If Hillary were President and we were attacked by another country, such that they actually captured significant land in California and Washington state, would Hillary be likely to say something like:
"We will commit with all of our military might and the will of the American people for a period of 12 months to liberate and restore those lands wrongly taken. If we can't do it within that time frame, I will run up the white flag and withdraw all troops and poop be on those Americans we did not liberate."
Any thoughts? Additions?

At least some of the Liberals are smart enough to figure out that Iraq is neither part of California or Washington state. Here's the shocker, I didn't comment on Iraq.

Sounds about right.
What I cannot picture is the Republicans in Congress voting to go to war and then after committing troops backpeddling and bashing the President for that war, putting forth bills for a draft when one isn't necessary, putting forth talk of defunding the war, sending an emissary not approved by the President to the Mid-East for "talks," and loading a war spending bill full of pork.

Switch your Avatar because it looks like you are intelligent (you don't want people getting the wrong idea). How the hell is another country going to capture California? Duurrrrrr. That is like having our troops try and capture the city of Tokyo. It would be military suicide because our troops would be fighting on foreign soil in an technologically advanced society. Let me ask you this, why do you assume Hillary is a soft leader because all that you stated in your question is you buy the Republican's brainwashing statements about Liberals being soft.

If the Continental US were invaded, Hillary would be more apt to say, "Screw it. Let's go kill the bastards." I'm not crazed about her politics, but she's got more stones than any of the men running. If it were Alabama and Georgia, she wouldn't hesitate to use nukes.
At that, the invaders would be real glad that she's post menapausal. Before that, there were 3 days a month when you REALLY didn't want to mess with her. What did you think started Bill cheating? He was afraid to go home, that's what.

If we were attacked by another COUNTRY, then Hillary (or any president) would have a justifiable enemy to work against. You have noticed that neither Afghanistan nor Iraq attacked us. Terrorists who had found haven in Afghanistan attacked us. Nobody in Iraq attacked us.
Democratic or Republican, no American president would fail to get back captured American lands. Anyone who implies otherwise is so full of hate for their fellow Americans that they have lost complete touch with reality.

If invaded, it would be a completely differerent senario than what is at present with Iraq, an incursion into another countrry that only began with lies and is quite unpopular with 70% of Americans.
The real question is....would you die for America in defense of its soil if Hillary came on the radio and pleaded for everyone to resist the invaders? If you say no, you are no patriot. If Cheney asked (and I hate the man entirely) me to defend California from an invasion...I would do it and bring everything I had...I would buy food and gasoline on the way and donate it to the cause...because if I didn't they would be in minnesota next. she might actually defer tactics to the generals and reserve overall stragedy to her Admin...in other words act as a president should act

"If Hillary wins the nomination and the presidental election and the USA is attacked..."
You women-haters here haven't been paying attention, have you? This lady is strong as nails. I live in New York, in Manhattan, and running for and winning a senatorial seat here is not for sissies. Were the women PMs in either Israel or the UK weeping willows? Look 'em up, chaps, look 'em up.

Hitlery would try to negotiate after boycotting the olympics.
Perhaps she would demand that the new owner provide healthcare?
Does anyone actually think that the hilly beast can command the military after trashing a General?
But you know, giving up California is not a bad idea.

She would retaliate. and take it back. But, of course, since she would be president, the neocons would be against retaliation simply because they cannot stand a Democrat doing any thing right. But at least George Bush promised not to have sex in the White House.

Honestly, I think it would be time to get out of the war as soon as the press started reporting that the war had (gasp!) any casualties.
I'm still amazed that there are Americans that believe wars should be casualty free...or enemies should just step out in the middle of the street and get shot.

Not publicly she wouldn't.
She would most likely try to open diplomatic negotiations with the invaders, and ask the UN to place some kind of economic sanctions on them.
She would also, be complaining that our armed forces were not powerful enough to stop the invaders because the Republicans didn't prevent the Democrats from cutting military spending in favor of welfare and universal health care for illegals.
