Hillary’s Latest Iraq War Stunt
1 comment May 4th, 2007
Never has a politician been so devious and expedient on the vital issue of war and peace as has Senator Hillary Clinton with her toturous meanderings on the Iraq War. This supposedly brilliant human being, of whom her followers worship as destined by divine right for the role of president and commander-in-chief, originally voted in favor of authorizing George W. Bush to wage an unprovoked war on Iraq for strictly political and selfish reasons. Only when public sentiment turned against the war did Hillary Clinton distance herself from the Bush war policy, without, however, conceding that her original vote was an egregious error. Obviously, her parting company with Bush on the war was also motivated by her perception of political self-interest. For the same reason, she will not concede that she made a mistake with her original vote, claiming it was President Bush that made the mistake, not her. A typical Clintonian rationale!
Now Hillary Clinton has co-sponsored a bill with Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, withdrawing the original grant of war authorization for Bush to wage war on Iraq. The logical problem with this tactic is how does Hillary maintain her credibility with such a Senate resolution, when she still refuses to concede that her original vote was the grand mother of all mistakes? But that is messing things up with logic, a factor that is antithetical to the calculations of the Clintons.
In my book, “Hillary Clinton Nude,” I chronicle Senator Clinton’s somersaults on the Iraq war in a chapter entitled “Between Iraq and a Hard Place.” While Hillary Clinton will now position herself as the presidential candidate that will end the war, to believe that, you must also believe that Satan will stamp out hell in favor of heaven. Regretably, there are many Hillary loyalists that will perform precisely that sort of convulated gymnastics to justify replacing the disastrous Bush presidency with one that may be even worse.
