Honestly, do I have to vote for Hillary Clinton in ’08?

Do I have to vote for a pro-war candidate? I mean, it seems like some sick twist of fate—I marched against the Iraq War before it even began. Me, your average, occasional New York Times reader knew that invading Iraq would be a gigantic mistake (no thanks to you, Judy Miller, you psycho!).

I knew about PNAC, that the Neocons thought the first Bush was a pussy for not toppling Baghdad. I knew that Saddam had no link to Al Qaeda. I knew that even if Saddam had WMDs, they weren’t nuclear and were no threat to the US. I knew that the Bush administration was using 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq. I knew it wouldn’t make us safer. I knew it was a complete distraction and wouldn’t help stabilize the region.

So why didn’t Hillary? My guess is that she secretly did know that invading Iraq was a bad idea but didn’t want to be labeled “weak on defense” by Republicans in an ’08 presidential run. Which makes her pretty weak and opportunistic is my mind.

So who? Who can it be besides Hillary? Who can we push for to knock Hillary out early?

I really like Barack Obama, but every time I mention his name, my friends laugh at me.

So who?
