Op-Ed: It All Depends Upon What 'Opposed' Means

It is said by many that Bill Clinton is Hillary's biggest asset in the American political arena. But yesterday the former President committed an embarrassing gaffe by saying he opposed Iraq from the start. Can you spell "hurdle?"

The New Media has just been given ammunition second to none. Bill Clinton made a pathetic and lame attempt to rewrite history by claiming to have "opposed Iraq from the beginning." Even ABC jumped all over that statement, known to be a false statement -- read that as a lie. So, what we have here is a liar supporting another. As the world reels from what the definition of what "IS" is, now we have to wonder what "opposed" and "IS" is. Words mean things. The Leftinistra are very adept at rewriting history to suit their political aspirations. As we witness the Leftinistra distancing themselves from the War In Iraq, they invariably return to the issue as being against it from the very start which, simply stated, is a bold-faced lie. Funny how they soon "forget" that they signed onto the Iraq War Resolution. Remember, if you will, the vast majority of Congress "approved of" the Iraq War Resolution but, that all depends upon what "approved of" truly means. With the alarmingly amount of good news in the War In Iraq, why do the Leftinistra distance themselves from the fact of victory is at hand? Is it all that bad for them that they were on the wrong side of this issue from the very start? Would they not gain honor and dignity by admitting they were wrong? Americans are indeed a forgiving people. We hate charlatans and liars and those that will not accept responsibility for their own actions or inactions. Blaming something or someone else for one's own short comings or inabilities is truly a sad state of affairs. One would most certainly be infected with the Ostrich Syndrome while denying that even Al-Qaida has said Iraq is lost. Boy. This could get interesting. Please continue as you are, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. The Abyss of Obscurity awaits you.
