Hillary In the Mud Already

Picture by Stephen Crowley, The New York Times

Oh Hillary you've done it again! You really have a problem admitting your mistakes. Just in case you don't remember, we're talking about your vote for the invasion for Iraq. The one you refuse to apologize for because you thought it was the right thing to do. You were on the war bandwagon in October 2002 when you voted to invade, don't you remember?

Now that Barack Obama is using this issue against you, you have commenced to mudslinging and advised your campaign advisor, Mark Penn to attack Obama. Since when does a question about your vote for the invasion of Iraq have anything to do with Obama? It only makes sense when you want to shift the attention away from yourself; President Bush and his cronies do this all time.

Miss Hillary, your plan to keep U.S. troops in Iraq as a military presence isn't a good idea either, especially when the majority of Americans want us out of Iraq as soon as possible. Remember, nothing you do will change the fact that you voted to invade Iraq but your refusal to apologize for it have been well-documented. You can try to deflect attention away from this by attacking Obama, but me thinks you ought to focus on the issues where you have a clear advantage over your competitors. . . I'm not sure what they are but I bet you will come up with something. In the meantime, you might want to save that mudslinging for later.
