5 Reasons Why Hillary is Not Ready for the Red Phone

by zenprise

As we all know now, the "3 AM" ad that Hillary ran was very successful at casting doubts on Barack Obama's readiness to be Commander-and-Chief. Well, I'd like to ask, what qualifies Hillary for the task? Despite all the bs lap dog Howard Wolfson has been spewing, surprisingly little. So I made a list of the 5 reasons Hillary is unfit to be our president during a time of war. Hear goes:

1. The Iraq War Vote - This one's easy. Obama was right in saying that this was the single most important decision of our generation, and she got it wrong. Not only have we put our soldiers in harms way, unnecessarily killing and maiming both them and innocent Iraqis, but we've taken our eye off the real problem, which is Afghanistan and Northwest Pakistan. 21 of her colleagues in the senate had the right judgment, and I would vote for anyone of them for President. In my opinion, her vote makes her unfit for the office. 2. The Iran Resolution - After spending months trying to explain away her vote on the Iraq war as a byproduct of faulty intelligence, she goes and does it again. Whether she admits it or not, labeling the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization gives President Bush all the justification he needs to start another war of choice (and profit). John Edwards was very correct in saying that he would never give this President even the slightest opportunity to attack Iran. 3. John McCain has more experience - If you're really going to make this a referendum on who has the most experience, then you have to vote for Sen. McCain. With 20+ years on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and as a former Navy pilot and prisoner of war, McCain really has the experience argument in the bag. When Sen. Obama is officially the nominee, he will be able to run on his good judgement against McCain's line about experience. Hillary will have no such option. 4. Clapping for the surge - For those of you who don't know what I'm referring to, when the President said in this year's State of the Union address that the surge is working, Hillary Clinton jumped out of her seat, grinning and clapping in agreement. This caused conservative pundit Ann Coulter to wet her pants in delight. You see, Coulter and Crew are not happy about McCain being their guy, and so she said that she was willing to support Hillary based on Coulter's belief that Sen. Clinton was more hawkish than she is willing to admit in Democratic circles. I never thought I would say this, but I have to agree with Ann Coulter. 5. Not sleeping with the former Commander-in-Chief isn't experience - I guess I could have phrased that differently, but she keeps droning on about her "35 years of experience", but fails to provide any details. If we take here at her word, I guess she was the brains behind our operations in Somalia. That went really well. She could argue that Kosovo was a great success, but then she'd also have to take responsibility for the bombings of the USS Cole and of our embassies overseas. By the way, where was the elected President Clinton in all of this? I guess he was too busy getting blown. And for the real kicker, she didn't go after Bin Laden back before 9/11, so I guess we can blame her for that as well.

She can't have it both ways, even those she always tries.

I bet there are more reasons that can be mentioned. If you can think of any, I'd love to hear them. Just sign in (or sign up) and leave your comments.
