Think Hillary Isn't Ok For 08? Check Again!

Indeed, the hawkish new tone of Hillary Clinton is surely more proof she plans a run in 2008. Being that she is a liberal through and through, there can be no other explaination for her sudden hawkish tone.

As NewsMax.com reports:

Hillary More Hawkish Than Kennedy

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton went out of her way yesterday to contradict leading Democratic Party Iraq War critic Sen. Ted Kennedy, who has urged the Bush administration to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq.

Asked about the kind of pullout suggested by Kennedy and other top Democrats, Clinton told NBC's "Meet the Press": "I don't believe we should tie our hands or the hands of the new Iraqi government. ... I think it would be a mistake."

The likely 2008 presidential candidate warned: "We don't want to send a signal to the insurgents, to the terrorists, that we are going to be out of here at some, you know, date certain. I think that would be like a green light to go ahead and just bide your time. We want to send a message of solidarity."

On CBS's "Face the Nation" Clinton noted that U.S. troops have been stationed all over the globe, saying: "We have been in places for very long periods of time. And in recent history, we've made a commitment to Bosnia and Kosovo."

Clinton also cited the American military presence in Korea, Europe and Japan, which has lasted decades.
