Clinton, Obama skirmish over Iraq

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday attacked her rivals over Iraq, saying Democrat Barack Obama is all talk when it comes to ending the war and Republican John McCain would keep it going.

Hillary is always inventing some kind of angle to claim superiority on all subjects. Always on the offense, but yet at the same time very defensive.

She is almost like a cartoon...not unlike Daffy Duck always despising her nemsis.

The distinction Hillary offers here literally makes no sense. She offers no proof, no further evidence that Obama's only talking about ending the war with no real intention of it other than to state it as if it is fact, not some flimsy opinion. If I could ask her one question, it would be: how is his plan to end the war backed up by many more of foreign policy experts than you have in your camp and now sanctioned by Powell (who believes Obama exhibits the judgement necessary to be president) just talk?

Hillary that supported adamantly going to war in Iraq in 2002 is flipping and flopping about what she will ever do as the most distrustful commander in chief in US history, which makes her the most horror nightmare of many Americans that worry about the security of America.
Hillary is a pacifist that supported the pacifist and reckless Bill Clinton in slashing our army forces and retiring half of the CIA agents in 1996 only to tell the world that it is ‘peace on earth’ time while neglecting the Islamic terrorists danger to America.
Nobody can ever trust one word of the shrill old power- obsessed clueless woman that must be out of her mind to run for becoming commander in chief at time of war.
Hillary must be shameless to seek by all means to become commander in chief while supporting the evil Iran regime and his Islamic terrorists after years of her contempt to our US troops and calling their fight ‘a failure’ including General Petraeus with her “willful suspension of disbelief” attack on him and supporting the ‘Betray-us’ move-on group ad.
Clearly, it is time to ‘retire’ Bill Clinton that the Islamic terrorist leader Arafat was his best guest eight times in the White House and that is lobbying for radical Islamic country Dubai that supports the Al Qaida Islamic terrorist for 15 million dollars against the interests of US.

I guess they can't decide which one would tuck
their tails between their legs and crawl out of
every conflict and bend over in front of every
hostile enemy the fastest.
When there are terrorists and hostile dictators
who would do harm to Americans, I don't want to
sympathize with them, I don't want to consult with
them, I don't want to bribe them. I would much
rather go BIG STICK on them until their descendents down 10 generations won't even think
about pissing us off.
If they want to change, and get along with the rest of the world, fine. If not, they can dry up
and blow away. All foreign aid/trade stops until the changes occur first.

It seem to me that the person that was against the Iraq war from day one will be in a better position to convince the Americans and other countries that resolving the mess in Iraq is the only way forward.

Neither of these clowns have ever served. Call me crazy, but I'm much more willing to trust a former war hero and prisoner of war when it comes to Iraq.

Hillary tried to serve, they just wouldn't take her. She helped Bill serve as commander in chief while in the white house and has the experience that this country needs. She's been instramental in peace talks throughout the world and can use this experience to help us find world peace. Imagine there's no war, no military, no FBI. We can use this savings to help the needy. We can give medical care for everyone. Vote for Hillary. Our country needs the change that she can bring us. We don't need a muslem as president.

I disagree with most of your post here, but I do agree with you that she'd be better than Obama. In fact, I crossed over in the primary here to vote for her.

obama & hillary against the war - they are both liars!!! obama hussein has voted to extend the war & to pay for the war with every vote since becomming senator! On one hand he claims he's is against it, then he's voted EVERY time to fund it! Add this fact to the dozens of lies obama has told, mix in a little racism, and you got a sorry & pathetic liar on our hands!!!

hillary would be a 100% better choice than obama!

McCain would be a 1,000,000% better choice!!!

Initially, just about everyone was fooled about the war! As time goes by, the nation sees what a waste of lives and money it is. I believe that Mrs. Clinton and her advisors would be most able to successfully end the war. McCain would be encouraged to continue the conflict by his military advisors.

Nah! She voted for the war to begin with.
here we have that logic of burning then call the fire department.
Can't be trusted twice. If we did not have any choice between here and McWar, then I would give her a chance.
War is stupid. Even roosters don't fight anymore. At least the last time I checked.
She out to destroy the DNP.
I know it.

<quoted text>What did he do that was heroic? Sing like a canary while a POW. I can assure you his fellow prisoners in that prison camp didnt rat out thier comrads like McCain. And he also crashed 4 jets total while he served.

He refused to be released early from the POW camp unless those captured before him were also released. When the enemy refused, he remained in the camp. Sounds pretty darn heroic to me.

Nice. A little five word post with an attempted insult and nothing more. Not even an attempt to back it up with any type of argument.

Good post. No really, it was good....

If you'll notice, the chair behind the desk in the
oval office is NOT a two-holer! Shillery is no more qualified to be president the wife of a plumber is qualified to fix a toilet.
If we lose this or any war, all the socialist
programs in the world won't be worth anything.
With no military, we have no defence, and open
borders will mean an easy invasion from any/every
other country,( say like Communist RED China )
60% of foreign leaders do not and will never
respect a woman leader. How much of American
Taxpayer's money (it ain't the Governments money,
contrary to what the liberals want us to believe)
are you willing to give away to every two-bit
dictator and tyrant on the "promise" that they will play nice? What will you do if those same
dictators,(using all that foreign aid bribe money
to fatten their pockets, buy weapons and build
palaces, and SHOCK! not providing for their people...) Then attack us, commit atrocities,etc?
ask for a refund? double the foreign aid? triple
it? for another "promise"? being gullible and
stupid is no way to be a president.(see Carter)
Sadly the bleeding heart liberals FEEL it's time
for a "Change", Bad things can be a change, too.
