I cannot believe she really believes this, and wonder why she purposefully buys into and repeats Dubya's Iraq war rationale. That Iraq has created more terrorists for us and the world to deal with is without question, but why a statement like this?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/11/AR2005071100532_pf.html

ASPEN, Colo. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the attack against President Bush in a speech Sunday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich.

The Democrat from New York also accused Bush of depriving U.S. soldiers of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funding for scientific research.

<>Clinton, who was speaking during the inaugural Aspen Ideas Festival, organized by the Aspen Institute nonpartisan think tank, didn't mention the presidential election in 2008.

She said the United States should remain in Iraq until peace can be maintained by the Iraqi people, saying the mission was part of the "long struggle against terrorism" by the U.S.

1. She said it because the DLC and her AIPAC benefactors supported Bush's
Iraq invasion. Remember, Chalabi promised an Israel-friendly Iraq to the Neo-cons, an Iraq the would send Israel oil and water and possibly be a dumping site for Palestinians on Occupied Territory? The Neo-cons, Likkudites and their supporters in AIPAC bought Chalabi's con game.

Thanks to this invasion and Shiite dominance of the January 2005 elections, Iraq is becoming an Iran-friendly Iraq. Israel has got to be worried at that developement.
