Dodd Switcheroo
The following quotes from Senator Dodd illustrate the fact that he assumes positions on matters of grave importance such as war based not on philosophy or principal, but on politics.
Sen. Chris Dodd, Oct. 3, 2004:
Certainly I think today people realize here that -- that the number of troops we have there, given the magnitude of the problem, given the problems we're facing, probably has to be increased.
Sen. Chris Dodd, Jan. 17, 2007: I don't think it is at all. The idea that further military, escalating military, involvement is going to produce the desired results will work -- I'm very much opposed it.

Did you ever take the word of "chickenhawk" Bill Clinton?
I understand. Is it your view that one cannot be commander-in-chief if one has not served in the military? (For the record, Dodd did serve in the Army Reserves.)
