Comments on: Clinton Defends Iraq Vote: Says “I’m Willing to Be Held Accountable”

[jedi08]

Billary is a liar who has no soul so I would never expect her to admit she was wrong about anything. Wheather it was the Bosnia Lie (aka sleep deprivation) Vote on Iraq, or marrying her cheating husband. She ran a horrible campaign and is a horrible person. Her whole experience claim is based on lies not facts. Just ask the people or Ireland

Another example of Obama''s foreign policy judgement
You decide...

1. August 2007 debate: Obama makes vocal case for striking terrorists inside Pakistan
"Let me make this clear: There are terrorists holed up in those mountains, that murdered 3,000 Americans," said Obama during the counterterrorism address. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-valued terrorist targets and if President Musharraf will not act, we will."

2. McCain, Hillary, Dodd, Biden all critisize him saying we should not be working against Musharraf our only advocate in the region

3. December 2007: Bhutto assassinated by terrorists

4. The Washington Post reported that in late January, a CIA aircraft fired on several buildings in the Pakistani town of Mir Ali, killing a senior al-Qaida commander and several others. The paper, quoting anonymous U.S. officials, said that the action was done without seeking approval from the Pakistani government.

5. Mid February ''08, Musharraf voted out of power; US has spent $11B trying to prop. up Musharraf

6. Late February, Senator Dodd endorsed Obama

Obama''s 2002 NO-HOLDS-BARRED Iraq speech took real courage. It risked his run-for-the-Senate WHILE the wise-men/women of Congress took comfort in voting as group to support the Iraq war resolution.

Judge for yourself. Many talk about it, Senator Clinton ridicules it, but few have actually read it, so I post here the text of Barack Obama''s speech in 2002 opposing the Iraq war. I would simply note that his speech proved a sophisticated understanding of world affairs, a deep knowledge about military consequences of going to war, a cool ability to make the right commender in chief decision in times of great pressure and a flawless, item by item, forecast of what would go wrong if the war was initiated.

Polls in early 2003 showed that 47% New Yorkers favored military action in Iraq and 69% of the nationwide population did. Which number should be used in a democratic decision? If the war did end for good when Bush declared victory in May 2003, will the 69% number be used today? Where are those people%u2019s voices today? Perhaps, we are hearing from them already.

You Idiot Obamarobuts, dont you KNOW that by CONSTANTLY trying to tear down Hillary ONLY gives us more resolve to support her MORE! Your helping defeat your own candidate. You 18-24 yr olds really need to stick to what you know, Jello shots and MTV. HEY its spring break, get out there and spend your momma an daddy money!
The half-black,half-white guy that wants to be president, who for TWENTY years attended an anti-white, anti-jewish,anti-Italion,anti-american and a wife who has "NEVER" been proud of AMERICA could care less how his supporters treat Hillary. SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!

It is a complete waste of time listening to anything Hillary Clinton has to say. No use listening to anything either of the Clintons has to say, every thing they say is fabricated, mis-spoke, mis-truth, un-truth, or just plain lies. Anything they say today will be denied tomorrow and then they will wine about it being brought up in the first place. If she gets elected we will have to spend the next four years impeaching her.

How could she have made the best decision based on what information she had when she voted without reading the security report on the situation?!?

Iraq was very unpopular at the time, Sadam Hussein was viewed as an enemy, we were angry about 911, polls showed America wanted something done. It was another Clinton "follow the polls" based decision!! So she did not make the best decision she could have made at the time since she did not inform herself.

This goes to a point she keeps making, that she would be ready to make a decision on the spot for a 3am phone call. Does that mean she would go with whatever she felt like doing at that moment if she thought it was popular? Would it not be better to get input and guidance from military advisors and cabinet members to review ALL options? I am sure that the president can get any and all of the people needed together in very short order to handle a 3am phone call.

By the way, who would be making that 3am phone call??? Would she want to verify the information or just act? This is a dangerous stance and can get us in more problems that should have been thought out ahead of time. Not to mention how much in-fight, which seems to be a Clinton trait, would delay taking the right actions in a timely manner.

BLACK JESUS OBAMA WANTS TO BAN VIDEO GAMES!

"We''re going to have to....put the video games away...and that''s going to take some time."

I''m just curious how she "didn''t know" when a million people, her New York constituents included, were protesting in the street against the war?

Yes, Cowgirl - she doesn''t need a telprompter - She simply invents answers on the spot. That''s why her credibility with the American public is so low; She''s simply been caught in too many lies.
