Democrats and waffle college?

Apparently Hillary Clinton and John Kerry went to the same College of Waffle. This is different than the Finishing School for Hypocrites - whose most recent graduates seem to be Senator Kennedy, Dick Durban, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, et al.

But I digress. Check out her masters thesis in Waffling. She gets a grade above Kerry for being at least coherent.

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton called for United Nations sanctions against Iran as it resumes its nuclear program and faulted the Bush administration for "downplaying" the threat.

Uh-huh. Whatever. Here's John Bolton "downplaying" the threat. (h/t Michelle Malkin)

And if we ratcheted up the surveillance and sent troops over there, she'd scream and cry about pre-emptive strikes and overreacting. How stupid does she think we are? Next, when Chief Two Stones actually DOES do something in Iran, and succeeds, she'll say the nuclear weapons program was all a lie and Bush led us into another war by lying to us and those poor Iranians who just wanted to use nuclear technology for energy and all those innocent civilians and blah blah blah. (today, Iran wants us to believe that nukes are against their religion...next we'll be giving Iran the seperation of church and state lectures)

In an address Wednesday evening at Princeton University, Clinton, D-N.Y., said it was a mistake for the United States to have Britain, France and Germany head up nuclear talks with Iran over the past 2 1/2 years. Last week, Iran resumed nuclear research in a move Tehran claims is for energy, not weapons.

Because she'd rather have the US involved single-handedly? Whatever happened to our troops are tapped out and don't have enough equipment and can't handle the war in Iraq much less Iran? Whatever happened to letting the UN handle all of our dealings with Iraq? How is that different from having our esteemed allies in the GWOT help us with Iran? I thought Bush was already "over-extended"?

"I believe that we lost critical time in dealing with Iran because the White House chose to downplay the threats and chose to outsource the negotiations," Clinton said.

There she goes with the "downplaying" again. Who downplayed all the attacks on America and American Embassies and the Cole? Who turned their back and didn't do anything - nay ignored evidence that 9/11 was an imminent threat by doing nothing - worse than nothing, turning away the chance to get and get rid of Osama? - and making the US look like a "paper tiger"? Who was that. Oh, that's right, her ridiculous felon husband. And what gives that pathetic woman the right to any kind of opinion on anything homeland security related?

While Clinton was critical of the administration, she never mentioned the president by name and did not engage in the same sort of sharp rhetorical attack against him or other Republicans as she did earlier this week.

Must be back on her meds...

Speaking Monday at a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. memorial event in Harlem, Clinton said that the House of Representatives "has been run like a plantation" and called the Bush administration "one of the worst that has ever governed our country." The senator's remarks spurred heated reaction from Republicans.

Among others...

Clinton addressed several hotspots in the Middle East in her wide-ranging speech to some 800 Princeton students, staff and alumni gathered to inaugurate a new professorship, the S. Daniel Abraham Visiting Professor in Middle East Policy Studies, at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

She spoke about the United States' close ties with Israel and called on Palestinian leaders to help forge a new peace process — and to provide better service to the Palestinian people.


Well, since she asked so nicely. That's all the Palestinians needed, a nice warm invitation and a group hug. Thanks, Hillary for solving that problem. What would we do without you.

She applauded nations such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for making recent gains in women's rights.

And Iraq...and Afghanistan...??

And Clinton called for the United States to reduce the number of American troops in Iraq, leaving a smaller strike force.

"This will help us stabilize their government and will send a message to Iran that they do not have a free hand despite their personal and religious connections," she said.

Clinton said that the United States has an important role in stabilizing the Middle East, in part because America offers a brand of optimism that can make a difference.

A brand of optimism? Since when? She's been doing nothing but slamming our troops, whining about troop "re-deployment" (then Kerrying herself - otherwise known as "reversing herself") and caterwauling about how Bush lied etc. Liberals like this whackjob don't know the meaning of the word "optimism". "Obstructionism", maybe. But not "optimism".

"History has weighed heavily on the Middle East. What we have tried to do over the last 30 years, starting with President Carter, moving through other presidents, including my husband, and now this president, is to send a uniquely American message: `It can get better. Just get over it.'"

(Uh..."get over" what, exactly? I don't speak Moonbat.)

That is most certainly NOT the message that Jimmah "Treason is my middle name" Carter OR Bubba "The Gump" Clinton sent. (She must be working on her minor in revisionist history, too.) The only president that has not only "tried" but "succeeded" in the Middle East is our own George W. Bush. And now Hillary wants to tack her failure of a husband and that other silly excuse for a president onto Dubya's coattails. Sad.

My hero, Ann Coulter, weighs in on Hillary's recent Kerrys...I mean, waffles...with her usual snort-inducing snark.
Madam Hillary also said the Bush administration "will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country." While Hillary is certainly qualified to comment on what the all-time worst presidential administrations were, having had firsthand experience in one of them, I think she might want to avoid the phrase "go down in history."
