#1 She's been bleating about a lot lately, trying to raise her profile.

#2 Her statement of a few days ago when she said the House of Representatives was run like a Plantation drew a some criticism from the more centrist members of the Democratic Party. She was playing to her true base, the really liberal Democrats. I think that was a very calculated statement to see just how much criticism she would get and it turned out to be not all that much. This statement was made to assure the more Centrist Democrats that she is not a falming leftie. She knows she can't win by being soft on Iran od the War on Terror and she also can't win by being waht the far left wants so she's trying to appear more to the center. I don't think it will work but who knows, they nominated Kerry the last time.

#3 She is so clueless. The UN will never issue sanctions against Iran as long as China and Russia are getting oil and nuke development contracts. Never... If she was to exhibit any clue she would recognize that this situation can more likely be set up, as her husband did, just like Bosnia/Kosovo/etc., as a NATO action.

#5 She's taking on Al Gore in his weak spot - foreign policy.

#7 TOMANON, I think she does know calling for sanctions is meaningless. This has nothing to do with actual reality and everything to do with political posturing. She can sit back and say the Bush Administration let Iran get nukes all the while ignoring the Democrat' insistance on letting Europe lead the way on this. The Media will forget all about how they villified Bush for doing things without "Our European Allies". This makes her appear to be tough on Iran. Appearance is everything.

#8 "She is so clueless. The UN will never issue sanctions against Iran as long as China and Russia are getting oil and nuke development contracts"

in that case John Bolton and Condi Rice are clueless as well.

#9 Agreed, Liberalhawk. I don't think China would allow the Security Council to implement sanctions against Iran. Someone saying there should be is another matter. I still think this is posturing on Hillary's part.

#10 Bullshit, lh. That's a novel form of moral equivalency - I'll give you the dubious credit for inventing it. BUT...

To draw the comparison you did is disingenuous and a slur upon two honest hard-working civil servants (real ones, go figure!) doing the incredibly thankless tasks for the President in the Tranzi Arena.

The entire current Tranzi Tower of Babble and Corruption must be consigned to history's dustbin - and it will be, just as previous failures. Many of us get it, have so for some time. Many more are beginning to get it. When enough get it, it will be gone. Until then, President Bush has to check off the boxes. Go figure, but he deals within the envelope of reality, unlike the brain-fartlet spewers.

As for your comment - well - to be blunt, such apparent naive trust in blatantly corrupt institutions and the intentional slander of good people in favor of blatantly partisan politicians is, at this point in time, an indicator of either purely partisan bullshit - or BDS.

Hillary is not Dr Rice, nor is she John Bolton. She's not in the same class - and never has been - by a long shot. She's a lying political partisan with a wet finger in the wind. She's a media whore who wants to be The President - cuz that's all that remains for such an ambitious example of the lust for power.

#11 I'm waiting for some wit to scam the kooky left that not only is Hillary demanding to go to war *now*, but that the rest of the kooky left support her.

That is "Hillary is leading the whole herd! Are you conforming, or not? ON TO WAR!" Just to see how many would knee-jerk instantly to call for war with Iran.
