Hillary looks like she has been duped by Bush, . . . . again.
Isn't the sign of intelligence not making the same exact mistakes over & over again?
Is Hillary too old a dog to learn new tricks?
Certainly looks that way.
In Wake of Intelligence Report Rivals Pounce on Clinton's Iran Vote
Max Follmer, 4 Dec 07
A new assessment by the nation's intelligence community that says Iran halted its covert nuclear weapons program in 2003 provided fresh ammunition Tuesday for Democratic presidential candidates seeking to portray Sen. Hillary Clinton as too hawkish on Iran.
In an Iowa radio debate hosted by NPR News Tuesday afternoon, several of the candidates sharply criticized Clinton's September vote to declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization as misguided, and characterized it as part of the Bush Administration's efforts at saber-rattling in the Persian Gulf.
"Among the Democratic candidates there's only one who voted for this [Iran] resolution. And this is exactly what Bush and Cheney wanted," said former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.
The non-binding resolution, known as the Kyl-Lieberman bill, passed 76-22, with Illinois Sen. Barack Obama skipping the vote.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/04/in-wake-of-intelligence-r_n_75343.html
If after years of working around [with?] Bush if she can't assess him & his agenda properly, how the heck is she going to deal with foreign leaders who have their own agendas?
Doesn't exactly paint the picture of an insightful, properly skeptical leader does it?
Honestly she seems like Bush light. & in this case that is exactly what she was, playing right into Cheney's hands.
Is she not able to talk to people in the intelligence community? The original report came out in 2006. For that matter is the entire Senate [congress?] in the dark while they make these inflammatory actions like calling part of a foreign nation's military a 'terrorist' group?
With our NSA & CIA isn't that a bit like the pot calling the kettle black?
One shudders to think this is our supposedly 'respectable' and 'responsible' government in action.
Stabbing around in the dark, killing innocent people.
For god's sake if you aren't smart enough to turn on a light then put the god damned knife down.
