AnotherVoice

Waxahachie, Texas, March 29, 2005 -- Believing what I was raised to hold sacred, that every voice counts, I've bombarded my local paper for years with letters and op-eds (and been active in politics). Yet here in the heart of everyone's favorite "red state," where it's especially important that another voice be heard, no one seemed to be listening. This is my megaphone.

Call me cynical . . .

Hillary Clinton conceded that she did NOT read the National Intelligence Estimate (that contained contrary intelligence community assessments of the Iraq situation) prior to her vote authorizing the President to, among other things, take the country into war.

Remember that Bob Graham, who read the whole document, said that’s why he opposed the war — and some say it cost him a shot at the presidency.

The cynical take on Hillary’s vote is that it was so important to her to build her “tough on security” credentials that her vote was a foregone conclusion, so why bother.

Is this the kind of judgment we want in someone is supposed to be a leader?
