Need more proof that Hillary will say anything that would get her into power? Remember the article I wrote about Barack Obama saying he won't use nuclear weapons and Hillary stating that his statement was "naive".

Well, she said the exact same thing a little more than a year ago when discussing Iran. She said it almost word for word: "I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table"

So which is it hypocritical Hillary? Is Barack correct or did you lie?

Of course, her campaign folks are trying to "put it in perspective"

Her campaign spokesman, Phil Singer, said the circumstances for her remarks last year were different than the situation Obama faced.

"She was asked to respond to specific reports that the Bush-Cheney administration was actively considering nuclear strikes on Iran even as it refused to engage diplomatically," he said. "She wasn't talking about a broad hypothetical nor was she speaking as a presidential candidate. Given the saber-rattling that was coming from the Bush White House at the time, it was totally appropriate and necessary to respond to that report and call it the wrong policy."

So the fact that she wasn't running for President at the time means what now? Obama wasn't talking about a broad hypothetical either. You could call it a wrong policy, but don't backtrack when you're caught being a hypocrite. It makes you look like a hypocrite AND a liar.
