Brilliant! Senator Clinton finally has done something with cajones in my book.
WASHINGTON, May 3 — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed Thursday that Congress repeal the authority it gave President Bush in 2002 to invade Iraq, injecting presidential politics into the Congressional debate over financing the war.Yes, it's a political ploy, but it just might be something that more politicos could get behind. There might not be so much debate of funding the military and protecting them. This would be the ultimate protection for them.
Mrs. Clinton’s proposal brings her full circle on Iraq — she supported the war measure five years ago — and it sharpens her own political positioning at a time when Democrats are vying to confront the White House.
“It is time to reverse the failed policies of President Bush and to end this war as soon as possible,” Mrs. Clinton said as she joined Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, in calling for a vote to end the authority as of Oct. 11, the fifth anniversary of the original vote. New York Times, May 3, 2007
now, let's watch who get's in line behind her and just how serious she really is....
and who has the real cajones!
