The Many Faces of Hillary Clinton

Not that I think it will slow down her march to the presidency much, if at all, but I am duty bound to pass on this anti-military action from Senator Thunder Thighs:

During his speech at Fort Bragg Tuesday night, President Bush urged young Americans to consider a career in the military, saying "there is no higher calling than service in our armed forces."

But if Senator Hillary Clinton has her way, it's going to be even harder for the military to meet its recruitment goals.

In a statement posted to her official Senate Web site, Clinton blasts the Pentagon for "infringing on the privacy of high school students" by trying to find out if any of them might be good candidates for voluntary military service.

In an apparent blast at the armed forces, Clinton declared, "It is critical that we do everything we can to make sure that our most sensitive personal information stays out of the wrong hands."

The Pentagon - "the wrong hands"?

Her words, ladies and gents. Rather curious for someone who scored a seat on the Armed Services Committee as a means of building up credibility on national security issues. If she were any other Dem I would take one look at such dizzying zig-zagging and dismiss her presidential ambitions as something not to be taken seriously.

But this is Hillary CLINTON we're talking about. And the normal rules of politics do not apply to her or her weak-tickered, lothario hubby.

Still, it doesn't hurt to file blurbs like this away for future reference. Who knows, they might still make a difference.

Or she might co-sponsor a bill to reinstate a military draft. Amazingly enough, that would be her most logical next step.

If so, don't be surprised if she suckers a Republican into being her fall guy co-sponsor.

Chuck Hagel better turn off his cell phone for the next few weeks.

UPDATE: I'm guessing Mrs. Clinton won't like this report....
