Hillary Iraq

The real experience Hillary gained during her years in the White House has finally been revealed: she learned, just like her husband, how to manipulate words to cover up her lies.

Maybe this is what bothers me most about Barack Obama: He keeps talking about working with the Republicans. Reaching across the aisle. Compromise.

The Clinton camp is insisting that Obama had an identical voting record in the Senate as Clinton. Then, they emphatically stated what an abysmal record Obama had in acting to end the war.

How can a candidate claim to be ready on Day One when on Day 646 of her senate career she voted for a war without reading the 90-page NIE that convinced her senate colleague Bob Graham the war was a mistake?

"The gift of freedom" is a curious way to describe an unprovoked invasion and occupation causing hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and leaving just about every aspect of life chaotic.

By the time Hillary took the stage at the University of Texas last night, it was more than apparent that her vision of peace for the Balkans was, to coin a phrase, a big fairy-tale.

There were those who did speak out against the invasion at the time of that unfortunate (maybe cowardly, maybe confused) vote of the Congress. Al Gore was one. And so did Barack Obama.

Sen. Clinton has proposed a serious measure to forestall Bush's imperial ambitions. And, in this most transformative presidential election of our time, where is the coverage?

Clinton's apologists include Gloria Steinem and too many other feminists, who should know better than to betray the women's movement's commitment to peace in favor of simplistic gender politics.

Clinton and Obama have not explained why, in the nature of the conflict, it cannot be "won"; why a continued American presence is a surer breeder of terrorism than anything Americans say or do on our own continent. The failure of nerve is ominous.

Hillary's is the classic argument used by monarchists who say that ultimately, the prince or a family member of a ruling dynasty would be the best natural choice to rule over the people.

The appearance is that Clinton, Obama and Edwards all want to "bring the troops home." The effect is to numb and demobilize anti-war opinion.

Today, the Clinton's are trotting out the same strategy yet again, trying to claim that Obama is the "establishment" candidate. It's as if they've decided to run against themselves. Weird.

Most American Muslims say they have no problems with talk of fighting terrorists. But they find Republican candidates consistently equating Islam with terrorism and crossing the line into bigotry.

If I had told you that Iraq would come roaring back to the forefront of the campaign, how many of you would've guessed that that candidate that brought it there would be Hillary Clinton?

If former President Clinton thinks he can take advantage of Obama's war statement and turn in against him in order to support his wife's bid for the White House, he should expect to be called out on it.

Less than a week before the decisive Nevada Democratic presidential caucuses, the political battle over Iraq dramatically erupted on Sunday when the H...

At almost every stop in her years of senatorial service, Hillary Clinton has polished Bush's gun with aplomb, hoping for some kind of reverse capitalization she could use to build her own regime.

I was reluctant to view the caucuses as American democracy at its best. I thought it was a trumped up festival for cable news, exaggerated and unrepresentative, a political Tupperware party.

Now we're looking at the rebirth of the Taliban in Afghanistan and a rapidly destabilizing Pakistan. The connections with our failed adventure in Iraq are beyond obvious.

On many of the major foreign policy issues of the day, Sen. Clinton is, in effect, asking us to take on faith that she has the right policy approaches because, as she asserts, she has the experience to lead.

I hear Hillary is ready to kill Bill. But it has nothing to do with his roving eye and everything to do with his Rovian lie -- claiming that he had "opposed Iraq from the beginning" when the record clearly shows otherwise.

In an attempt to deflect attention from the fact that he would have less experience than any president since World War II, Senator Obama and his advisors have gone on the attack.

I have great respect and admiration for Senator Obama. But he should be more careful, because his record doesn't always line up with his rhetoric.

When it comes to foreign affairs, Hillary has been showing every indication that she will pursue policies that are, for the most part, very similar to the failing policies of the Bush administration.
