Clinton Dodges Political Peril for War Vote

[Excerpts]

There was a time when Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s position on the Iraq war seemed to place her in the same political peril afflicting Senator Joseph I. Lieberman. The senators, both Democrats, voted to authorize the military invasion and both refused to apologize for their votes as the occupation began to falter and opposition to the war swelled. Both were labeled as hawks within Democratic ranks. But while Mr. Lieberman, his party’s vice presidential nominee in 2000, has wound up vulnerable to an antiwar challenger in his re-election race in Connecticut, Mrs. Clinton has suffered few, if any, serious consequences in her campaign in New York.

It is not simply because she faces token opposition; unlike Mr. Lieberman, who has long resisted turning against the war or President Bush’s handling of it, Mrs. Clinton has consistently tried to distance herself from her initial vote without repudiating it, becoming increasingly critical of Mr. Bush’s management of the war.

That process crested on Thursday at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, where Mrs. Clinton bluntly and publicly castigated Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld over the war, in an exchange that drew a considerable amount of news coverage. “Yes, we hear a lot of happy talk and rosy scenarios,” Mrs. Clinton said to Mr. Rumsfeld during the hearing, “but because of the administration’s strategic blunders and, frankly, the record of incompetence in executing, you are presiding over a failed policy.”

Even those remarks have not satisfied the most ardent opponents of the war. Her antiwar Democratic primary opponent, Jonathan Tasini, dismissed them as “more bluster” and said Mrs. Clinton was “trying to obscure her record by shifting the focus to Rumsfeld.”

Yet while skillful repositioning and adaptation to changing circumstances have enabled her to avoid political damage, they have also exposed her to a line of criticism that has come to dog her in the same way it did her husband during his presidency: that she devises policy positions to shield herself from attacks from the left or right and surrenders principle to political flexibility.

While Mrs. Clinton has come under fire for not repudiating her initial vote to authorize the war, she contends that intelligence reports that her husband saw in the White House supported the Bush administration’s contention that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction. She has said that she believed Mr. Bush when he said he intended to use the Congressional authority to force weapons inspectors back into Iraq rather than immediately heading into war. Her associates said she had been assured as much by Condoleezza Rice, then the national security adviser, in a phone call. Sean McCormack, a spokesman for Ms. Rice, said she had no specific recollection of the call to Mrs. Clinton, but did not dispute that it took place.

Mrs. Clinton has sought to cast her position on Iraq as part of a broader and consistent approach to foreign policy and the use of military force. She subscribes, in her words, to a doctrine of “sensible internationalism, pragmatic internationalism” — a philosophy that essentially calls for military intervention when it has broad global support and is all but certain to succeed.

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, 58, 15 OLD HOUSE, CHAPPAQUA, NY 10514

The Clinton residence adjoins the perennially war-loving, conservative Readers Digest headquarters, publisher of an envious diatribe against Cryptome as "a dangerous website:"

Perhaps if more of us complain, that could change. One thing's for certain: We can't persuade the people who get a thrill exposing dangerous facts to sober up. When I asked John Young if there was anything he wouldn't reveal on his site -- a fault in the President's Secret Service detail, for instance -- he said, "Well, I'm actually looking for that information right now." Wonderful.

The Clintons agreed to pay slightly more than the list price of $1.695 million to purchase the $1.7 million four-story white Georgian colonial that will give Hillary Rodham Clinton the New York residency she needs if she decides to run for the U.S. Senate. White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said the Clintons will borrow $1.3 million from Bankers Trust Co. The loan will be guaranteed in part by Terry McAuliffe, the president's friend and one of his chief fund-raisers.
