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 Americas 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 Hillarys 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, theyll tell you they dont 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 Iraqs success. Hillary understands that no nation, not even one as powerful as the U.S., can protect its interests without help.

Received this from a friend. I could post about 20 pages of comments. But I won't spoil your fun. Have at it!
Dumbest move Kerry could make.
Actually, my prediction is that Billyboy will be the VP choice and then, shortly before the Demo's convention, something will make Kerry "unelectable", the Demos will draft Hillary and we will have a Clinton/Clinton ticket.
I like this part the most, it implies that Kerry cannot be relied upon.
Maybe she should tell us why that is.
Alamo-girl pretty much documents it here:
Read that and get back to us, Hillary.
I think we already had one... Al Gore was just a prop. I think we all know the real VP was Hillary!
But I think he's gonna give her the Supreme Court.
How DARE you guys impugn my screen name!!Pardon me while I go whine to the Grand Supreme Moderator :)
So what is there about Hillary that makes her "the ideal VP for Kerry"? The rest of the paragraph talks about qualities that she (supposedly) has -- is the author saying that Kerry NEEDS a candidate with these characteristics?
I am just amazed that the Dem bandwagon is carrying a fellow who is just a vacuum. No issues, no personality, no anything. He's just the non-Bush, just the vehicle for Hillary.
