and poor hillary, which way will her head spin tomorrow. The internet, creating a cross referenced documentation of the truth. Lying dems have no weapon to defeat truth. Hillary on Iraq: Then and Now Now that Sen. Hillary Clinton has offered her unequivocal support for President Bush's plans to attack Iraq, we though it was worth revisiting some of her more recent comments on the subject - especially since the mainstream press decided to ignore them at the time. On Jan. 24, however, the senator-turned-presidential front-runner was uttering ominous predictions about any U.S. invasion of Saddam Hussein's gulag - including a specific warning that America wasn't prepared for the consequences. "If we do [attack Iraq] then we've got to be ready for retaliation, not just on our own shores, but against Americans all over the world," Clinton told WLIE-NY radio host Mike Siegel. She then warned, "We are not yet ready to take that on, in my view." "Personally, I think we ought to let the inspectors, you know, do some more work and try to make sure that we have more people with us than we do right now," advised the former first lady, before lobbing a few rhetorical hand grenades in the direction of the Bush administration that have yet to be covered outside of NewsMax. Not only was Sen. Clinton not supportive of Bush's Iraq policy in her Jan. 24 interview, she accused him of ignoring warnings from her husband's aides that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. She also charged that Bush tried to cover up the testimony of 9/11 whistle-blower Coleen Rowley and alleged that the Bush administration had "mishandled North Korea." "I know that during the transition between the Clinton and Bush administrations that the outgoing administration told the incoming one that they would spend more time on terrorism and bin Laden than anything else," Clinton complained. "And that wasn't their priority. Their priorities were different." "If you remember when Coleen Rowley was going to testify, that was the very day that the administration announced all of a sudden that they were in favor of a Homeland Security Department after having opposed it for months," Clinton said. "And many of us believe that it was an intentional effort to divert attention from her testimony because she raised a lot of unanswered questions." For good measure, moments later Hillary added, "The way [the Bush White House has] mishandled North Korea, I mean - we don't think that Iraq yet has nuclear weapons, or Iran. We know darn well that North Korea is trying to commit nuclear blackmail on us and we have to be more vigilant there." Now that Sen. Clinton has suddenly become "fully supportive" of the Bush administration's war effort, it's worth keeping her Jan. 24 quotes in mind, if only to note how long it takes for her to revert to type if and when the going gets tough in Iraq. newsmax.com
