Well, this is a great statement to make, on a number of levels. Last week, Hillary Clinton admitted that the Iraq surge was working, but that it was too late, and we still needed to bring our troops home.
Really? Now that we're winning, it's time to quit?
What an astonishingly stupid thing to believe, and an even more astonishingly stupid thing to say out loud. I suppose that belief is one reason Clinton is the least popular presidential candidate (from either party) in a recent Gallup poll of the U.S. military, and has the highest negatives of any candidate with the general public.
But wait, there's more! In that same statement she also said, "We can't be fighting the last war. We have to keep preparing to fight the new war. We have to win." Hm, that's odd...didn't her husband, former President Bill Clinton -- who said he was 'obsessed with bin Laden' and later was proven to have lied about it -- actually decide not to take Osama bin Laden into U.S. custody when the Sudan offered him to us back in 1996? Also, didn't the Clinton administration gut the military, slash its budget, and erect the 'wall' that prevented the CIA from talking to the FBI, drastically reducing the possibility of averting 9/11?
Let's think about this for a moment...obsessed with bin Laden...fighting the next war...cripple our ability to fight...no thanks, we don't want bin Laden...
It looks like Hillary is seeking to dethrone John-I-voted-for-the-war-before-I-voted-against-it-Kerry as the biggest flip-flopper in politics today.
There's my two cents.
