5. She ought to be tough....

She has a lot to do to make up for supporting this horrible war from the beginning.

3. K&R! Well done, Senator Clinton.

4. It's the Senator Clinton we should expect to see -- great job!!!

6. WTF!?! Did we see the same video?

I have been severely disappointed with the performance of our Democratic representatives on the committee. They blather on in pointless monologues, using up the handful minutes they have allocated for questions, and then ask stupid questions. All I saw was that repeated here. Clinton spent almost all of her time reciting facts EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS, and has already been repeated by other members of the committee! She then asks a "Gotcha!" question of Petreus, which doesn't give us any insight into plans, strategy, or anything even having to do with other than Petreus said things which might be vaguely contradictory. Then a pointless question to the Ambassador: "Should we act diplomatically with the Iraqi neighbors?" Well, duh. How do you think the guy would respond?

At least she took the time to ask two lame questions. That embarrassing fool Boxer used up all her time without asking one damn question!

Just terrible performances. Its sad when Republican hacks like Hagel ask more direct and enlightening questions than our own people. Just terrible.

7. She was fooled into by war by *.

And admits to it! We can't expect her to come up with pointed questions NOW after she lead us into this mess with her support for the occupation!

[candice]

8. Wasn't the Congress mislead...not given the real intelligence reports?

The vote was to allow Bu$h Co. authorization to pursue all diplomatic efforts first, wasn't it?

[muryan]

9. dont let facts stand in the way of fanaticism

its a buzz kill man

[iaviate1]

12. I stated a fact that you two don't like...

And in reality, you're the fanatic with your support for somebody who was fooled by Bush into war. I'm familiar with the tactics of attacking the messenger instead of the issue... the Bush administration does it well. I shouldn't have to expect it on this board.

[iaviate1]

11. And she trusted * to do that?

Another stupid mistake.

14. Hillary's support of the Iraq War - 23 voted Nay

23 Senators voted against the authorization of force in 2002 - Hillary did not. Hillary continued to support the war in Iraq up until the November 2006 election. After that election, her position, conveniently, began to change. By this time Rumsfeld had been dumped and the war was still going badly.

10. are you expecting honest answers out of these people?

they've controlled the debate for 6 years and its about time our people had their say. SO yes im glad they spend the majority of their allocation driving home points that wouldnt be heard by these people otherwise. They certainly arent talking to us lowly citizens and they damn sure wont pay attention to the media. This is the only time they can be told the truth about the frustration this country feels

[lebkuchen]

15. I would have liked to have had her for my lawyer
