Dowd: Bomb, Bomb Iran (Hillary Clinton)

[RamboLiberal]

Hillary seemed rattled.

Up until now, she has displayed remarkable imperturbability — gliding along with the help of good lighting, a hearty guffaw and a clever husband.

But on Sunday in New Hampton, Iowa, Hillary lost her cool at last. Sparring with a voter on Iran, she sounded defensive and paranoid.

A Democrat, Randall Rolph, asked Senator Clinton why he should back her when she did not learn her lesson after voting to authorize W. to use force in Iraq. He did not understand how she could have voted yea to urge W. to label Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, possibly setting the stage for more Cheney chicanery.

Hillary said that “labeling them a terrorist organization gives us the authority to impose sanctions on their leadership. ...I consider that part of a very robust diplomatic effort.”

1. "She is the manliest candidate among the Democrats"

2. Mo Dowd: one of the few people less deserving of her position in life than Hillary Clinton

What a useless hack.

3. Unfortunately on this she's right. No Democrat should have voted for that resolution.

Yes it was a watered down version, yes they took out language that would have allowed Bush & Cheney to do whatever they want, big deal. This administration has shown that it will stretch anything to the limit, and do whatever it takes, in order to get what they want.

Hillary Clinton, apparently has not learned that.

4. She is right about that...but there's something else to consider

I think our girl Mo is getting ready to "Gore" Hillary. Remember how Dowd was the one pushing Gore's "exaggerations" about Love Canal and the internet? I think she's warming up for another run of snippiness at Hillary.

5. She is disgusting and I never read her columns anymore

She is pushing for someone but I don't know who. If it is Gore she is out of luck. Gore will not run. Why should he. If he does he will run into the DU whiners and they will start picking. He doesn't need that. As a matter of fact no one does. I just wish people could be positive about someone instead of knocking Hillary around. Bunch of bullies and nasty people.

6. my response is that I don't see how labeling someone a terrorist, especially

with this current administration, goes anywhere towards a "diplomatic effort".

and no one who supports Clinton seems to want to answer that question, nor does Clinton herself, apparently.
