Hillary Promises To End War If Elected

WASHINGTON (AP)hillary.png -

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she would not have attacked Iraq if she were president in 2002 and would end the war if elected, as she tried to blunt rivals like John Edwards who are stoking anti-war passions in the Democratic Party.

Clinton, raising her voice at one point to be heard above anti-war hecklers, suggested that calls from Edwards and others to cut off funding for President Bush's troop increase are unlikely to win approval in a narrowly divided Senate.

Here we go again! Listening to a Clinton lie and spin the truth that she was very much in favor of the war. Just like her husband, she just wafts along with whatever the polls are saying. Claiming she was tricked is just an outright lie. At one point, she was raising her voice to be heard above anti-war hecklers. Ya’ gotta’ love that…anti-war hecklers at a Clinton rally.
If we in Congress don’t end this war before January 2009, as president, I will.”
However, she is not the only Democrat singing the same dance and song routine,“Flip-Flop” is the number one hit with these people.
Edwards voted with Clinton in 2002 to authorize Bush’s war against Iraq, a vote he defended during his 2004 presidential race but has since said was a mistake. The former North Carolina senator has gone from being a war apologist to one of the most outspoken critics of the invasion in this campaign.
The “I’m So Pretty” boy is also doing his “song and dance” routine for the morons of the whacko left anti-war element.

Iraq Threatens to Dog Senator Clinton's White House Bid

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-N.Y.) pledge to end the Iraq war if she becomes president rings hollow to some anti-war activists not ready to forget the Democratic front runner's once staunch advocacy for the invasion.

Since announcing her candidacy for president, the New York senator has tried to distance herself from backing the unpopular war.

But such rhetoric would have been preferred much earlier, said Dana Balicki, organizer for the anti-war group CodePink.

"We've heard enough," Balicki told Cybercast News Service. "We want to see her do something. Stop funding the war. January 2009 is too late. We've lost thousands of lives. How many more lives will be lost?"

Asked if Clinton's October 2002 vote for a resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq would dog her throughout her presidential campaign, Balicki said: "We will assure it."
