Hillary Clinton Lacks Resolve After General Petraeus Speaks to Congress

As should be expected, Sen. Clinton made a squishy response to Gen. David Petraeus's testimony yesterday. Most Democrats have come out with crazy left-wing remarks (such as, "Gen. Betray-us"-- which is disgusting), but not the pandering Hillary. In campaign mode she fails to take a firm position. In Boca Raton, FL yesterday she said,

"Our troops who have performed heroically and have done everything they've been asked to do in Iraq have no business refereeing an Iraqi civil war. It is up to the Iraqis to make the decisions as to how they will stabilize their own country...But I honestly believe that if the troops come out tomorrow, next year, five years or 10 years, because there is no military solution, if the Iraqis have not resolved their own internal problems, there is nothing we can do."

Though most of us informed citizens know that Hillary Clinton is as far left as Sean Penn, she continues to shift like a bowling ball on a pirate ship when it comes to Iraq. She is hesitant to condemn the noble work of our men in uniform because she does not want to be viewed as unpatriotic, not because she doesn't actually want to condemn it. I can only hope that her lack of stability on such issues will lose her the support of the "hug-a-Taliban" crazies from MoveOn.org and DailyKos.

For the people I know who have fought in Iraq, it would be an incredible and insulting mistake to put a waffler like Hillary in charge. Her statement shows her disregard for America's future and her inability to lead the greatest country in the world.
