An argument Hillary cannot win
By Creature
Hillary:
Dear, Hillary, you gave this president, the one with "neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security" the authorization to go to war. You trusted the man who you now say had "neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security". You gave him the benefit of the doubt. You let him go to fucking war. You want to go down this road, feel free. This is an argument you cannot win.
And, as far as throwing the kitchen sick, as far as painting Obama as the unpatriotic scary Muslim terrorist, go right ahead. I am so sick of you, your campaign, and your supporters, playing dumb to this shit I can't even begin. I've tried at every turn to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm done. Go ahead, slash, burn, go out swinging. I look forward to the backlash.

"We’ve seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security," Mrs. Clinton said in a speech on foreign policy at George Washington University. "We can’t let that happen again."

As someone who initially bought Colin Powell's story about mobile labs and other lies, I'm a bit more sympathetic. The pressure to be "patriotic" was overwhelming and the price of questioning was very high.
Can we really be sure how he would have voted if he had been a US senator at the time. knowing the pressure that would have been put on him - the denunciations, the accusations of being a traitor, a wimp, a cut and run Liberal at a time when Bush had a 90% approval rating?
I don't think either candidate is a devil or angel and it bothers me how this has become another Good Vs. Evil issue.

I agree, we cannot know how Obama would have voted, but when voices were needed against this travesty of a war he spoke out, and that counts a lot in my book.

He had less to lose than Clinton did at the time. I certainly count it as a plus, but if we paid a tenth as much attention to the differences between the Republican candidate and these two, I think we would be better off.
There's a lot more danger inherent in electing another imperialist twit than there is in choosing Clinton over Obama - and yes, he's my choice du jour too.
