Hillary for Vice President
Sign the Petition on the Forum

Hillary fans are urging the John Kerry campaign, his supporters and concerned American voters to choose Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as his Vice President.

Hillary is the ideal Vice President for Sen. Kerry. Her clear vision, established alliances and fierce commitment to staying the course in Iraq makes her the best possible person in this country, and possibly even the world, to restore America's credibility and build a broader international coalition for a successful peace strategy in Iraq. Hillary will not retreat. Americans can depend on her to strongly oppose any cut-and-run strategy.

In Hillary's own words: "Now that we're there, we have no choice, we own this issue." Hillary, who visited Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Pakistan over Thanksgiving, understands that fulfilling America's promise in Iraq will be with us for years to come.

Hillary has the proven diplomatic skills to prod the United Nations into playing a larger role and re-engage as they have offered to do. At the United Nations where she receives standing ovations Hillary is well respected, popular, and able to restore the credibility we have lost. This means she could work with the U.N. and NATO to gain their cooperation in bringing international peacekeeping forces and increased reconstruction aid to Iraq.

In a report, February 25, 2004, MSNBC, by Tom Curry, National affairs writer, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a member of the Senate Armed Service Committee, called for a vigorous election-year debate about the future size and composition of the U.S. armed forces.

Clinton urged an increase in the size of the Army, supporting a proposal by Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) to expand the Army by 10,000 soldiers.

Noting that she had conducted a tour of U.S. deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq last November, she said there are not enough American troops in either country. Clinton said U.S. officers in Iraq had specifically told her that they did not have enough troops to accomplish their mission.

"Off the record, they'll tell you they don't have enough and have never had enough," she said.

She also said that "we have fewer troops in Afghanistan than we had law enforcement (officers) at the Olympics in Salt Lake City."

Because Hillary is so highly regarded and well connected to international institutions, she can rebuild alliances with many of the parties in Europe and the Arab world (many of whom she has personally met) that have an interest in Iraq's success. Hillary understands that no nation, not even one as powerful as the U.S., can protect its interests without help.
