Is Hillary Falling for Bush’s Tricks Again, This Time With Iran?

Speaking this week at a dinner held by the nation’s largest pro-Israel lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Hillary sounded a lot like President Bush when talking about Iran. “U.S. policy must be clear and unequivocal: We cannot, we should not, we must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons,” Clinton told the audience. “In dealing with this threat … no option can be taken off the table.” “We need to use every tool at our disposal, including diplomatic and economic in addition to the threat and use of military force,” Clinton said. Hillary also mentioned the recent Holocaust conference that was held in Iran to further demostrate that Iran is anti Isreal, and hence anti American. She called them pro terrorist, saying Iran “uses its influence and its revenues in the region to support terrorist elements.” This all sounds very much like the war drumbeat being played by the Bush adminstration. Dehumanizing the enemy, softens us up, to make us more willing to support a war agianst them. Does Hillary speak out of both sides of her mouth? Adjusts her speechs for audience? After the Iran war will Hillary say that Bush lied, and try to blame her past mistakes on someone else agian? As the great President Bush once said, “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
