WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she would not have attacked Iraq if she were president in 2002 and would end the war if elected, as she tried to blunt rivals like John Edwards who are stoking anti-war passions in the Democratic Party.
Clinton, raising her voice at one point to be heard above anti-war hecklers, suggested that calls from Edwards and others to cut off funding for President Bush's troop increase are unlikely to win approval in a narrowly divided Senate.
"Believe me, I understand the frustration and the outrage," Clinton said in a speech to the Democratic National Committee meeting that brought the party's nine White House hopefuls together for the first time. "You have to have 60 votes to cap troops, to limit funding to do anything. If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will."

Really? She can predict the future? If 9/11 hadn't happened, Bush would have been able to hold true to his downsizing promise, too. But since we never know for certain what is coming, it's incredibly stupid for politicians to make promises of any kind. They almost always prove to be false.

why is it stupid for politicians to make promises? It helps them get elected, even if they won't be able to keep their promise

If you can't answer that question for yourself, then no one can.

Theresa's right. It's most certainly stupid to make promises one isn't guaranteed to keep. It's like a kid running for Class President promising to get this new thing installed in the school. He can put pressure, but the chances of it actually happening are next to none.

I would not vote for her. I wouldn't vote for her if she was planning on legalizing marijuana. (probably a lie there, though)
