A Heated Exchange for Hillary

2007-04-15

ABCNews' Eloise Harper reports: After fielding many questions ranging from mental health care to veteran affairs at a Town Hall Meeting in Hampton, NH, Senator Hillary Clinton received a heated question about Iraq. A woman who had traveled from New York asked Sen. Clinton if she had read the report given to her in 2002 on intelligence and the Iraq war.
alllll the way from NY to NH? The sacrifice!
Clinton said she had been briefed on the report, and the woman screamed back, "Did you read it?!" Notably uncomfortable, the Senator repeated that she had been briefed. This exchange went back and forth about three times.
"Did you read it?!"
"huh"
"Did you read it?!"
"huh"
"Did you read it?!"
"next question?"
The woman sat down and Clinton explained, "If I had known then what I know now, I never would have voted to give this President the authority." Clinton also said she believed she was giving the President the authority to send U.N. inspectors to Iraq.
uh huh...what is the definition of "is"?
When Clinton finished the answer, the woman continued to scream but was drowned out by applause for the Senator. The woman was escorted out of the building.
driven to Ft. Marcy Park, and committed suicide by shooting herself in the head 47 times. Her name was not released

#5 Correct me if I"m wrong, but doesn't this woman have even less legislative experience than Barack "Greenhorn" Obama? Cripes, pretty soon we're going to see "intern security guard" appear on the resume of a presidential candidate.

#4 Clinton explained,
"If I had known then what I know now, I never would have voted to give this President the authority."

The obvious question is:
Ok, So what dont you know now that might be equally as important in the future?
A predictable answer might be:
No one can completely see into the future, I can only make prudent decisions based on what I know at the time.
An appropriate response:
So Senator, in other words what your telling us is your either not willing to stand behind your decision or you were deceived by a man that you have consistently described as incompetent.
Standard Bullshit Reply:
Blah BlahBush lied People diedBlah Blahbut I believed I was giving the President the authority to send U.N. inspectors to Iraq
Follow up:
"Were confusedsince when did the President need a congressional Use of Force resolution to give him the authority to allow UN inspectors into a country that has violated 17 UN resolutions? Moreover, isnt that the domain of the UNSC?"
Another Bullshit Reply:
Umermany of us believed that if the legislative and executive branches appeared united we could persuade the UN to act more forcefully."
Final statement:
"OKso what your saying is that it is appropriate for a US President to ask members of congress to make the most difficult decision in their lifetimes even though that President has no intention of following through on his request. And your saying that is appropriate because it has the possibility to coerce the UNSC to vote in a way that might be consistent with US interests. Oh yeah, with insight like that, we can see why you keep saying how the President deceived congress and the American people."

#3 Naw, the brain-dead zombies can be easily herded aboard busses, cattlecars, etc., and trucked nearly anywhere the Dhimmi's need 'em, especially when there's an election.

#1 Obviously a questioner who had had a frontal lobotomy asking a question to the poser-senator who needs one.
