"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." -- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

 Props For Political Theatre
By Debra J. Saunders, Washington TimesHillary Clinton should stay in the race and fight as hard as she can to win. She owes that much to Americans who voted for her, as well as staffers who cast their fortunes behind her when they chose sides in the Democratic presidential primary.

By Debra J. Saunders, Washington TimesHillary Clinton should stay in the race and fight as hard as she can to win. She owes that much to Americans who voted for her, as well as staffers who cast their fortunes behind her when they chose sides in the Democratic presidential primary.There also is no point in holding back her attacks on Barack Obama — lest she tarnish her rival for the Democratic nomination. As former Clinton White House Special Counsel Lanny Davis wrote in a Wall Street Journal piece Wednesday that took on Mr. Obama's support for his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "If Mr. Obama doesn't show a willingness to try to answer all the questions now, John McCain and the Republican attack machine will not waste a minute pressuring him to do so if he is the Democratic Party's choice in the fall."As a long-time Clintonista, Lanny Davis knows attack machines. Don't get me wrong. I don't want Mrs. Clinton to win the nomination. But unless and until Mr. Obama has garnered enough delegates to proclaim himself his party's victor — well, as the Democrats say, let every vote count. If Mr. Obama can't beat Mrs. Clinton when she's down, then he's not a closer.As for Mrs. Clinton, her campaign is proving that if you must reach into your old bag of tricks too often, the magic wears off.In 1992, Democratic candidate Bill Clinton hit President George H.W. Bush for "coddling" China and not linking most-favored-nation trade status to human rights. In office, Mr. Clinton predictably bowed to the inexorable big-market forces of globalization and delinked China's human-rights record from most-favored-nation approval.Now Hillary Clinton has called on President George W. Bush to boycott the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Beijing and chided the Bush administration for being "wrong to downplay human rights in its policy toward China." Does anyone doubt that, if elected, Hillary Clinton would make the same happy about-face as her husband?Ditto a free-trade agreement with Colombia, which he supports and she says she does not. The Clinton formula: Say what you have to say to win, then do what you have to do to hold onto power.Then there's Mrs. Clinton's record on Iraq. In 2002, she voted for the Senate war resolution, noting, "This is probably the hardest decision I have ever had to make — any vote that may lead to war should be hard — but I cast it with conviction." By 2008, she was arguing that the vote was "a vote to put [U.N. weapons] inspectors back in to determine what threat Saddam Hussein did, in fact, pose" — not a vote for war.
