1. kick... please watch. Especially if you've yet to vote in the primary. n/t

[blogslut]

2. And I quote:

"And I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information and intelligence that I had available.."

She read everything she had available, except the NIE.

[The Wielding Truth]

3. Someone's in love with Barack Obama.........Wonder Who?

:kick: It's good to be passionate about someone who you trust.

[thunder rising]

4. The end is the best...she's presented a pink slip and gets pissy ... That's Hillary.

[JVS]

18. heh heh heh

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

5. Michelle?

Wild guess.

The kids probably have a bad case, too.

[The Wielding Truth]

9. blogslut --- avatar and insert picture ---- they are smitten.

[blogslut]

10. Thank you

It's nice to be realistic as well.

For example, I know the difference between romantic love and admiration for an elected official. I know that politicians are politicians and I have no illusions about our prospects for definitive change, no matter which Democrat wins the GE.

I've watched Democratic Presidents take office and break their promises or be rendered unable to make definitive change, due to Republican obstruction. I know that if Barack Obama gets done one quarter of what he promises, we'll be better off as a nation. I know that Hillary Clinton is also a better choice than any Republican.

I have always stated that the kind of person we need as president will never run for president.

I choose Barack Obama, not because I think he is super-human or because I like his face. I choose him because he's the best choice I've had in my 20 years of voting. Brilliant, energetic, influential, unpolluted and even-tempered.

You choose whomever you want.

[The Wielding Truth]

17. It's good you are fired up, and ready to go. I'm almost there.

:toast:

[Windy]

6. keep kicked. nt

[Cha]

7. Kick for hilary and her

"pissy" response when she got pink slipped.

[K Gardner]

8. This is damning. Barak needs to use this.. she goes on and on about her "experience" in making

this "difficult decision". Then she comes unglued at the end. That looks familiar. Wow.

[psychopomp]

11. One woman asks a great question, linking the coming war with the economy

She mentions that the war will (and, of course has) be a drain on our economy, which affects women and children disproportionately.

Hillary gets visibly wound up over that question and goes on making a case for blowing Iraqis to bits.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Love the way she blames Saddam

Today she blames the Iraqi people.

Yeah, Hillary, the US is not to blame at all in this situation. :sarcasm:

[kdpeters]

13. God Bless Code Pink. n/t

[speedoo]

14. "I am (9/11) the senator (9/11) from (9/11) New York!! (9/11)"

sounds like....

"I am the Decider!!"

Un-fucking-believable.

[AZBlue]

27. You forgot the trademark "TM" - be careful!

;)

[The Wielding Truth]

Hilliary was wrong. Code Pink had a better perspective.

This was not Kosavo. It was a twisted Rovian concoction that took a difficult and tense situation and applied the Middle East remake plan to control the oil and give an easy method of infiltration to the area under guise of war.

Sorry, Hillary you were either to close or to easily convinced that this was a similar situation.

Then again, wasn't their an exit strategy in Kosavo and a prepared and well planned campaign to handle the peace keeping efforts? Shouldn't she have known from Bush's record that he must be closely examined and never trusted to execute a clean and thought out production unless it's to benefit his oil people?

[FrenchieCat]

15. Watched, and made favorite at youtube......

and kicked and Rec this thread.

This will become another commercial.

Hillary Clinton, stay away from our goddam Phone! Do not answer! period.

[CONN]

16. And this is why she will lose...

and IMO she supported the war because she thought it would serve her political aspirations. All the lives lost and hurt.

[99th_Monkey]

19. But HIllary has seen the light now

now that millions of very pissed off anti-war voters have swarmed the polls, primaries and caucuses... now carrying Obama
to the nomination.

[dana_b]

23. Exactly!!

Politics politics.... it fascinates and disgusts. What I like is that Code Pink has the balls (yes, these women have balls!) to stand up for their position and they are steadfast. I live near S.F. and I see all the time how they are so persistent and resolute. Admittedly some of their tactics are extreme and so people label them as loony. However their message has never changed. HRC could take a lesson or two from them. Probably most politicians could.

