Hillary Clinton speaking to AIPAC Live now on C-Span2 during quorum call.

[flpoljunkie]

Our troops in Iraq are on "freedom's front line."

[hector459]

1. Gag me. How many more of our Congress are bending over?

It's obscene what people will do for money and power.

[katmondoo]

4. I thought I was listening to a Bushie

[TheGunslinger]

8. You were

If Hillary gets the Dem nod for 2008, we're fucked.

[Nikki Stone 1]

9. How do you figure that?

Not a challenge at all... Just curious.

[TheGunslinger]

11. Because she's right in-line with Lieberman

The AIPAC would flourish just as much under her as well as the military-industrial complex.

[welshTerrier2]

2. i think what she meant to say ...

was that our troops in Iraq are on "Halliburton's BOTTOM line" ...

I wondered what happened, is that the case?

[Terran1212]

5. I saw one of her speech's in person

She talked about how Iraqi and Afghani women want us to help them with their freedom.

I'm sure rape, torture, and bombing (which is breeding a return to islamic nationalism) has helped their situation plenty.

[tinanator]

12. just be glad the Saudi women are content in their place

otherwise God only knows we would be in a sticky spot there.

[Donna Zen]

6. ssshhhh!

We will soon be told to vote for her or all will be lost. Actually, Donna Brazile has already said that.


Syria must be punished! (who said that?)

plan B

[Nikki Stone 1]

7. Syria? Is that the next target?

14. James Wolcott's hilarious take of Hilary's AIPAC speech...

http://jameswolcott.com/archives/2005/05/little_bully_lo.php

Hillary Clinton spoke at the AIPAC conference today and I gather from another Corner dispatch that she did everything short of squatting and hatching a bunker-buster on a bed of straw to show the audience she shared their concerns.

P.S.: The Financial Times' Observer column today has more about Hillary's wowzer.

"To be more Catholic than the pope is not the appropriate metaphor but Senator Hillary Clinton managed to upstage Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, in being tough on Mahmoud Abbas, the new Palestinian president...

"She won standing ovations for an uncompromising speech that could have been written by the White House or Sharon's Likud party."

These days, how can we be sure it wasn't?

16. If we continue to argue

among the anti-war Dems., then Hillary it will be.

How many congress critters will be endorsing anyone but Hillary? What union will be endorsing anyone but Hillary? What big money wheeler-dealer will be pulling out the big bucks for anyone but Hillary?

Exactly.

And so while we argue; they plot plan B.

ABH

18. Good points.

it would be nice if we could have a grassroots preprimary that would allow the anti war candidates to state their case, and let us pick which one will go against that pro war asshole.

[Donna Zen]

20. If we don't get something together

Then in a year or so when I open these pages it will be one thread after another celebrating some phony who votes for war and asks me for money.

Really sad.

[CWebster]

21. What will happen is everyone will get swept up

in the manufactured inevitability and they will neglect to draw the lines between this thread and the pep rally for Clinton.

That is what is so sad. Cognitive dissonance.

[Township75]

23. If that happens

where the party members decide to get swept up in star power as opposed to ideals, I will be running away from the party fast.

The primaries are so far away, and I already have such strong feelings about it...maybe I need to take a break from all of this.
