She has stated that the United States should continue indefinitely its “military as well as political mission” in that country. She consistently blames the Iraqis for the U.S. "inability" to withdraw American troops. She has a consistent history of support for invading, occupying, and continuing the occupation of Iraq. She has a consistent history of enthusiastic support for military action as a tool of foreign policy. She consistently and enthusiastically supports Israel, overlooking its violations of international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the Golan Heights, as well as its war crimes, and crimes against humanity. She whole-heartedly supported Israel's violations of Lebanon's sovereignty, and its unspeakable 33 day spree of crimes against humanity in Lebanon in July, 2006. She encouraged her husband's eight years of genocidal actions against the Iraqi people - a policy that effectively soften up Iraq for George Bush's destructive assaults on that country. Shall I go on, or have you received the picture? While I wait for your specific examples of my demeaning women, let me point out some realities about Hillary Clinton in regards to Iraq.

That didn't stop the Jeffersonians from attacking him as senile and under the control of Al Hamilton (during his second term). Personally, I am not ready to drink the Kool-Aid and join hands and sing Kumbaya with the likes of Bush, Cheney and Rove. Or any Fox neocons.

Please. Let's deal with tactics. Clinton lost me by climbing in the gutter to raise a question about Obama selling drugs. Don't bother trying to tell me that this wasn't a strategy. I also don't want to hear about experience. We see the results of all of the experience. One disaster after another. Talking points? Please. Let’s deal with tactics.

From all my reading here and at Pat Lang's site, plus following what the military says, the Drafting and updating of withdrwal plans are Standard Operating Procedure on an ongoing basis! Again - what on earth would that comment mean? Hi,

From all my reading here and at Pat Lang’s site, plus following what the military says, the Drafting and updating of withdrwal plans are Standard Operating Procedure on an ongoing basis!

Again - what on earth would that comment mean?
