Hillary....running for President or flippin pancakes at the local waffle house.

Since the political races are getting lined up, I figured it was time that I started seeing what was going on out there. Well, wouldn't you know it, the first thing I found was a little story on Miss Hillary. Seems that now that she is running for the office of the president (which by the way, she said she wouldn't in order to get re-elected in New York), she needs to let everyone know what her views on the war are. She gave a little speech a few weeks ago where she stated:

"Sen. Clinton attempted to explain her 2002 vote in favor of a Senate resolution "to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq" (S.J. Res. 45): "I said that we should not go to war unless we have allies. So (President Bush) took the authority that I and others gave him and he misused it, and I regret that deeply. And if we had known then what we know now, there never would have been a vote, and I never would have voted to give this president that authority."


Hmmm, then wouldn't you know it...someone finds a clip of a speech she gave to an anti war group (Code Pink) in 2003 where she said this:

"Sen. Clinton tried to justify her pro-war vote: "There is a very easy way to prevent anyone from being put into harm's way, that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something I've followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. ... I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information, intelligence that I had available, talking with people whose opinions I trusted, trying to discount the political or other factors that I didn't believe should be in any way part of this decision."
Sen. Clinton also told the Code Pink women that sometimes the United States has to go it alone and she specifically compared Iraq with Bosnia and Kosovo "where my husband could not get a Security Council resolution to save the Kosovar Albanians from ethnic cleansing. And we did it alone as the United States, and we had to do it alone."

She also has some comments about Bush going to war offering tax cuts and what a mistake that will be. Perhaps her little crystal ball was a little foggy that day. Has she check the papers lately?

This election is going to be so much fun. With Hillary and Obama trading shots, the Dems scampering to come up with one good plan to implement that will make a difference, the Repubs fighting to get back on top and find a candidate that can over come the downfalls of Bush....yep, looks like I will have plenty to do in the coming year.
