Page two.<BR/><BR/>Yeah Amy, she just about had Iran behind her until this came up. Plus Bill's comments about always having been opposed to invading Iraq have not hit mainstreet yet (Gore was vocal; we never heard a word from the former President). This, assuming it gets legs, and the new Iran report are going to hurt, and I don't think she will be able to get away from it just by changing tunes. She was the only Dem candidate to support Bush on this, and now to be wrong, and maybe have it turn out that Bush even knew he was putting out misinformation. The fat lady has not sung on this round yet.Sid Cottinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622559392638650857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-52810740795582336392007-12-05T17:10:00.000-05:002007-12-05T17:10:00.000-05:00I agree with you Sid.

Though, I suspect that their internal polling is driving them toward this strategy. John Edwards may be the beneficiary if she and Obama end up in a bloody battle.Amy Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788827541049928217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-83719578727845037582007-12-05T16:14:00.000-05:002007-12-05T16:14:00.000-05:00I would not assume she is going to admit anything ...I would not assume she is going to admit anything with respect to Iran. I can understand why she did not admit she made a mistake on Iraq because she could say she relied on what the Administration reported, and in not admitting to have made a mistake, she got to have it both ways (at least until Mr. Clinton recently said he was opposed to invading Iraq all the time -- this was the campaign's first big, big mistake; the second came when she has decided to go negative in the way that she has). <BR/><BR/>On Iran, we have the usual situation where the presidential front-runners Giuliani and Clinton have cited the Iranian nuclear threat as perhaps America's No. 1 security issue, and with her vote, she endorsed the administration's coercive actions against Iran. And now this revelation. It is going to be interesting. But admit she made a mistake, I wouldn't count on it.Sid Cottinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622559392638650857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-82257755905170488952007-12-05T13:27:00.000-05:002007-12-05T13:27:00.000-05:00I found that vote most disturbing, too.

Hillary was clearly in the wrong on the Iran issue, but she is going to take her time admitting it.Don Thiemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230623150123606969noreply@blogger.com
