A Justified Hillary

Whenever anyone brings up the Hillary-why’d-you-vote-for-it question for supporting the Bush administration taking the nation to war in Iraq, it must befuddle the Senator as much as it does me. At that time, she couldn’t ignore the emotional outcries from the majority of citizens, who demanded patriotism from every corner in their lives. Whether they were sincere or grandstanding a situation, they evoked a manic demonstration of American eagles, flags and ribbons. 9-11 made an indelible mark on hearts and minds. Hillary went with the flow. It was the right thing to do: get those weapons of mast destruction out of Iraq. I doubt many foresaw how the eventual military mess that Bush & Company would endanger so many of our troops, with no foreseeable success.

If the current sad state of affairs has been an orchestrated effort, it was composed with the help of all the Vice-President’s men. The President continues to put our democratic freedom at odds with the perception from the rest of the world. , making us less civilized in the eyes of other countries. Public opinion of our involvement in Iraq has turned against continuing the war, yet many cringe at the cut-and-run option. We are not cowards.

So, Hillary is going with the flow, again. It’s the right thing to do: admit the President’s failure to win his war, and take a responsible stance for future involvement in international matters, which does not include surrendering to our basis of being in the Middle East.

The Lady In Waiting was duped by the President, as were the rest of us. His strategy was political. Hillary’s response was political. If anyone should question someone’s action and he/she doesn’t respond, politics is the honest answer. Apology not accepted.
