Hillary Hypocrisy on Nukes: Made Same Statement as Obama 1 Year Ago

Well, well, well. No surprise here. The Clintons have a habit of being caught in a lie. Will the rest of the press bother to notice her hypocrisy after beating Obama over the head over his views the last few weeks. Will they ask her about it? Stay tuned:
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who chastised rival Barack Obama for ruling out the use of nuclear weapons in the war on terror, did just that when asked about Iran a year ago.

"I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table," she said in April 2006.

You can bet if someone in the press has the decency to ask about her inconsistency on this issue, Hillary will have a typical Clintonian response:
[...]in an interview with Bloomberg Television in April 2006. The New York senator, a member of the Armed Services committee, was asked about reports that the Bush administration was considering military intervention _ possibly even a nuclear strike _ to prevent Iran from escalating its nuclear program.

"I have said publicly no option should be off the table, but I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table," Clinton said. "This administration has been very willing to talk about using nuclear weapons in a way we haven't seen since the dawn of a nuclear age. I think that's a terrible mistake."
