Hillary Rodham Kerry
Weekly Standard ^ | 10/01/2007, Volume 013, Issue 03 | William Kristol

On October 2, 2003, Senator John Kerry voted for an $87 billion appropriation to fund U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan that was paired with rescinding some Bush tax cuts. It failed. Two weeks later, worried about Howard Dean's surging presidential campaign, Kerry joined only 11 other senators in voting against the $87 billion on final passage. Kerry later offered the immortal defense that he had voted for the $87 billion before voting against it.

On September 20, 2007, Senator Hillary Clinton voted for a convoluted Democratic resolution to condemn (without naming it) the ad in which MoveOn.org referred to the U.S. commander in Iraq as "General Betray Us," while also condemning attack ads from Max Cleland's 2002 Senate race and John Kerry's 2004 presidential run. (Power Line's John Hinderaker noted: "So, in the Democrats' view, General Petraeus is just another politician and MoveOn's slander is just another campaign ad.") The measure failed to get the requisite 60 votes. Later that day, worried about the party's leftist activists, Clinton (along with 23 other Democrats) voted against the following resolution:

She voted to confirm him for his fourth star and his new position on January 26, 2007, knowing that he would be executing a counterinsurgency strategy backed up by a surge of troops. Less than two months later, as the new strategy was just beginning to show results, she supported a motion to reverse course, ...

What price is left for the still Free (that’s US) to pay now with an Anti-Freedom HILLARY pushing hard this time around to take over our Oval Office...

if you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for places they can no longer go....

be not ashamed to say you loved them though you may or may not have always...

take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own...

and in that time, when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.
