"I take responsibility for my vote, and I, along with a majority of Americans, expect the president and his administration to take responsibility for the false assurances, faulty evidence and mismanagement of the war," So spake Hillary Clinton looking older, but not sounding wiser. Having to appeal to her eroding far left liberal base, she is once again showing her true colors, which like a chameleon change as the seasons change.
Perhaps we need to remember what really happened and forget the Clinton version of history. On September 12th, 2001, the President of the United States, George W. Bush spoke to the world:
Americans have many questions tonight. Americans are asking: Who attacked our country? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda. They are the same murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for bombing the USS Cole. [Graciously the President did not remind Americans that Hillary was in the Whitehouse when those bombings took place.]
Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.
Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war? We will direct every resource at our command -- every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every necessary weapon of war -- to the disruption and to the defeat of the global terror network.
This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with a decisive liberation of territory and a swift conclusion. It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago, where no ground troops were used and not a single American was lost in combat. [When Hillary now says that the President gave false assurances, does she remember what he said on September 12th?]
Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
Hillary will say that the president promised but failed to enlist the assistance of the United Nations, an organization that her husband has expressed a desire to lead, an organization that is most likely one of the most corrupt and feckless world organization with the possible exception of the European Union. But the president did ask, and was rebuffed, but was not deterred, and retaliated as he should have against forces of evil that are responsible for the most proactive and punitive assault against Americans ever waged on U.S. soil.
We ask every nation to join us. We will ask, and we will need, the help of police forces, intelligence services, and banking systems around the world. The United States is grateful that many nations and many international organizations have already responded -- with sympathy and with support. Nations from Latin America, to Asia, to Africa, to Europe, to the Islamic world. Perhaps the NATO Charter reflects best the attitude of the world: An attack on one is an attack on all.
Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.
It is my hope that in the months and years ahead, life will return almost to normal. We'll go back to our lives and routines, and that is good. Even grief recedes with time and grace. But our resolve must not pass. Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened. We'll remember the moment the news came -- where we were and what we were doing. Some will remember an image of a fire, or a story of rescue. Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever. [Hillary has forgotten. Where is her resolve? Where does her loyalty lie?]
We know that our President has the resolve and integrity that the anti-war far left faction that Hillary leads does not have. Hillary has abandoned the dead in New York City, and in Washington, and the heroes and heroines of 9/11 who died in a field in Pennsylvania. To Hillary they are the forgotten dead, but we have not forgotten, and we must remind Hillary that our friends and loved ones have not died in vain, and we must remind her that this President will avenge their deaths but continuing the good fight until the last act of anti American violence has ended in defeat.
Hillary, read the words of a great President who we honor with our prayers and support:
I will not forget this wound to our country or those who inflicted it. I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people.
Demislammunist Party line parrot. Awwrrrk! Whistle! Pollywannacraker!
you should change your title.
But Hillary. President Bush inherited that intelligence from your husband. If you knew it was faulty why didn't you say so? Or did you intentionally give the Bush administration faulty intelligence knowing that he would actually do something about Saddam Hussein so that you could run for president later?
Exactly. She and her husband perfected the "come down on both sides of an issue" duality a long time ago.
you should change your title
I decided that it was a good hook. Do you know what I mean?
The Clintons ruined this country before, " Are you going to let them screw it all up again??"
"Hillary for President"
Yeah. Of Burkina Faso, Upper Volta or New Caledonia.
now is not the time to let the mentally ill back in the white house.
You will get a lot of hits...hopefully, people read the post before posting a ZOT.
"I take responsibility for my vote, and I, along with a majority of Americans, expect the president and his administration to take responsibility for the false assurances, faulty evidence and mismanagement of the war,"
OMG - I can actually hear the shrill of the beast as I read this. I certainly hope that she never gets any closer to the White House than she is now.
Good thought.
Hillary is not the smartest woman in the world nor is she the smartest lawyer in the world. She is a greedy crook who sees nothing short of herself as a dictator. She is not the almighty; she is just a human being who thinks that the world is designed around her. Just like her husband. There is nothing great about this couple. They are fronts to those who know they have found two people who will sell their souls to the devil.
I truly believe the majority of Americans know this and will not allow her to come near the WH again; nor her husband near the UN.
I just wish they would be allowed to go to jail, because that is truly where they belong. I also believe her own kind will take her down.
Name one thing.....ONE THING she has done other than drive half the country up the wall just knowing she is sitting like a spider waiting to take over. She has ridden the coat tails of her erstwhile liar ex President husband who considers the judicial branch of our country, not important! He lies to a Grand Jury and more or less gets away with it, and no one, least not the MSM even mention it. The Senator from New York ( ILLINOIS), Hillary, has written nothing into law, no new legislation and mouths the words someone else has spoken when she heads up a crowd of KOOL AID drinkers. The fact she WANTS to be President is absolutely awe inspiring....! The STAIN on the White House was put there by these grifters, these carpetbaggers from Arkansas, sadly twice elected by the voters of this country when a big time Texan named Perot ducked out of the frey. It was duck soup, made to order for the Clintons. AND WE DIDN'T ELECT TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE...but got way more than we bargained for.
It's now or never for the evil Hag-Troll.
Never sounds good to me.
I'm sorry. Did I sound supportive of Hillary? I meant to accuse her.
Right gender. Wrong race.

No Kidding! This has to be read, and heard with that whiny, nasal voice we heard in the "I am sick and tired..." rant of Hillarys past...
