Hillary, Apologize Already!
Dear Senator Clinton:
Your reluctance to apologize for your vote on the War in Iraq is hurting you. It's not un-presidential to admit a mistake. In fact, it shows a great deal of strength. The country will forgive you; trust them more than you do. I'm afraid your vote will dog you throughout your campaign if you don't come up with a better response than your current talking points.
We know it's George Bush's war. We know he rushed to War after Congress approved the Resolution. We know he cherry-picked the intelligence. We know he planned to invade Iraq even before 9/11. We know he bungled the prosecution of the war in the most incompetent way possible; in fact, it would've been hard to imagine anyone bungling a US enterprise so pathetically.
But saying, "There are no do-overs," just doesn't cut it. I don't want to vote for Barack Obama because I think his experience is too minimal. But if you don't change your position about your vote, I'll be forced to go with him.
Please reconsider your stance on this crucial issue.
