Talk:Cluster bomb

From dKosopedia

Whoever is doing this - GillFlanigan/Noitpecedetartenep/whoever you are - IT IS IDIOTIC TO ATTACK A PERSON FOR NOT SAYING SOMETHING. ESPECIALLY WHEN SO MANY OTHER POLITICIANS ARE SIMILARLY SILENT!!!! Stop with the Clinton bashing, or find some substantiative objection to her. Hairy legs 09:44, 30 January 2007 (PST)

Stop screaming with caps. Makes you appear hysterical. ;) Answer this question: Why won't your candidate, frontrunner Hillary Clinton, talk about cluster bombs? Hmmmmm? Noitpecedetartenep

For some reason I can't access the discussion page on Hillary's positions page. Thank you for keeping the Hillary cluster bomb talk to this page. I noticed the German poll... kind of random. (I know it's meant to be a smear, like saying Osama wants Hillary to win, or something, but I don't think it is a big deal.) The thing is, it would be highly odd to have only a German poll up, so I'm going to take it down in a few weeks, unless you feel like putting up some US polls too. (I'm too lazy to do so.) Oh, and BTW, I read the amendment you are talking about - and now I think I can definitely say why Clinton voted 'nay' - the amendment was opposed by the Department of Defense. (I'm sure you're aware that she is very carful about maintaining a 'hawkish' image... she isn't about the go against the Dept of Defense.) Other reasons she could have opposed it: she might believe it is not the senate's place to decide the rules of engagement, she might think that the Arms Export Control Act already has sufficient guidelines, or she might think that this amendment would be impossible to enforce. Whatever her reason, I don't believe that this was a crucial vote - it appeared to be a token one, because the amendment would likely not effect policy. (I tried to post that on the other talk page, but you're likely having problems accessing it too.) Hairy legs 10:02, 2 February 2007 (PST)
