5 Point attack?

[BridgeTheGap]

Hillary: “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.”

Doesn't she know that Dick Cheney was in charge of foreign policy and that the Project for A New American Century (the neo-cons) wrote the policy the White House pursued?

Yes, Bush lacked both experience and wisdom BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHY HE WAS THERE and Dick Cheney was selected to be vice-president - to carry out the plan of the neo-cons. It is being carried out in Iraq right now and Dems in leadership positions in the House and Senate should have known what was going on from the get go and worked to put a stop to it.

Obama is so clearly not Bush and the world knows it. HRC, you can do better than this, can't you?

1. Her strategists evidently came up with the 5-point attack as a

response to her recent drop in polling and in response to the Obama campaign's evident rise.

As many columnists have pointed out, the Clinton team clearly thought they'd have the nomination in the bag by the evening of Feb. 5th.

That didn't happen.

So now the kitchen sink strategy.

It might work, or not. Either way it's not very impressive as political strategy. Texas is now a draw and Ohio is tightening.

2. She is going for plausible deniability

Telling the audience that she is "honored, honored" to be sitting with Barack just prior to unleashing a 5-prong attack. This sets up up for her faux outrage (I *trusted* you, Barack! You aren't what I thought...)

Time will tell if it plays or if she comes off looking completely off the rails.

8. Interesting take.

I hadn't considered that, but it makes sense, especially since the mailers were not new.

3. The tragically Hillary-ous part is that she thinks SHE knows anything about foreign policy.

She's been a disaster. Obama's speech in 2002 on Iraq proves he understood it better then than she does now.

4. Knowing about his lack of wisdom and experience, she supported him all the way. IWR. AND she was

on the armed forces committee. Good grief.

5. That and I heard Dennis Kucinich in March of '03 saying that the

inteligence used to justify invading Iraq was bogus. He also said that many Dems knew it to be bogus too but were going along with it any way, evidently affraid to stand up to Bush. In other words, HRC & others were driven by political concerns rather than standing up for what's right.

6. In other words they have no plan. Throw anything they can at him.

like i said, hillary is ruining the chances of women running for president imo.

7. I hope they don't resort to plagiarism but words don't mean anything anyway n.t

9. Otherwise known as the "kitchen sink fusillade"

...Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is now unleashing what one Clinton aide called a "kitchen sink" fusillade...

10. What was Bill's experience on foreign policy when he first ran?

or did she forget to mention it?

11. Well, he liked Cuban cigars! n.t
