16. i originally had the second part and chose to remove it
Edited on Tue Jul-24-07 11:29 AM by welshTerrier2
the main point is that Clinton lied last night. even saying she's for ending the war as soon as possible doesn't change that. she exploited the widely held position of the Democratic Party as of last November, i.e. a support for some kind of timeline, as if it were her position. It clearly was NOT her position.

and, btw, I chose not to include the second part of the quote because it is exactly the wiggle words bullshit that characterizes Clinton's whole campaign. feel free to use it as a separate thread. I'd love that.

bush is for "ending the war as soon as possible." so is cheney. they all say that. and it's total bullshit. what does "as soon as possible" even mean? is it clear? does it specify a policy? it's just wiggle words in search of more votes.

there are two ways the Congress could put an end to this war. one is to cutoff funding. the other is to impeach bush and remove him from office. if Clinton is really for "ending this war as soon as possible", what, exactly, is she prepared to actually do to make that happen. the answer is that she isn't prepared to do anything.
