Hillary Clinton: Iraqi Occuption Will Continue If I'm President Matt Stoller March 15, 2007 Wow. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton foresees a "remaining military as well as political mission" in Iraq, and says that if elected president, she would keep a reduced military force there to fight Al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military. In a half-hour interview on Tuesday in her Senate office, Mrs. Clinton said the scaled-down American military force that she would maintain would stay off the streets in Baghdad and would no longer try to protect Iraqis from sectarian violence -- even if it descended into ethnic cleansing. In outlining how she would handle Iraq as commander-in-chief, Mrs. Clinton articulated a more nuanced position than the one she has provided at her campaign events, where she has backed the goal of "bringing the troops home." She said in the interview that there were "remaining vital national security interests in Iraq" that would require a continuing deployment of American troops. This stance deserves deep consideration by Democratic primary voters. It's a genuinely and deeply conservative foreign policy strategy, involving indefinitely keeping US troops in Iraq for unspecified national security interests while calling the war over. Hillary Clinton's promise to continue the Iraqi occupation will become the Democratic Party platform if she is the nominee. This is a very dangerous roadmap for the Democrats.

Who do you think let Gannon into the WH 202 times in one year? Why doesn't the gay-hating rightwing want to investigate I wonder? Because WH reporters are let in the WH almost every day. The rightwing largely isn't gay hating. Even people who think homosexual behavior is sinful don't necessarily hate the sinners. For all of humanity are sinners who need salvation from their sins. Liberals don't understand this as they don't have a conception of sin or even a consistent moral code. The leftwing claims to have compassion for gays but delighta in using charges of gayness as insults. You're a great example of that but you're not the only one.
