Hillary Kerry. Nice to meet you
By JT Thompson (12/01/05)
Hillary's vote to approve the war in 2002 raises some serious questions.
In an email today she said that if President Bush had known then what he knows now, he'd never have put the vote in front of Congress. She goes on to say that she thinks he should take responsibility now about the lack of progress.
What's interesting isn't that she's demanding he present 'benchmarks' although I would think milestones would be more appropriate. What's interesting is that all of a sudden, after all her bashing, she's willing to concede that he may not have known the things she's accused him of? What in the world does that mean? It's OK to forgive something if it furthers your progress to your desired goal?
What happened to all the integrity she has, and all the lies she accused him and his administration of? This is precisely the kind of back stepping nobody wants for a leader. If you're going to admit something you did was wrong, be responsible for it and stand up, admit your error, and move on. Don't gloss over it like it never happened. These aren't used station wagons we're selling here, this is the United States of American and it's integrity as a nation.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter which road she takes, when a forked road's paths both lead to failure what difference does it make which route you take?
