Bush ensures that defeat is nearly inevitable.

All the while, of course, John McCain insists that he will deliver more of the same.

HILLARY CLINTON - READY TO LIE ON DAY ONE !!!!

First she denies that she was pro NAFTA. White House schedules have now been released, showing she held several high profile meetings to endorse NAFTA.

Second she tells outright lies about her bullet dodging trip to Bosnia.

The big problem for Hillary is that the American people know how easily the Clintons lie. Taking a leaf from Bill she will say: Well, it depends on how you define "sniper fire" and "ran". And then we will hear her say I DID NOT HAVE MILITARY RELATIONS WITH THAT SNIPER.

Misspeaking is one thing, repeating it over and over makes it a FLAT LIE !!

She cannot win the Democratic nomination without causing a civil war in the Democratic Party. Her recent actions, especially comparing herself to, and praising, McCain while undermining Obama, make it appear that she is willing to do just that -- split the party in two. Seriously, can you imagine McCain saying that that he had a lifetime of experience, Hillary had a lifetime of experience, but Romney didn''t? That would never happen. It''s unacceptable. And it has to stop.
I get that it sucks to lose. But, it happens. Hillary needs to get over it and bow out gracefully without destroying the Democratic Party

But off the cuff, George Washington and Ben Franklin were both married, but both also fathered more than 100 children from their "Black" slaves. Kennedy was also married, but his "extra curricular" exploits are now the stuff of legends.

But I guess that meaningless status symbols are important to you...

Ms. Clinton should expect to answer questions like the one she disregarded. Whether the question was appropriate is not the issue, the issue is this 30-year-old woman is campaigning for her mother, and refuses to answer questions from the media. As a former newspaper journalist, I am astonished that the media is handling this young woman with kid gloves, going so far as to turn off cameras at her request. The news media should continue to cover her, continue to ask her questions, and refuse to bow down to her requests to be treated any differently than any other child campaigning for a parent running for president of the united states. she''s a big girl now, if she doesn''t want to answer a question, she doesn''t have to. but she doesn''t deserve to be treated any differently than someone else who puts his/herself out there as a public figure.

What a silly question; when are we going to grow up in this country? Our economy in the toilet, food and gas prices going through the roof, public schools failing, we''re engaged in two wars, our infrastructure is in a shambles, lack of affordable health care for all Americans, homelessness and a soft job market and I should care about someone, even if that someone is Bill Clinton getting a BJ?

I don''t know or care who the questioner supports politically, but I would think a college student would ask a question that really mattered in today''s world. There are a lot of things that I don''t believe are my business and I think Miss Clinton answered the question appropiately.

How many of us have to answer for some of the stupid things that our parents, children or loved ones have done.

Get a life America!

Let it go, sensationalism is cruel period!!! She shouldn''t be subjected to questions regarding her father''s infidelity. Ressurecting Bill''s past will not solve our economic woes and bring good governance.
