Something Hillary Can't Say

Here is something that Hillary can't say...

"I have been against it in 2002, 2003, 2004, 5, 6, 7, 8 and I will bring this war to an end in 2009."
That quote was a response to Clinton saying that he is not serious about ending the war.

Obama strongly responded (emphasis added)...

I was opposed to this war in 2002. If it had been up to me we would have never been in this war. It was because of George Bush with an assist from Hillary Clinton and John McCain that we entered into this war. A war that should have never been authorized, a war that should have never been waged.

I have been against it in 2002, 2003, 2004, 5, 6, 7, 8 and I will bring this war to an end in 2009.

So don’t be confused. Don’t be confused. When Senator Clinton is not even willing to acknowledge that she voted for war. She says she voted for diplomacy despite the title that said authorization to use U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq. So I don’t want to play politics on this issue because she doesn’t have standing to question my position on this issue.

Obama is exactly correct and he needs to continue hammer away at this point. Clinton has no standing on this issue. She not only voted for the war, but was a cheerlearder for it until she decided to run for President.

I'd like to see Obama put some of these clips in upcoming TV ads.

Obama is better than Clinton on Iraq, but better is not necessarily good. For example, if he opposed the war, why did he vote to fund it?
