I'LL END WAR: ANGRY PLEDGE: MAKE ME PREZ AND IT'S DONE!

Pumping her fists and shouting to the rooftops, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed yesterday to bring an immediate end to the war in Iraq if she's elected president.

"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will," Clinton pledged in a speech to the Democratic faithful as she staked out a new position on the conflict.

While she has been escalating her criticism of the war for months, yesterday was the first time Clinton spoke about what she would do about it if she wins the White House in 2008.

The former first lady's pledge to pull the plug on Iraq and bring the troops home came during the Democratic National Committee's annual winter meeting. She and her top-tier White House rivals, Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards, took tough stands against the war.

Clinton, raising her voice at one point to be heard above a few anti-war hecklers, also suggested that calls from Edwards and others to cut off funding for President Bush's troop increase are unlikely to win approval in a narrowly divided Senate.

"Believe me, I understand the frustration and the outrage," said Clinton, who is backing a Senate resolution that expresses disapproval of the troop surge but would not cut off funding.

--Snip--

Clinton was heckled by a handful of anti-war activists, including one man who dressed in desert camouflage that read "Iraq Veterans Against the War," and barked, "Bring them home."

But the war critics were outnumbered by Clinton backers who waved her signature blue campaign placards at high points in her 20-minute speech.

"If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war," she said.

Hearing anything from our about Hillary is almost enough to make me feel sorry for Bill and understand why he's always looking the other way. What a despicable human being.

Wow...put a little mustache on her and she'd be the spitting image of Hitler screaming at the Nuremberg rallies!

Can Final Cut Pro rotoscope indivdual frames to put a mustache on a video clip, I wonder?

So, All, did any of her madness make the network newscasts this weekend? How about her Chavez bit? The RNC had better be busy getting all of this on file.

"If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war,"

I see, so it was US who started this whole mess............For some reason 9/11/01 stands out in my mind as a significant date in our history.

Thanks for making this a thread. Did you scream, too, when you first saw it this morning?

I didn't scream - I laughed. I saw the picture here yesterday on threads wondering if any newspaper would run with it... and of course, the New York Post did. The Daily News didn't have the guts to run it (although they have a very small head shot picture of Hillary! looking somewhat angry on page 16).

As I posted earlier, shame it's not a weekday edition as millions of commuters would have viewed that cover.

It sure is a shame that it had to run on the least-read day of the week... but at least they ran it.

"Did you miss a word?"

No. I have no idea where that came from. I must have misplaced my brain. Have you seen it?

I still think that if Hitlery ever became President, it would be the Secret Service that would be the ones to eventually shoot her.
