Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton has scolded rival Sen. Barack Obama for ruling out the use of nuclear weapons in the war on terror, but the Associated Press is reporting this afternoon that she did just that when asked about Iran last year.

"I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table," she said in April 2006 in a Bloomberg Television interview.

Hillary scolding Obomber for something she also said? Say it isn't so! Not truthful Hillary who once said she was named after Edmund Hillary. I'm shocked, shocked. What will the AP come out with next, that Hillary doesn't believe in Santa Claus or the (gasp) Easter Bunny? Stop the presses.


Hillary/Bill can be expected to mouth one thing or another to try to trounce Obama. But, like the proverbial used car salesman once you get past the slick, fast talk you wind up asking what in the fornication are they talking about?


And, of course, earlier in the spring, Hillary also said she would talk to the crazies of the world: Chavez, Kim Jong Il, Iran's leader, under no preconditions as well.

Ah, Hillary, say one thing one day, the opposite a week later. Talk in Southern voice when in North Carolina, black voice when in Selma, and Babs Streisand talk when in Hollywood.

Little Johnny Manboobs,
No candidates in this race for President in 08 have flip-flopped more than Republicans Frenchy Romney and Rudy Gigoloiani have.


Well Demented Johnny E., if you want to continue your kindergarten rants, I'll take your Johnny Manboobs if you take Johnny E Poop For Brains.


As long as the Swamp is taking a trip down Clinton memory lane, let's consider the following statements by that other Clinton and his minions, statements that Hillary went along with at the time:

WMDs? "Clinton also said Tuesday night that at the end of his term, there was “a substantial amount of biological and chemical material unaccounted for ” in Iraq.

Clinton told King: “People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons.”" [CNN 2003]

Saddam Hussein connected to bin Laden?

"Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers." [CNN 1999]

More on WMDs from Clinton National Security Advisor, Sandy "Burglar" Berger:

"Berger sought to frame the dispute in broad, strategic terms. He said the world could not afford to allow Iraq to flout the will of the international community.

“The lesson of the 20th century is, and we’ve learned through harsh experience, the only answer to aggression and outlaw behavior is firmness,” Berger said.

“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has 10 times since 1983,” Berger said." [USA Today]

Fearmonger-er!! Chickenhawk!!

More from another chickenhawk on the WMDs:

“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear,” Clinton said. “We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program. We want to seriously reduce his capacity to threaten his neighbors.” [CNN 1998]

More Clinton linking bin Laden to Iraq:

"The United States also claims it had other evidence linking the plant with chemical weapons production. That evidence includes links between officials at the facility in Sudan and an Iraqi official who has been labeled by U.S. intelligence as “the father of Iraq’s chemical weapons program.”

The Iraqi, identified as Emad Al Ani, is said to have had extensive dealings with officials at the plant in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.

That and the connection between terrorism sponsor Osama bin Laden and Sudan’s “military industrial complex” were enough to convince the United States that the Shifa plant was involved in chemical weapons production, the official said." [CNN 1998]
