JOSHUA FRANK: Bird-Dogging Hillary Clinton --The Antiwar Movement Steps Up
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 10:44 AM by Tace
By Joshua Frank -- World News Trust

One has to be pleased that the antiwar movement is taking shape. Finally the target isn’t just George W. Bush and gang. Tuesday night at a chic Manhattan fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, antiwar activists staked out the Senator and vowed to do so until she changes her position on the war.

Senator Clinton released a letter last week which clarified her (non) position on Iraq. She said she wouldn’t accept any timetable for withdrawal and won’t even embrace a "redeployment” of U.S. troops along the lines of Rep. Murtha.

Americans expect the president and his administration to take responsibility for the false assurances, faulty evidence and mismanagement of the war," Clinton wrote in her lengthy letter that amounted to nothing short of denial for her own culpability in the mess.

Sen. Clinton spoke Friday at an event in Kentucky where she reiterated her position. "The time has come for the administration to stop serving up platitudes and present a plan for finishing this war with success and honor," she said. "I reject a rigid timetable that the terrorists can exploit, and I reject an open timetable that has no ending attached to it.”

1. Is Hilary a Dem or a repuke?
Sorry, but her positions don't seem to be all that different from Bush's, especially since she co-sponsored that flag burning bill.

seems that she`s reached the age where she forgot or doesn`t want to remember her anti-nam days.or maybe was it the fascination with bill? since i can`t say what i think of her i guess that`s all all have to say.
