Hillary attacks Bush’s ‘irresponsibility’ on Iraq
2007-01-29
DAVENPORT, Iowa - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Iowa on Sunday President George W. Bush should find a way out of Iraq before he leaves office and called it “the height of irresponsibility” to leave the problem to the next administration.
I really, really dislike this woman, and she's not fit to lead our nation.
“The president has said this is going to be left to his successor,” the New York senator said during a jammed rally in a fairground exhibit hall in Davenport as she concluded a two-day campaign swing in the state that kicks off the 2008 presidential campaign.

“I think it’s the height of irresponsibility and I really resent it,” she said. “This was his decision to go to war, he went with an ill-conceived plan, an incompetently executed strategy and we should expect him to extricate our country from this before he leaves office.”
We have a few suggestions here at the Burg, but you're not gonna like any of 'em ...
A White House spokesman, Rob Saliterman, said it was disappointing that Clinton was responding to Bush’s new plan with “a partisan attack that sends the wrong message to our troops and the Iraqi people.”

#17  DMFD nails it. Let's get Bush to *solve* all these issues, ASAP. She's not gonna like how we'd *solve* it, but at least we wouldn't be "irresponsible" and leaving it for the next administration.

Otherwise, let Rudy go at her. I may loathe his social politics, but he's 110% behind this WoT.

#16  I still hold that the key for Hillary will be the status of the WOT + Rogues come nomination/elex time 2008. She prefers eight years of Bill-style, MSM-verified geopol "quiet" and Democrat-credited [Reagan-GOP] econ
"prosperity", THE PC "LAST HURRAH" OF FREE AMERICA BEFORE ANTI-SOVEREIGN SUBORNMENT TO ANTI-US OWG, OR NATIONAL DESTRUCTION BY ANARCHY + MILITARY WARFARE. Worse to worse, she can be POTUS becuz she "survived" GOP-caused, GOP-blamed terror = first-strike decapitation attacks agz the NPE. Rest assured Dubya-GOP wil be blamed anyways for not making concessions to Radical Islam + Iran, i.e. causing mushroom clouds inside Amer by not paying/bribing off the Spetzlamists to attack and hurt us. CLINTONISM > EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING "JUSTIFIES" SOCIALISM, GOVT-ISM,ETC. ERGO DELIBER NOT LABELED/CALLED SOCIALISM, GOVT-ISM, ETC.

* GOP led by Far Right.
* USA making too many mistakes/errors to be trusted to itself or other nations.
* USA is dishonorable, wid a lying Gubmint.
* USA not obeying the UNO + World Community.
* GOP acting contrary to USA's mainstream, sacred CONSERVATIVE National Leftism-Socialism-Communism.
* GOP-USA acting belligerent + imperialist; is an arrogant bully that must be CONTROLLED + CONSTRAINED.
* USA must Must MUST M-U-S-T MMMUUUUSSSSTTTTT, D ***ng it, RECOGNIZE RUSSIA, CHINA, + "ASIA", BUT WEIRDLY + MYSTERIOUSLY NOT SOUTH AMERICA, NOT CENTRAL AMERICA, NOT AFRICA, NOT THE ME, NOT THE ARCTIC + ANTARCTIC, JAPAN, NOT EVEN WESTERN EUROPE-CANADA.
* USA must act in a PROGRESSIVE [national]manner, with PROGRESSIVE national policies.
* USA is a SOCIALIST NATION.

OH THE HUMANITY!

#15  She's right. Bush should resolve ALL on-going problems and not leave a complete mess for his successor. That would be the responsible thing to do. Just like her husband did. Oh, wait ...

#14  Seriously ugly, too. Nobody that ugly should be allowed on TV.

#13  As Safire prophetically stated - "she is a pathalogical liar". Always has been, still is and will continue to be. Unfortunately, I believe there are as many dumbasses out there that voted for Kerry who will vote for her also. She is the anti-Bush and for the media of today that is all they want - redmeat and boiled onions. Only two guys out there who can cut her down to size - Rudy and McCain. But will they have the nerve to do so in front of America and the MSM? Lazio tried that and the MSM made him pay big time.

#12  She thinks she"s got the female vote, thus assuring her victory.
Talking to My wife, NO SHE DOESN"T

Not in my household either. If you want to hear serious, primal loathing just ask my wife what she thinks of Hillary.

#11  I'd vote for her, ...er well, I would have.

#10  Ms. Rodham, Is it true that you want to be president only to put that flatware from Air Force One to good use, bitch ?

#9  HC: "Well I have said that if I knew then what I know now..."

(or words to that effect. Further proof that she isn't the one to lead a nation. No leader gets the benefit of knowing the outcome of any situation more complicated than flipping a light switch at the time. Sorry.)

#8  [Scene: Hildebeast campaign tour press conference, Fumbuck, Iowa, January, 2008]

HC: ... and I'll take one more question. [points to me]

SW: Steve White, Rantburg Defender-Scimitar. Senator, you've previously stated that it has been the “the height of irresponsibility” for the President to leave the situation in Iraq for whoever wins this November. Give that you've been a senator since 2000, what do you believe your responsibility has been for the war, and have you met it?

HC: ...

I'll bet her skin is crawling...

Let her rave, more raving=less votes.

#4  she was bitching about Bush's failure to capture or kill Bin Ladin. She should REALLY rethink that line....

#3  Hillary is speaking from her own height of irresponsbility & I deeply resent it. If she has a solution (and we know she has no clue), we'd all like to hear. Otherwise she can STFU.

#2  Â“I think itÂ’s the height of irresponsibility and I really resent it,” she said.

Sounds like she's considered herself president already.
