Hillary Clinton asks us to trust her on Iraq...no thanks

I took off much of the day to go hiking with some friends who were in town from the Bay Area. (Bet you didn't know Las Vegas has some pretty cool spots to hike.)

I've been getting caught up on the days news and I just had a laugh-out-loud moment. Hillary Clinton is attacking Barack Obama on Iraq? Saying that he isn't sufficiently opposed to the war?

The same Hillary Clinton who one year ago told voters who disagreed with her vote for the Iraq war to go take a hike of their own?

NYT:

Mrs. Clinton rolled out a new response to those demanding contrition: She said she was willing to lose support from voters rather than make an apology she did not believe in.

“If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from,” Mrs. Clinton told an audience in Dover, N.H., in a veiled reference to two rivals for the nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina.

Clinton: Don't Like My Iraq Vote? 'There Are Others to Choose From'
February 17, 2007 12:23 PM ABC News' Kate Snow and Eloise Harper report: Just hours before a key Senate vote on Iraq, Sen. Hillary Clinton told voters in New Hampshire they have a choice to make about her Senate record.

Clinton, D-N.Y., again refused to apologize for her 2002 vote on a congressional resolution to authorize force in Iraq. However, she added an important new caveat in her remarks today: "I have to say, if the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from. But for me, the most important thing now is trying to end this war."

The blunt language was a veiled reference to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who was not in the Senate in 2002 and did not cast a vote on the resolution, though he was a vocal opponent of the war at that time, and former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who has since renounced his vote and repeatedly calls it a "mistake."

How stupid does she think we are?
