Clinton: Cluster bombs are cool
Cluster Bombs Are Not Good for Children, Hillary
(Ditto for Landmines and Sanctions)
By Paul Rockwell
13/03/08 “Commondreams” – – The human soul is difficult to fathom. One person alone is capable of both compassion and cruelty.
In her autobiography, Living History, Senator Hillary Clinton portrays herself as an advocate for children, a defender of women and human rights. In fact, the Clintons have a long history of sacrificing the rights, even the lives of children, for political expediency. It is time to set the record straight.
On September 6, 2006, a Senate bill-a simple amendment to ban the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas-presented Senator Clinton with a timely opportunity to protect the lives of children throughout the world.
The cluster bomb is one of the most hated and heinous weapons in modern war, and its primary victims are children.
Senator Obama voted for the amendment to ban cluster bombs. Senator Clinton, however, voted with the Republicans to kill the humanitarian bill, an amendment in accord with the Geneva Conventions, which already prohibit the use of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas.</em>
Cluster bombs and landmines. What an apt metaphor for the Clinton regime.
