"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." --Sen.

 Hillary uses doublespeak to silence her Democratic rivals
By Grace Vuoto In the last CNN Democratic debate held in Nevada, Barack Obama and John Edwards began the evening by attacking Hillary Clinton but soon retreated. Within several minutes, Hillary waved her magic wand, transformed the meaning of a few words—and her pitiful opponents cowered in her presence.

By Grace Vuoto In the last CNN Democratic debate held in Nevada, Barack Obama and John Edwards began the evening by attacking Hillary Clinton but soon retreated. Within several minutes, Hillary waved her magic wand, transformed the meaning of a few words—and her pitiful opponents cowered in her presence.Bill Clinton has taught his wife the tricks of the trade. Indeed, he is an expert at semantics—as he revealed under oath when he infamously declared “it depends what is is.” His wife now follows the same pattern: When a politician is in trouble, pull a Foucault; that is, start playing word games. And that is exactly what Hillary did in the last debate. In an attempt to forestall the avalanche of effective attacks on her leadership and record, she created her own terminology.Prior to the Nevada debate, Hillary’s campaign issued a statement denouncing Edwards and Obama for “going negative.” During the debate in Nevada she declared with a sanctimonious and self-righteous air that it is important that Democrats express “what we stand for.” She stated: “We need to put forth a positive agenda for America.” She also admonished Edwards for “throwing mud” and for launching “personal attacks” when he criticized her. The audience applauded. For the rest of the evening, when either Obama or Edwards attacked her policies, the audience booed them into submission.None of the Democratic candidates asked Hillary to define “negative campaign,” “positive agenda,” “throwing mud” and “personal attacks.” What indeed does she consider to be a legitimate spam of her record? Must any criticism of Queen Hillary automatically be dismissed? Has she already overthrown the Republic and anointed herself the absolute monarch above reproach and inquiry? Even King George III did not quell dissent so effectively.
