Reply #28: Sen. Clinton has a seat on the Armed Services Committee [View All]

She has a position of power in the 110th Congress and could help to determine funding issues for the war. This is an important function and could determine how many die in Iraq going forward.

Must be nice to be able to sit on the right hand of God and hand down judgements on others. Too bad the merely mortal among us must deal with the situation now, as it exists instead of patting ourselves on the back for being so pure in the past.

This attitude will not save one life in Iraq or spare one American family from a lifetime of misery due to the death of a loved one in Iraq. I suppose it does make certain people feel better about themselves, and I dearly hope that is enough for them.

I want Sen. Clinton to begin to oppose this war now. She is a powerful voice in this Congress and has a say in what happens in this war going forward. It is encouraging to hear her say what she said. It is one more voice for sanity. Sorry if that is not retroactively pure enough for some.
