Yup...That's what she said. I mean, you can't have a proper quagmire without the time, the treasure, and the wasted lives, right?
Except in this case, she gets to be Nixon to Bush's Johnson (ick...sorry about that one).
Nixon ran on ending the war as well, but instead expanded it, and with all the sabre rattling going on concerning Iran, will Hillary be the one to bomb Cambodia, so to speak. I wouldn't put it past her, considering, as Maher eloquently noted, she claims that she was "fooled" by dumb ass George Bush, that she believed Dick Cheney. Are you kidding me? If I didn't know these two numbnuts from Adam, and they walked up to me on the street, and they told me the sky was fucking blue, I still wouldn't believe them. Smartest woman in the world? She's not the smartest woman in Washington.
Folks, I hate to turn my humble little corner of cyberspace into a hate Hillary outpost, but I cannot be loud enough in this assertion: She is the wrong turn for our Republic, which sits on the precipice of either a new dawn for our real creed, or the cynical commodification of ostensible freedom.
Which is it?
Oh yeah, and the torture thing: How craven is this person? A five year old knows that the "good guys" don't torture. Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!!
I hate to say this but if torture actually worked, I'd be torn on the issue. However, since evidence from torture has never held up to outside scrutiny (unless you believe all those old ladies really were witches), we shouldn't waste time debating it. Torture for intelligence isn't just wrong--it's time-consuming, expensive, and inefficient.
ReplyDeletePhilip Roth in an interview this week, when asked about Hilary's viability as a candidate, responded appropriately: "If there's anyone that can lose 50 states for the Democrats, she can."
ReplyDeleteits sooo true. that's why people like Newt on are the sunday morning circuit today pushing her. The GOP would love to face off against her vs. Obama.
(good interview overall, actually, i'll link to it on my page)
