The point isn't that they were discussing the use of nuclear weapons, it's that she criticized Obama for saying that he would take them off the table completely, after she herself said the same exact thing last year.

That's called being a hypocrite.

Sorry. Check the update.

She was talking about taking nukes off the table in conflicts with the sovereign state of Iran. Obama was talking about taking nukes off the table in conflicts with decentralized terrorist groups in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

That's also a difference...

perhaps... but then again, I already have a job working for Bush :D

That said, the two statements were NOT different because her initial objection to Obama had nothing to do with the two situations being different. She basically said last week that they should never be taken off of the table as an option. She did uin order to make Obama look naive and inexperienced - only to realize later that she herself had made the same mistake last year... DOH!

whatever the case, this is just one of a million things that demonstrates her hypocrisy.

You're right... everything was just peachy.

I believe Clinton had plans drawn up for an invasion of Afghanistan right after the embassy bombings. It was during the Lewinksy scandal though so the Republicans accused him of trying to draw attention away from that.

And what did Bush do about al Qaeda the first eight months he was in office? Absolutely nothing.

If fort any reason Hillary is the Democratic nominee you will for sure see a republican in the white house for 4 more years!!!

Hillary is a huge liability for the Democrats!!

Bookmarked.

ah, the old meme of 8 months as defense for doing NOTHING.....

Bush and his team did nothing.... If the nation was so clearly at risk for attack, the fact that Bush and team ignored this makes their failure as leaders so clear that only Stevie Wonder wouldn't see it, but he'd sure smell that shat......

I'm not defending Bush at all, I'm just pointing out the idiocy of the people that lay all of the blame on Bush and use the excuse that he had 8 whole months to do what Clinton couldn't do (and completely ignored) for 8 years. Its idiotic.

Personally, I don't lay the blame on anyone, it was a different world back then, but this is going completely OT...

Quick, who was president when the attacks happened? That's right, Bush. Didn't Rice also ignore OBL? Yep.

Spin baby, spin!!

Thats completely dishonest and you know it. Thats like Hillary winning in 08, and then the day after she takes office, Republicans go blame every single thing that happens in Iraq on her. I have no doubt that some would do that, but do you really want to be associated with that crowd?

Well, actually, Clinton wants a phased withdrawl, so unless something drastic happens, I don't think she'll get any flak for Iraq as President.

Okay, first off I never said it was all Bush's fault. Even if he had done something, 9/11 probably still would have happened.

Also, Clinton did take action. He bombed training camps in Sudan and Afghanistan after the embassy bombings and called for an invasion of Afghanistan after the Cole bombing. Saying he completely ignored bin Laden is ignoring what actually happened.

That's the last thing I'll say about this because it's off topic.

I'd barely call this one case and I'm sure there's not a million total. Do the math.

Anyway, her campaign already took care of this so it's a closed issue. Here's what they said:
Phil Singer, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Clinton, said she was responding to a specific news report at the time that the Bush administration was considering nuclear strikes on Iran. The context, he said, was different than the scenario raised last week by Mr. Obama.

?Senator Clinton was not talking about a broad hypothetical nor was she speaking as a presidential candidate,? Mr. Singer said. ?Given the saber-rattling that was coming from the Bush White House at the time, it was totally appropriate and necessary to respond to that report and call it the wrong policy.?

From here - Text

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. A candidate that would be palatable to the right would not be acceptable to me. Elections have to mean something. If we have rightwinger and rightwinger lite running against each other, that's not much of a choice, now is it?
I will agree with you that ALL of the choices leave something to be desired; but Hillary is by far the worst of the bunch! She lacks all emotion and will tell you anything she thinks you want to hear.

Her flipflop demonstrated in the OP is just one example out of a million just like it!

I personally believe that she just may be the son or daughter of Lucifer himself... :D
All of your repubs are flip floppers, too or simply f**king braindead. Fact is, every person who's currently running for president should be immediately banned from the idea. They all suck. At least I haven't seen any youtube vids easily ripping apart ron paul or obama yet, but that may be just my fault for not watching any. I've seen them on some of the others.
AFAIC, 9/11 happened because Clinton ignored AQ and the Taliban for eight years.
Then why did the first trade center attack happen? AFAIC, Iraq war happened because Bush ignored his doctor's orders for years and years and sucked on too much grass.

until she actually steps foot into the white house and quickly learns from her entire National Security and Defense team that withdrawal is not an option... that'll be a h00t!!
