Hillary’s continuing to work at having it not just two ways, but several ways. Campaigning in front of crowds in New Hampshire that are apparently more liberal than she is, they apparently want their next mommy or daddy president to make it stop. Make it go away, Mommy. Make it stop, Daddy. Take that noisy bad old war away.
So Hillary says things like: “It's very easy to go around and say, 'Let's end the war.’ If we had a Democratic president we would end the war."
And here’s a doozy: "knowing what we know now, I would never have voted for it.”
And finally, "The mistakes were made by this president, who misled this country and this Congress." All of this was said to the kind of applause a coach gets at a pep rally right before leading the team to a first class glute whupping.
What’s wrong with Hillary’s position? I’ve said it in my last two posts and believe that it is important enough to say again. This is an encouraging signal to an enemy who is not running for office in 2008. Our enemy is looking to see what kind of government we will elect in 2008. They would prefer not to have a conservative Republican government.
Yessiree, you heard it right. They (radical Islamists worldwide) have a preference about which U.S. administration we elect. They want Hillary’s administration (reason enough not to vote for her right there). They know that she’ll pack up and go home. Then they can regroup and plan more of their operations in our hemisphere rather than defending themselves in their part of the planet. By the way, they’ll accept Obama also if he promises the same things.
Let me add again (until it sinks in) IRAQ IS NOT THE WAR. Iraq is a battle in a much larger war. It’s an ideological war that just happens to be centered in Iraq at the moment.
Hillary doesn’t think the struggle against the monsters of terror is our number one priority. She’s not leading. She’s poll reading and consulting with her showpiece husband. She’s telling New Hampsherites and Iowans what she thinks they want to hear – universal health care, more affordable college, and reviving small town economies (none of which she can actually accomplish). She believes the American public is exhausted with Iraq and just wants it all to go away.
Maybe, but the American people can take it. They need to hear the truth and they need to be lead not appeased. They don’t need more bunk.
