Where does Hillary stand on the Iraq war? Why and how? How do you evaluate her position?

Answer 1

Whatever George Bush's stand is you will find that Hillary's is almost exactly the same, their ships are near perfectly aligned.

Answer 2

It's a conundrum. She foolishly trusted Bush to get Hussein out with diplomatic pressure, but gave unlimited powers to a very limited, neocon-managed, incompetent fool.
Now she wants some withdrawl to begin at some date, but maybe keep some troops there just in case. The strategy seems to be that a partial withdrawl will force the sects to come to some "reconciliation".

This is a stupid dream. The Shi'ites and the Kurds have no reason to share oil revenue with their blood enemies. They would rather have the Sunnis pay them for oil revenue stolen over the past three generations. The population ratio of 4/1/1 for Shi'ites, Kurds, and Sunnis guarantees a Shi'ite victory in every election. And the Kurds and Sunnis will never support a Shi'ite army. Iraq is inherently unstable and cannot survive.

To be fair, none of the Democrats have a good position. Feingold and others want to get all the troops out as soon as possible, but are unwilling to more than guess at the result, which may not only be unpleasant but also may be counter to our national interest. The future is not ours to see.

IMO, there is a good position for Democrats to take: encourage the partition of Iraq into three entirely separate nations. No, not Sen. Biden's "weak" federal government that would have control of the army(!) and distribute oil revenue(!). Three sovereign nations: Kurdistan, Sunnistan, and Shiastan.

It's not that difficult. The UN could hold a plebiscite for Kurdistan (including Kirkuk) that would leave only the Baghdad region in contention. After years of religious cleansing, only a small number of Sunnis are living in economically unsustainable walled Baghdad ghettos created and protected by our troops. The desperate Sunnis will jump at an offer of financial aid and safe transportation to a Sunni province. Local UN plebiscites could then determine boundaries between the three nations. After the dust settles, all the troops could be safely removed, probably to Afghanistan.

The proper position for a Democrat is to refuse funding until Bush accepts that strategy. At the first complaint that our troops are suffering for lack of funding, impeach him for dereliction of duty. The Constitution does not authorize the Prersident to conduct military action without funding by Congress. It is time for Congress to assume its powers.

Answer 3

She voted, because of the fact maximum folk did, to furnish Bush the capability to attack Iraq. yet he did no longer save his end of the best purchase, which as consistent with the determination, became to exhaust international family members and get approval from the U.N. Ever because of the fact that he skipped the "minor" info she has been on him approximately his adverse making plans, his mismanagement of the conflict, and his use of undesirable intel to justify ignoring those "minor" info in desire of merely attacking Iraq. She is reacting now to the glaring, as maximum human beings are. it's time to get out, convey maximum of our troops abode and redeploy a smaller style to rather combat terrorism as a replace of policing this civil conflict. fortunately, she is waiting to evaluate a topic and alter her questioning subsequently. If in basic terms Bush had that characteristic. Sorry, yet i've got had sufficient of politicians like our President that have constipated their ability to apply extreme questioning in desire of sticking with their unique failed rules because of the fact they'd't shelter being incorrect. conceitedness of that importance is risky to all human beings. Sen. Clinton has the appropriate plan for Iraq and that's specifically why i'm helping her.

Answer 4

Hillary has as many differing opinions on a subject as there are questioners about that subject. Hers is not to be forthright and honest, after all, she has successfully lied her way through life so far, why stop now.

Answer 5

Don't think it matters what Hillery thinks or stands on the Iraq war, she or any other candidate who might become Pres., they will all do what the powers that control this country want them to do.

Answer 6

Well, I know she was for it until it became politically beneficial to be against it. How she stands on any topic depends far too much on what the present polls have to say. She's slippery and it's difficult to say for sure were she stands on anything.

Answer 7

She both wants to withdraw troops and keep troops there. Hil is a flip-flopper. She doesn't even know where she stands.

Flip floppers, especially with the last name Clinton won't get my vote.

Answer 8

She's for it. No,she's against it. Wait a minute,she's now for and against it. But then,tomorrow is another day.

Answer 9

Boy...if there ever was a loaded question, this has to be it!
And so, did you get all the cliches you were looking for?

Answer 10

Her answer will depend on who asks her, when they ask her, and at what venue that question is asked.
