Clinton as Commander in Chief? "Condi Rice called me and said, You didn't ask any questions..."
Clinton: Rice linked Iraq vote, inspections:

Following up on what Ambassador Richard Holbrooke told us earlier this week regarding Hillary Clinton's vote to authorize the use of military force against Iraq, we asked Sen. Clinton today if it was correct that Colin Powell had persuaded her that the resolution could be a vote to avoid war rather than a vote for war.

She replied: "No, it wasn't Colin Powell. it was Condi Rice. Condi Rice told me specifically when I was still weighing all of the evidence, and I had been to the White House one last time -- I think, if I'm not mistaken, it was Oct. 8 -- and I'd had the whole presentation by the CIA and others and I hadn't asked any questions, I had listened. And I went back to my office, and Condi Rice called me and said, You didn't ask any questions, do you have any questions? I said I only have one: Will you use this authorization to put inspectors back in, so that we can find out whether any of this is true, how much WMD he still has or has reconstituted? She said, Yes, that's what it's intended to do. I think Dick might have gotten confused."


Hillary's campaign issues deceptive release that shows Bill Clinton distorted Obama's words

1. So...Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Chuck Hagel--all implicated at various
times in tricking her into voting for the IWR. It's never her fault, is it?

2. "taking responsibility", Clinton style.
"I did not have sex with that resolution!"

5. Yep. Never admit you fucked up, never admit you regret anything--
it's a sign of weakness that the VRWC will exploit.

9. Sign of weakness
Yes, it is. What part of that is hard to understand?

Don't you remember Kerry as "flip-flopper"?

6. Knock that off. It is not Bill running and I am sick of that "not have sexual relations" crap.
Look up sexual relations in the dictionary. It is coitus, not oral sex.