[Tom Joad]

20. another kick for my friend Medea. She roooooocks!

[Tom Joad]

21. Hillary owes her defeat to this group... they kept at her for months, long before

most of the country had even heard of Obama. People knew how she voted, because of Code Pink.
Thank the brave women who fight for principles rather than opportunism.

[fed-up]

22. so she hates the UN because they would not back Bill-she sold us down the river nt

[NOLALady]

24. My My.

:kick:

[Johnny__Motown]

25. K&R thanks for the great post,

[karynnj]

26. What is bad is that this is March 6 - after Saddam let the inspectors in

they found nothing and he had destroyed missiles. In her case, it doesn't seem like she is saying the diplomacy is not exhausted and teh inspectors are still doing productive work.

[FrenchieCat]

28. Aye!

[sandnsea]

31. She's towing the Bush line

She supported the war. I don't care what kind of weasel words she used to give herself an out. The bottom line is she did not use the leverage her and Bill have to lead an opposition to the war.

[karynnj]

32. Exactly

I remember in 2003, waiting for the Clintons to get on TV and argue for giving "peace a chance" and giving the inspectors more time. The fact that Saddam demanded that there would be no coverage on Iraqi TV of missiles being destroyed showed that he feared that it could weaken his hold on the government. There were also still stories of a brokered deal on our TV. There were no people in the Democratic people with the power, ability to get TV and the gravitas of the Clintons. Gore had spoken out, but the obvious and understandable anger he showed had let the media marginalize him.

This is why Bill's "I was always against the war" was so repugnant. He did not lead when he may have been the only one with the real ability to do so.

[Major Hogwash]

38. Wow, I never saw this. Sort of turns the table on what she has been saying lately.

Man, this is devastating.

Somebody should do a Youtube of this and juxtapose it with what she has said lately.

[karynnj]

40. I agree with you here

Before the 2006 election, Bill Clinton made the point that none of the Democrats voted for war, but to get the inspectors in and to give Bush leverage at the UN (from memory - so wording not exact). This is the line that HRC has used since then. The problem is that on something as serious as this, if you did give your vote to give Bush leverage to do as he promised, wouldn't you speak out. You put your good name on the line and you should be even angrier than the people who didn't? By March 4, it was clear Bush was going to war and unless there were parts cut out, there is nothing here that is calling for slowing the rush to war.

HRC was also NOT one of the people who signed John Kerry's 2005 letter to the intelligence committee demanding that Part 2 of the intelligence report be completed and that the Downing Street memos be examined as part of this effort. If you signed your name to the IWR, partially due to lies, wouldn't you want sunlight on the people who lied to you?

[mythyc]

29. k&r --- thanks for posting

and a kick b/c this deems close attention to anyone who's not brainwashed by her rhetoric. i'll be back later to bump it back to the top again.

someone needs to combine her speech here with any of the 100s of reels out there of her denying that the IRW was a vote for military action.

[ScottS]

30. wow, very interesting

[Avalux]

33. She's always so sure of herself, even when completely wrong. Who does that remind you of?

This is a great video and is an example of why I could not support Hillary. Thanks for posting. :hi:

[shadowknows69]

34. Code Pink rocks so hard

Medea for President!!!

[EmilyAnne]

35. I'd like to hear from some Hillary supporters about this.

What can be said? How can she be defended here?

[psychopomp]

36. Nice little time capsule

It really illustrates what is wrong with Sen. Clinton. She tries to defend the indefensible and ends up on the wrong side. She should have been out there singing for peace with those people but instead just repeated what she heard Dumbya say about chemical weapons and other nonsense.

[skipos]

37. Wow. Whoever spoke at @11 min sure had some foresight. nt

[Sir Jeffrey]
