Why I don’t like Hillary
What’s wrong with Hillary Clinton? Mark Penn, that’s what’s wrong with her.
“He [Mark Penn] worked closely with the Democratic Leadership Council, and more generally with the so-called “national security” Democrats. He has a long record as a friend of Israel and as an advocate of regime change in Iraq. He helped to run Joe Lieberman’s campaign in 2004.” From The Economist
I can only assume Mark Penn believes in Senator Lieberman’s judgment–and Lieberman has his eyes on Iran.
“Clinton did not read the 90-page, classified National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, according to “Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton.” From Cnn.com.
Yes, the NIE document was misleading–that’s not the point. The point is that I don’t want someone in charge of the country who did not even bother to read 90 pages of what is ostensibly the best information available on a decision to go to war. I want a president who plays heads-up. One who might think long and hard before starting an armed conflict in the most tense region on the planet.
And you know what kills me? I might have to vote for her.
