Hillary Says Harry Reid Was Right: Iraq War Is Lost, “We Cannot Win”
I guess Hunter S. Thompson was right…the grind drives every Presidential candidate insane…suicidal move…how detached is this bitch?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton charged on Monday the Iraq war may cost Americans $1 trillion and add strain to the sagging U.S. economy as she made her case for a prompt U.S. troop pullout from a war “we cannot win.”
This week marks the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, but the economy’s woes competed for attention as the top issue facing voters when they choose their next president in November.
Clinton, the former first lady who is trying to convince Americans she has foreign policy gravitas, hurled criticism over Iraq at her two rivals, Illinois Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain.
New York Sen. Clinton pointedly noted that while Obama insists he will withdraw U.S. troops in Iraq within 16 months of taking office, his former foreign policy adviser, Samantha Power, had said he might not follow through on the pledge.
“In uncertain times, we cannot afford uncertain leadership,” Clinton said. Power resigned after a British newspaper quoted her calling Clinton a “monster.”
Obama, who routinely scolds Clinton for having voted for a 2002 Senate resolution that authorized the war, fired back: “It was an unwise war which is why I opposed it in 2002 and why I will bring this war to an end in 2009.”
Obama, who leads Clinton in nominating delegates with the important Pennsylvania contest coming up on April 22, began a second straight week on the defensive.
Obama, the Illinois senator who would be the first U.S. black president, scheduled a speech about race for Tuesday in Philadelphia to try to put to rest questions about his Chicago preacher, Jeremiah Wright, an African-American who sometimes laces his sermons with anti-American rhetoric.
“I am going to be talking about not just Reverend Wright, but the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he said in Monaca, Pennsylvania.

Took her long enough. So, is Ann Coulter still backing her?
March 17th, 2008 at 2:21 pmEverytime these two idiots speak, I feel better about the future. They are trying to out-surrender each other… trying to be the most cowardly candidate in the face of tyranny. I think McCain is going to look like a better choice to most people this November.
March 17th, 2008 at 2:25 pmShe finally said it….and now McCain, if he is willing to use it against her, can win with this. I just hope he has the stomach to fight the Dems in terms they can understand.
March 17th, 2008 at 2:30 pmMcCain is going to get the win.
Beautiful this info should come out on St. Patrick’s Day.
March 17th, 2008 at 2:50 pmDoing the monster jig.

The United States looses with this woman.
March 17th, 2008 at 5:08 pmA surrender monkey of the first order.
God help us.
One word BITC-.
March 17th, 2008 at 5:14 pmHussein would be far worse. Rush is right. Let them fight it out….Dem convention in Denver…..Back to Summer of 68… Chicago…
March 17th, 2008 at 5:25 pmSomehow, I think if Hillary were to become CiC the intro song would be changed from “Hail To The Chief” to “Dust In The Wind” …
March 17th, 2008 at 5:29 pmSo far, John McCain has tried to fight the good fight, but dueling at fifty paces is long out of vogue in the world of politics.
March 17th, 2008 at 5:44 pmHe can make his point honorably and convincingly if he has the testicular fortitude to take it to ‘em. God knows there is plenty of political ammo.
I don’t doubt his fortitude, but where are his loyalties?
I’m not so much worried that either Clinton or Obama might conceivably win this contest…but we have to come to the realization that there is an awful lot of people in this country who think the same as these two communist degenerates and who are not prepared to concede a lasting victory to those of us who are traditionalist Constitutional Americans.
I say, keep your action oiled up and handy and hope to Christ it don’t come to that.
Soros?

Hope the Denver police are well stocked with rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons.
March 17th, 2008 at 6:08 pmThe terrorists love this bitch as much as they love Obama.
March 17th, 2008 at 6:15 pmI live in Denver, may be a good time for a vacation
March 17th, 2008 at 9:00 pmWhere’s her burqa?
March 18th, 2008 at 1:00 amI just finished reading a book by a retired FBI agent that said most of the Clinton white house “staff” couldn’t pass their security clearance, due to heavy drug use, BK, wife beating, failure to file/pay taxes, etc., many never got one and handled/entered secure areas regardless, on orders of Hillary. So…what kind of breaches occurred? Anyone ever wonder how the Chinese got missile defense and other stuff? Yeah, these two fake dem candidates are the best this country has to offer? Scary!
