If Clinton is the nominee, how would she effectively counter attack John McCain on the Iraq war

[ecstatic]

that she voted for and that the majority of Americans are now against?

[TwilightGardener]

1. That was a chief concern of mine. That's a tough spot for her.

[DemGa]

2. This is too easy

Congress was told lies. McCain represents Bush -- and therefore those lies.

Was this a gotcha?

[ecstatic]

5. No. A strategy session... People who are going to vote on Tuesday

need to know which nominee would be stronger against McCain.

[MethuenProgressive]

3. She said she'd end it. He said 100 more years. Aren't you paying attention?

Oh, you're an Obama supporter. That explains it.

[washingdem]

8. Then they give her the John Kerry treatment. Call her a flip flopper, and

call McCain the "steady leader."

[xultar]

4. the majority of Americans were also for it in the beginning. She more than Obama

has the unique position of being for it and then seeing it was a mistake because Bush didn't plan worth shit.

Let's not forget that if this unfortunate shit had been planned by a Democratic administration the shit would have gone off without a fucking hitch.

Bush and his fuckedup looney bin crackpot crooney staff fucked up the war by failing to plan and prepare.

[washingdem]

7. That didn't work out too well for Kerry

You need a clearer distinction than that.

[xultar]

12. Kerry had more working against him than that. Kerry though smart and

was a very shaky campaigner.

[grasswire]

6. he can't criticize her for voting for the war

...because HE SUPPORTS IT.

The End.

9. You and your president lied us into this mess and I am gonna clean it up

[BringBigDogBack]

14. only a fool...

[BuyingThyme]

10. She'll pretend that she's not really for it.

Just like she has successfully done with most of her supporters who post here.

I could work.

Then again, if nominated, she will run harder to the right than any so-called Democrat ever has. We know this because she has not run to the left at all thus far, so if she starts running at this point, it's not likely she will be able to stop before she hits the wall.

Great strategy.

11. Not like Obama did yesterday

I have remained undecided since Edwards suspended his campaign but Obama did something yesterday that I have been wanting from a Democratic candidate for 8 years.


Hit their bullshit with facts and hit them quickly.

[Captain Hilts]

13. By reading the text of her statement on making the vote and how it is NOT a good idea to invade Iraq

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. The same way she "counter attacked" Obama.

By dodging the issue completely.

Can't say it was effective.
