Hillary Appeases The Moonbats

Well, it was bound to happen. Mrs. Rodham Clinton has always dodged the question regarding her "yes" vote on the War on Terror, until now:

ABC News' David Chalian Reports: As Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to assess a possible presidential candidacy and the contours of a Democratic nomination fight, she has taken another step away from her 2002 vote authorizing President Bush to attack Iraq by saying that she "wouldn't have voted that way" if she knew everything she knows now.

I see, so you would have voted in favor of allowing Hussein to keep his torture and rape rooms? To continue training terrorists in his country? It would have been better if Iraq had not had free elections and was not a fledgling Democracy and U.S. ally in the Middle East? Are you really this stupid?

No, she isn't. This isn't surprising, or even, frankly, disappointing. It's expected. She is Hillary Clinton, Democrat, and her votes hinge on whatever is politically expedient at the time, not based on anything like principle or belief. She voted for the War on Terror because she knew it would be politically deadly if she didn't. Now, the moonbats are on her back about it and she wants to be President, therefore she wants their money, so now she's changing her mind. Just like many of her leftist brethren in the Senate. The kooks will eat it up, make no mistake. They'll believe her.

Just watch. If Bush is planning a "big push" or other military strategy and he is successful, if the region starts to stabilize and the U.S. smacks the terrorists down in a big way, watch the backpedaling.

By the way, Jim, welcome back! Glad your power is back on, and we sure missed you here at Hard Starboard.
