The art of answering the unasked question...

See how skillfully Hillary avoids answering the only intelligent and challenging question asked of her during her appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, I mean "The View";

Behar: "Last time you were here, I asked you if you were sorry that you didn't vote against the Iraq war. Do you remember that?"

Clinton: "I do remember that."

Behar: "How do you feel about it now?"

Clinton: "Well, I, you know, I have said repeatedly that, you know, if we had known then, there wouldn't have been a vote, what we know now. The problem is we’ve got to figure out what to do going forward. It, it really, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s such a serious challenge to us and part of the problem is that I think the comprehensiveness of the need for a strategy is something that I don't get a feel that the President and his advisors are really looking at. So I'm hoping that they will, you know, really follow the lead of what the Democrats have been saying for, you know, more than a year, when we voted for something called phased redeployment, which is, we have to begin bringing our troops home."

Behar: "But that's not what he's saying now. He’s saying increase the troops."

Clinton: "That’s not what he’s saying. That’s right."

Anthony: "He's saying more troops."

Hasselbeck: "He’s saying–[crosstalk] in the short term, right? Is that the plan? Increase the troops short term–"

Clinton: "Right. But, but the problem is that, how will it be different? Will this Iraqi government let our troops go after the terrorists? Will they let them go after the people who are causing the violence or will they say no and pull them back again? So, if it's not going to change the mission, if it's not going to be a different strategy, I don't see where putting more troops will make a difference."

Hasselbeck: "Do you think pulling them out too early will–would equate to–sometimes I think of it as, you know, not finishing all of your antibiotics. Okay, there’s a problem there."

Clinton: "Right."

Hasselbeck: "So if you pull out too early, will that create more chaos?"

Clinton: "That’s right. Well, the, but, but the issue is, how do we get the Iraqis to start taking responsibility for themselves?"
