But Tim did actually ask her an interesting question. Tim ask her how come when the first President Bush wanted to get Sadaam, the dems said no, but when x42 wanted to get Sadaam, the dems said yes, and now they're saying no again. Her response was ... her usual unintelligent and confusing reply. Quite frankly, I don't know what the hell she said.

From the transcript, here's the exact exchange:

MR. RUSSERT: Wouldn’t it show the world we’re united if, in fact, Congress joined with the president in support of this?
SEN. CLINTON: I think the world knows what we all know, which is that the Congress is going to give this president this authority.
MR. RUSSERT: Overwhelming?
SEN. CLINTON: I can’t imagine that we won’t. I mean, as we saw with, you know, the 1998 quote, this has been the policy of the United States for four years now.
MR. RUSSERT: But in 1991, 85 percent of the Democrats voted against a resolution to give President Bush authority to invade Iraq when he went into Kuwait.
SEN. CLINTON: I wasn’t there then, you know. I supported that war and...
MR. RUSSERT: You see a much different Democratic response this time?
SEN. CLINTON: Well, I think that, you know, from the Democratic perspective, what we want to do is, you know, make a decision in a deliberative manner so that it isn’t in politics. You know, the last thing in the world you want is to have to make a decision for political purposes. You want to do what you think is right. Maybe the, you know, political world agrees with you, maybe it doesn’t, but you have to, at the end of the day, look in the mirror and believe you did the right thing. And that’s what I hear my colleagues saying. You know, I have the utmost respect for the Democratic leadership of our major committees, of Tom Daschle and others. You know, these are very thoughtful, patriotic Americans. They’re trying to do what the right thing is. And I’m convinced that, you know, just like me, if we’re convinced it’s the right thing, we’re going to do it, and I would have no problem with that at all.

Thanks for posting the conversation - I think this was a very important revelation of what the dems are up to. It points up their willingness to support x42 but not Bush 43.

But basically, I was correct - I don't know what the hell she said. What a bunch of mubojumbo of a statement. The dems can talk more and say less than anybody else I know.

Smartest woman in America, ladies and gentlemen.

Blech! What do they take us for?
