You’re right in one respect about Hillary. Not so deep down she is a hawk. She certainly was one on Kosovo when most freepers (sensibly) were doves. Actually, she is something of a neo-con (who after all also started as socialists). For this reason, Hillary is extremely vulnerable to a general election candidate such as Ron Paul who expose both the dangerous consequences of her socialism and her messianic neo-conservatism. No other Republican can pull this off.
Hillary's not a "neo-con", she's not a hawk... she's a Stalinist monster.
Interesting post. - While (hillary!) is indeed the type that likes to smack around those who do not play her way, she also loathes the military and put that loathing on full display at the WH.
In fact, the SS didn’t like to be around her at all, and her husband certainly did the military no favors at all anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
Our soldiers stood on the deck with unloaded weapons, on clinton's orders, as bombers sailed toward them and saluted them before they were incinerated, our soldiers were dragged through the streets in Mogadishu, and the clintons turned tail and ran like the cowards that they are.
Of course they are good at using the various police forces to come after say, YOU - look at Ruby Ridge Reno - but a genuine hawk willing to build up and maintain a well functioning military? Ah... no.
While I have nothing against him, Ron Paul is not going to break single digits and would, in fact, be outvoted by Ralph Nader if they both choose to run in 08.
