Love her position on the war or hate it, you can’t argue that she’s waffled. And isn’t that what we want in a politician?
Here is senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in December 2003: “Now that we’re [in Iraq], we have no choice. We own this issue. There is no doubt that we’re going to be there for years,” and “Whether you agreed or not that we should be in Iraq, failure is not an option.”
Here she is in November 2005: “I do not believe that we should allow this to be an open-ended commitment without limits or end. Nor do I believe that we can or should pull out of Iraq immediately . . . We must set reasonable goals to finish what we started and successfully turn over Iraqi security to Iraqis.”
And again, though certainly not for the final time on this subject, about two weeks ago: “Our job is to do everything we can to help this [Iraqi] government succeed . . . I am hopeful that the administration—which doesn’t listen to any of us, anyway—will finally realize that the policies it has pursued from the very beginning, when they rushed to war, when they refused to let the U.N. inspectors conduct and complete their mission, when they committed strategic blunder after blunder, have undermined America’s leadership in the world and have put at risk the long-term war against terrorism . . . But I have to just say it—I do not think it is a smart strategy either for the president to continue with his open-ended commitment, which I think does not put enough pressure on the new Iraqi government, nor do I think it is smart strategy to set a date certain.”

They know that even though they don't like her, they will all vote for her anyway.
The Arkansas Grifters have a lock on the media. Hillary and her HINO want to take of your country. Stop her before it is too late.
Ha!
She votes against Kerry's version of cut-and-run, but votes for Levin's.
Yeah, there's principle on display there all right. She's a real profile in courage.
SNORT.
She can say anything and the Leftwing Media goes along with no questions.
Hillary is now called "WIDE LOAD"
On every question, foreign and domestic, she asks the same question of her strategy team:
What do I need to get myself coronated?
After the coronation... that's when her REAL beliefs will show.
No, then it's how do I get re-elected.
good point
