If Clinton supporters are going to use Wright's words against Obama from 7 years ago

Then these words from Hillary's own mouth from 2003, 2004 and 2005 are perfectly valid today. Hillary is COMPLETELY LYING about her stance on the War. She was a Hawk, is a Hawk and Will always BE A HAWK. She is every bit for McCain's 100 year war in Iraq. You just have to read her very recent positions on the War to realize it.

She really reveals her true Republican roots... after all, she grew up as a Republican.

Note: these are older articles, but, still relevant.

Clinton Says She'd support McCain as VP

WASHINGTON (AFP) � Senator Hillary Clinton said she could support John McCain, a leading Republican senator, as the Democrats' vice presidential candidate in November's presidential election.
"I'm a big admirer of John McCain's," Clinton -- the former US first lady and one of the most prominent Democrats in the US Congress -- told the "Fox News Sunday" program.
"I've spoken with Senator McCain and he assures me he's not interested, but you know, we'll see what happens."

Hillary's secret weapon ... Republican guards

POLITICIANS are used to being accompanied by bodyguards. Hillary Clinton has an extra shield: a Republican guard protecting her from accusations that she is too left-wing. Her mission to persuade voters that she is centrist enough to become president in 2008 depends on the company she keeps.
Clinton, a Democrat senator for New York, rarely takes a step in public or a policy initiative without being surrounded by Republicans.

Clinton visited Iraq earlier this year with McCain � both are against withdrawing American troops on the grounds that greater numbers are needed to assure success � and has joined forces with Graham on improving health insurance for army reservists.
�Newt smiling with Hillary and John McCain giggling with Hillary leaves you wondering: why are these people laughing?� Noonan complained.

She does not go along with the notion that the Iraqi dictator posed no danger to the U.S.: ''I think that Saddam Hussein was certainly a potential threat'' who ''was seeking weapons of mass destruction, whether or not he actually had them.''
When Tim Russert on ''Meet the Press'' gave her the opening to say she had been misled when she voted for the Senate resolution authorizing war, Senator Clinton countered with a hard line: ''There was certainly adequate intelligence without it being gilded and exaggerated by the administration to raise questions about chemical and biological programs and a continuing effort to obtain nuclear power.''
On forgotten Afghanistan, like many hawks, she was critical of the failure of European nations ''to fulfill the commitment that NATO made to Afghanistan. I don't think we have enough American troops and we certainly don't have the promised NATO troops.''

Regarding her statement 'adequate intelligence' to go to war: she never read the NIE. If she had, then she is as GUILTY AS BUSH is on Iraq. If she didn't she is CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT.
