No way. Liberals love to vote for traitors.
It's "American" to speak against your country.

Went to Yahoo News and couldn't find the story, would you provide a link in add'l details if you don't mind? Thanks.
EDIT: Never mind, got it from Sandy above my answer. This is the same old b.s. that the Bush Administration uses against anyone who is high profile and objects to the incompetence Bush has displayed in dealing with Iraq. They're really po'd at Clinton because she and Sen. Byrd are calling for a deauthorization of war powers that Congress handed to Bush in 2003. They're just striking back with their usual nonsense. It won't affect her campaign at all, and if it does it will only be in a positive way since most of the country agrees with her.

Read the story!
A member of the Bush administration is trying to score points with ridiculous and far fetched claims. Every time anyone criticizes the Bush administration's military policies, they get accused of aiding the enemy.

No. The fact that she is a woman is what dashes her chances of becoming a legitimate Presidential candidate.
The reason is that regardless of how progressive and open-minded the United States claims to be, most people are not willing to elect a woman to the top office of President. Currently, this is still one of few countries and Super Powers that has yet to vote a woman into the head leadership position in its entire history.
Not including: the U.K., Canada, Israel, the Phillipines, and etc, all of which have elected women into the top leadership office.

Comments were made by Edelman, who is the Undersecretary of defense for policy and one-time aide to Vice President Dick Cheney. His comments are obviously political and he is basically spewing the same old Cheney proganda.
"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote.
He added that "such talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks."
Hmmm where have we heard this before.
"Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines called Edelman's answer "at once outrageous and dangerous," and said the senator would respond to his boss, Defense Secretary Robert Gates"

No, but such irresponsible rhetoric further erodes the credibility coming from the right and underscores how desperate they are to evade responsibility for their bad decisions.

It doesn't help. She will have a tough time winning the General election anyway. I still think she is the front runner for the dem nomination.

It will not deter her supporters. I suspect the war between the military and that Socialist to heat up quite nicely. There is no love lost between them. I know of what I speak.
