Reply #56: Weasel words from Hillary on possibly the most important issue of our lifetime

[brg5001]

Hillary is (strangely) looked at by the right wing as some kind of leftist. Please.

Her artful dodging on this speaks volumes. Let's cut to the chase: I used to support Edwards in '08 until DU posters educated me about his behavior leading up to the war/occupation. At first I defended him on the basis that MANY Americans, myself included, were taken in by Bushco's lies. But the reality is that believing those lies was a choice: The truth was out there, and brave Americans like Kucinich, Gore, Conyers, Feingold et al had the cojones to call Bushco's 'splendid little war' an OUTRAGE at a time when doing so was supremely unpopular. That, to me, is called leadership.

Hillary has managed to piss off individuals of every political stripe. She has zero chance of becoming president and doesn't deserve to. I am tired of excuses, half-measures and poor attempts at apology. Edwards needs to admit that he got caught up in the war hysteria, and Hillary needs to admit that she favors a continuation of the conflict under the management of Bushco. Because if she doesn't favor getting out, that's exactly what we have on our hands -- Bushco will continue to reign knowing that, sadly, Dems like Hillary and LIEberman won't make waves. Screw her and the horse she rode in on.
