Leading Anti-War Democrat Takes Aim At Senator Clinton (Murtha)
NY1 News ^ | 08/30/2006 | None Cited

A leading anti-war Democrat is criticizing Senator Hillary Clinton on her stance on the war in Iraq.

Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha has been an outspoken critic of the war. Last year he called on the Bush administration to immediately withdraw American troops. Now in an interview airing tonight on NY1’s “Inside City Hall,” Murtha is turning his tough talk on Clinton.

“I have been disappointed. I've been disappointed she hasn't spoken out more forcefully. She's a leader in the Democratic Party -- she's probably going to be the nominee for president next year,” said Murtha.

Asked whether Clinton would make a good president, Murtha had this to say:

“There's an awful lot of things that she would bring to the nomination process, but this is one area where she has to step up at some point and I don't know whether it's related to New York politics or what it is, but I would hope that in the next few months she would make her position clear," said Murtha.

In response to Murtha's criticisms, a Clinton spokesman said: "Senator Clinton has been a clear and consistent critic of the way the Administration has handled the war and believes the Iraqis must step up so we can begin to bring our troops home."

Ahhh.. .Now I get it.

Hillary is for the war but a critic of the administration on how it is handling the war.

Another I am for it before I was against it Lib. I want to see her and Kerry out lib each other in the primaries.

If Hillary changes her position on the Iraq War based on the "Bush Lied" premise, then she would be admitting that her husband, whom she was co-president with, turned over false intelligence to the Bush Administration through George Tenent and Richard Clark.

It's not those who criticize the Clintons that die mysteriously.

It's those who have documented proof of their crimes.

Ask Jerry Parks. Oh, you can't, he's dead.

I have to wonder if this is Murtha joining in with the Kerry/Kennedy faction 100%,

Sounds to me like the androids at MoveOn got to him. I think he's being assimilated into the Borg.

I see, visually, Murtha the Fascist playing cover for Hillary the Communist. "How dare she look like she's not a fascist!". Interesting. LOL!!!!!!!

You see, Diana, the American Communists have been so busy targeting President Bush and Republicans for the "fascist" label -- because Hillary did do some support of the war, she's in the "fascist" category in the mind of liberals. So, he's taking the mantle off her so she can now just look like a smiley-faced communist.

As I said, timing is always so important in these matters. What Murtha's doing is too late to be sucessfully done.

Kick back in the recliner and kick off the berks. Might as well be comfy. ;*)

LOL! Well, FReeping IS important of course. I did not necessarily mean tonight, btw. The next 29 months should give you plenty of time to enjoy the meltdown of your nemesis. ;*)
