Hillary says she will stop the war, do you believe it?

Answer 1

The only one who can really actually stop it, is the person who started it. AKA George W. Bush

Answer 2

It irrelevant what Hillary says about "her" stopping the war. If she were President and pulled our troops back home...or even if she disbanded the entire military...the war would continue. The war is being prosecuted by terrorists against the free world. It's not a matter of how many U.S. troops are at one place or another. That's what she and her minions fail to understand.

By her logic, WWII ended when the British evacuated at Dunkirk.

Answer 3

Hillary, just like her husband before her, is reading the polls and saying what she thinks the masses want to hear. Once in office, she would not stop the war, but hey, that doesn't matter when you are a compulsive liar to begin with.

Answer 4

does she say how? just what does she proprose to do? she is vague because like most politicians.....they tell you what you want to hear to get voted in, then, they dont know which way to go or what to do. we all want the war to be over but if we leave now and our "mission" is not accomplished wouldnt that mean that all the people that died....died for NOTHING? how sad is that?
do yourself a favor and get informed on the people running. make sure you know where they stand on issues that are important to you. if they cant answer your questions to your satisfaction, they probably cant run the country. its your choice.

Answer 5

She has ranted about many things but failed to deliver on her promises. She needs to get a reality check. Perhaps her version of ending the Iraqi mess is to ignore it. She sure will not be able to end it like Reagan did the Iranian hostage mess Carter created.

Answer 6

Hagbitchworth Ramhog Cluntin.

tjhese voices in my head tell me
that hilary clinton is evil hag witch mean bully liar lesbo yep thats what the voices say i dont know tho maybe i'm wgrong but u tell me i think she is a delusional bag of frozen pantycakes.

Answer 7

Yeah, I believe she will give her best effort to stop the war in Iraq, but I think it will take assistance from neighboring countries and the "lame" UN to step in and help reconstruct Iraq.

Answer 8

Speaking at the Democrats' winter conclave with eight other presidential hopefuls, Clinton argued it would be politically impossible to defund President George W. Bush's plan to increase Iraq troop levels - even as 2008 rival John Edwards decried her position a betrayal.

"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president I will," said Clinton, who supports a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops and a cap on forces at 140,000, approximately the number there now.

Addressing her October 2002 vote authorizing the invasion, Clinton said, "If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started the war."

A majority of Americans supported the war at the time. About half the Democrats in the Senate bucked public opinion and voted against war, including current Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin (D-Michigan).

Clinton's statements didn't impress a handful of anti-war protesters who briefly interrupted her address to the Democratic National Committee.

And Edwards, who has recanted his yes vote on the war and urges a quick withdrawal, demanded that the Democrat-controlled Senate force a confrontation with Bush.

"It is a betrayal not to stop the president's escalation when we have the responsibility, the power and the actual tools to prevent it," the former vice presidential candidate said in a direct challenge to Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who haven't supported efforts to defund the 21,500-troop escalation. "Being satisfied with nonbinding resolutions we know this president will ignore is a betrayal."

The typically sleepy DNC winter meeting took on the fervid atmosphere of an auto show three months after the party seized Congress, with no less than nine prospective presidential candidates rolling onto the stage like 2008 concept cars.

At times, Edwards and Obama seemed to play tag-team against Clinton, hinting that Clintonesque calculation and caution needed to be abandoned for a bolder, more sincere approach.

"Cynicism ... caused our politics to become small and timid, calculating and cautious," Obama said. "We spend all our time thinking about tactics and maneuvers."

Echoed Edwards: "This is not the time for political calculation, this is the time for political courage."

Clinton, who postponed this weekend's trip to New Hampshire, will travel to the state next weekend, in a campaign that already seems to be simmering a year before the first vote is cast.

"You know, sometimes you feel like you're part of a reality TV show," Obama quipped. "You feel like this is 'American Idol' or 'Survivor.' You're trying to figure out, are you going to go to Hollywood, are you going to be voted off the island?"

Where she stands

Voted to authorize

President Bush to use force in Iraq

Declined to call for immediate withdrawal of troops as opposition to the war was rising.

Opposes a bill that would cut funding for Bush's plan to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq. Supports a cap on troop levels and a nonbinding resolution condemning Bush's plan for additional troops.

Believes United States must retain a robust military presence in the region after the war ends.

Pro and con

What other leading presidential candidates have to say about the Iraq war

I am opposed to President Bush's plan to send additional troops to Iraq. Congress must act now to block funding of Bush's escalation of the war - and demand that the president provide a plan to leave Iraq.

- John Edwards

[Bush's] strategy makes sense. It makes sense to me that at least we would try to hold the areas that we've pacified and see if we can provide a level of stability. The alternative, which is to withdraw and let it get worse, would put us in a terrible position.

- Rudolph Giuliani

The presence of additional coalition forces would allow the Iraqi government to do what it cannot accomplish today on its own: impose its rule throughout the country.

- John McCain

I'm introducing the Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007. This plan ... would begin a phased redeployment of U.S. forces with the goal of removing all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by March 31, 2008.

Answer 9

No.

But then again, if Hillary said the sky was blue, I'd have to go outside to look and see for myself.

Answer 10

I believe she will say anything she has to say to get herself elected. Will she do any of the things if she is elected? No they usually don't talking is so much easier for politicians than doing.
