Last week, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) and 13 other senators voted against funding the Iraq war. Five years ago, Clinton voted to authorize the war, and as recently as January promised “I’m not going to cut American troops’ funding right now — they’re in harm’s way.” She also declared she was not for imposing a certain withdrawal date. So why the about-face?

Brian Darling, director of U.S. Senate relations at the Heritage Foundation, says Democrats are fighting amongst themselves over the Iraq war, just as Republicans are divided over the issue of amnesty for illegal aliens.
“You have this hard-left element of the Democrat Party [sic] which is dragging all these members [and] all these candidates that are running for president to the left,” he observes. “You’re seeing it happen where Hillary Clinton has yet to apologize for her initial vote to go to war.”
Yet she is now voting against resolutions providing funding for the Iraq war, he notes. “And she’s getting into that whole John Kerry territory where she ‘was for it before she was against it,’” he continues, “and it’s a very difficult position to be in.”Last week, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) and 13 other senators voted against funding the Iraq war.

If Hillary does her best John Kerry imitation while campaigning for the highest office in the land, just what will she “change her mind” about IF she gets to the White House with her womanizing husband in tow?
