RUSHThe next bite she says that Bush should finish Iraq before he leaves.

HILLARY: I think it's the height of irresponsibility, and I really resent it. This was his decision to go to war. He went with an ill-conceived plan and an incompetently executed strategy, and we should expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office.

RUSH: All applause. You know what this is about. Bush has said that the war on terror will go on and on and on beyond his administration, and any expert in this realizes that that's the case. Mrs. Clinton here is saying (summarized), "Oh, no, no, no! You get all this stuff off the table before I take office in 2009."

Iraq does not equal the War On Terror, Rush. But your view of this depends if you believe there is one or not

The rest of the stuff is hogwash, too (geddit?). Hillary might be doing 24 backflips per second, but you wouldnt know it from that transcript.
Maybe I had to be there. Maybe it's a tone of voice issue. Maybe the audience understood. Maybe.

Clinton in 2003:

"HILLARY: With respect to whose responsibility it is to disarm Saddam Hussein, I just do not believe that, given the attitudes of many people in the world community today, that there would be a willingness to take on very difficult problems, were it not for the United States leadership, and I'm talking specifically about what had to be done in Bosnia and Kosovo where my husband could not get a Security Council resolution to save the Kosovar Albanians from ethnic cleansing. And we did it alone as the United States, and we had to do it alone. And so I see it somewhat differently. So forgive me for my experience and perspective."

Clinton in 2007:

"HILLARY: I said that we should not go to war unless we have allies. So he took the authority that I and others gave him and he misused it, and I regret that deeply."

What part of the word "contradiction" don't you understand?

As regards her comment, it was a flaky enough thing to say, she could have used clearer words. Maybe she's angry at the position she took, God knows she should be, IMO. Maybe she resents the fact that the war really should be over by now.

I have yet to meet one who enjoyed communism or what it brought to the millions it was supposed to help.
