It is very easy to talk a good game - but actions speak louder than words and Obama has had few actual actions to support his convictions.
In the end, the far left cannot abide that Clinton voted to give W the authorization to, inter alia, use military force against Iraq if SH did not comply with the renewed inspections. To me, the far left conveniently ignores the decade or so of unanimous UN resolutions calling for Iraq to produce the WMD the UN unanimously thought Iraq had. Moreover, the far left conveniently ignores that they likely voted for Bill Clinton and/or their D Congressperson, who likely voted to give Clinton the authorization to routinely bomb Iraq and kill innocent Iraqi's in the name of the same WMD that W asserted were there. All of those facts apparently matter not; It matters only that she voted to give W, inter alia, the authorization to go to war if SH did not comply. Interestingly and consistently with that vote, since then Hillary has condemned W for rushing to war and botching the war from the get go. That explanation is not good enough for the far left despite its consistency. They want her to say that is was a mistake to vote to give W the authorization to renew the inspections in Iraq or Iraq must (finally) face severe consequences. She cannot say that and nor should she say that. Again, the world unanimously though SH had those WMD and the D's screamed for SH's head and killed in the name of those WMD for a decade or so before W took power
But and again, all that matters not to those with their ostrich head in the sand.
For those who would misquote me - I wish SH had never put us in the position to have to force the inspections to continue. I also with W had never been so hell bent on playing the shell game of the war in Iraq to hide the failures in Afgan and OBL. I can even stomach deposing SH by invasion if W had listened to his top advisors and executed the post invasion with any coherent plan to win the peace. So, I am no fan of W; yet, I assuredly will be called that. I am just saying Hillary's vote was not the horrid mistake people are trumping it up to be. In other words, had W done what he said he was going to do, her vote would not be in question
Was hillary a fool for casting that vote because everyone knew that W was going to war with Iraq no matter what W said to the contrary - I still say no because I think not to do the inspections was the wrong course to take - a position solidly supported by the D party for over a decade mind you.
As for Obama - for the reasons set forth above, he gets a pass because he is black - no two ways about that. I voted for him here in GA. I kind of regret it because Hillary is far more qualified than the man who can finish an eloquent sentence but not a full term of anything but rhetoric equating to talking a good game. But I still have the audacity of naivete I suppose.
Finally, it is in the interest of the fourth estate to fabricate intent and racial tension between Hillary and Obama. It allows them to sell 30 seconds of air time for a greater price. When I read their comments, Obama's have more racial tension in them. But, as a white male, I am automatically branded a racist for saying it, which the reverse does not happen. Such is life.
