#1 "I believe strongly that we needed to put inspectors in," the New York senator said. "That was the underlying reason why I at least voted to give President Bush the authority, put those inspectors in, let them do their work, figure out what is there and what isn't."

Ahhh.behold, we have another display of the archetypical Weasel-Speak that has become the hallmark of the Clintonian legacy. Senator Clinton knew full well, in 2002, the consequences of not securing a UN resolution for unfettered inspections. She appears to have taken advantage of the infectious nature of her husbands pathological deception. Its also fortunate for her to have a team of lawyerly wordsmiths that conveniently craft loopholes whenever she doesnt have the courage to stand behind her own convictions.

Here is the last paragraph from the Floor Speech of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
on S.J. Res. 45, A Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq (Her diplomatic money-shot, if you will.)

So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him - use these powers wisely and as a last resort. And it is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein - this is your last chance - disarm or be disarmed.
