Sen. Clinton: 'I Take Responsibility' for Giving President Bush Power to Act in Iraq

Saturday, January 27, 2007

DES MOINES, Iowa — New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton blamed President Bush on Saturday for misusing authority given him by Congress to act in Iraq, but conceded "I take responsibility" for her role in allowing that to happen.

"I have said clearly and consistently for quite some time that I regret the way the president misused the authority," said Clinton. "He misled Congress and the country on what he was seeking and what he intended to do."

"I take responsibility for having voted to give him that authority," she said. "My focus is on what we do now. That is the proper debate."

"When you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent," Clinton said. "I have been through the political wars longer than some of you have been alive. We've got to be prepared to hold our ground and fight back."

Of course, we need to hold our ground and fight back and when we're attacked, we should go after our opponent. That's exactly what President Bush did, with Hillary's blessing. Now she doesn't think things are going well in Iraq. Her solution? Cut and run, abandon her support of the President and indirectly, our troops.

Hillary is in dire need of an education in duty, honor, and loyalty to country.
