THE HILDABEAST - NO COMMENT ON PRE-WAR INTEL

The Hildabeast has been extremely quiet during the pre-war intelligence debate that has been highly visible during the last few weeks. Why ? Personally I think that she does NOT know how to chime in without sticking her foot in her mouth because of criticism received from the left wing of her party. She has consistently been in favor of the war while also consistently criticizing the Bush administration's handling of the war. In other words, as usual playing both sides of the coin, favoring to court the moderates and criticism to court the liberals. Her favoritism of the war though has counterbalanced her criticism of Bush with the left and her poll numbers with that faction of her party have had a steady decline throughout the year, which is why I believe that she has been mute during the pre-war debate. She claimed to have viewed the intelligence in 2002 during a speech before the Senate in which she said the following, "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." Now that her liberal friends in the Senate have conveniently forgotten that they too viewed the same information and just as the Hildabeast came to the same conclusion as the President, the Hildabeast declines to comment because no matter WHAT she says her foot will slide completely in her mouth and she will anger either the left or the moderates, both of whom she needs for ANY hope in 2008. So she remains silent until the polls tell her whether she can speak on this subject. What a wicked web she weaves ! The Hildabeast watch continues.
