Hillary Clinton recently said
"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will."
Both of these certitudes ignore the context and the realities. This may be because the Democrats by and large are in denial or believe that America is to blame for terrorism. If only America would stop oppressing the Arabs or stop favouring Israel, terrorism would greatly diminish.
Even if they are prepared to accept that we are in World War IV with Islamists, staying engaged in Iraq is counter-productive, they argue. It produces more terrorists than it kills. It is also costly to American lives and treasure.
Finally they argue that the war in Iraq was not prosecuted properly and that more troops should have been sent. While in hindsight, there is generally consensus on the errors but now the Democrats are against the surge and any attempt to correct the errors or the tactics or the strategy. Just bring the boys home and all will be well.
But what about World War IV? What are the causes of this war and how should it be prosecuted?
This war is a product of Islamic Jihad. Andy Bostom, author of the Legacy of Jihad, writes,

If Hitlery was POTUS, she would have had Saddaam funneling secret payoff money into her's and Bill's Swiss bank accounts.
Forget the sock stuffing. If Hillary had been President at that time, Sandy Burglar would have looked like the Michelin Man walking out of the National Archives.

"CLINTON: Good evening.
Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world.
The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people."

What they say now is the opposite of what they said back in 1998 - 2003. It is politics in search of power, period.
"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will."
"I want to take those profits and put them into an alternative energy fund that will begin to fund alternative smart energy alternatives that will actually begin to move us toward the direction of independence."
I hope someone is keeping a running tab on these quotes to refresh the voters minds when the campaign gets into a critical phase.
You got that right!
I want to know what her plan is.
And I want to know why she's keeping it secret.
If she has a plan to end the war, why won't she share it now?
In my mind, if she has a plan and doesn't share it, then all the follow on deaths can be laid right at her feet.
She is the master of politicians, can talk for an houh and never say a thing.
