Well perhaps you should have set your alarm clock for the debate a few days ago. While nothing earth shattering occurred, there were some interesting moments. At least some topics not previously 'debated' in the primary season came up. (New Orleans recovery/Katrina, Sudan, trade agreements, health care, school integration/last week's Supreme Court decisions) My favorite 'handled' moment was when Clinton put forward a 'no-fly' zone concept for the Sudan and, if that didn't work, she would bomb. I thought she hit a home run with that--tough woman who would do battle in Africa for human rights!


Sure, Lib, but where would she get the troops and forces to do this? And where is all the talk about forming coalitions and not acting unilaterally? I don't believe a word she says.

For accuracy sake- here's Senator Clinton's Sudan response~~

SEN. CLINTON: There are three things we have to do immediately. Move the peacekeepers that finally the United Nations and the African Union have agreed to into Sudan as soon as possible. In order for them to be effective, there has to be airlift and logistical support, and that can only come either unilaterally from the United States or from NATO. I prefer NATO. And finally, we should have a no-fly zone over Sudan because the Sudanese governments bomb the villages before and after the Janjawid come. And we should make it very clear to the government in Khartoum we’re putting up a no-fly zone; if they fly into it, we will shoot down their planes. Is the only way to get their attention. (Applause.)
