A lot of us, however, would prefer to have a choice, someone to the left of Hillary. Hillary is too cozy with Wall Street and the likes of Henry "Chilean Coup" Kissinger and was too eager to carry the bucket for Bush's war, and her husband is way too cozy with the Bushes and has campaigned against at least one liberal Democratic candidate.

Wes Clark has described them, how detailed they were, down to showing exactly where the WMD's were stored.

This was Bush/Cheney's war

Kerry stood up and admitted the vote was wrong and apologized for it. Since then he's done a hell of a job as SOS, avoiding war w Iran

In the meantime, Bush/Cheney/Rove are still boasting about the Iraq war.

And Bush III has employed all the PNAC crowd as his foreign policy advisors.

But Democrats were not fooled by the lies. They are way smarter than that. No, they chose to bow down before Bush/Cheney and give them the authority to destroy Iraq. The consequences are so sever that those that "made the mistake" need to be held accountable.

By the way, the PNAC neocons have a soft spot for hawkish H. Clinton.

They were a bunch of self serving complicit cowards who voted yes because thought all that oil was a good idea, or they followed their marching orders, or so they would appear to be getting some sort of revenge for 911 and were stupid enough to believe the PNAC lies.

Some are in total denial of the consequences of the decision to allow Bush/Cheney a free hand in destroying Iraq. All responsible should be held accountable. To "forgive" H. Clinton for such a huge mistake doesn't make sense. It's as if there are no other possible candidates. Who's to say she won't make the same mistake in the future? The Neocon hawks are rooting for her.

If you don't agree with my assessment of H. Clinton's responsibility, why don't you actually make a case in lieu of telling me I am "fucking hilarious"?

I guess that will blow a few fuses around.... And hopefully she will be the next US president to boot - that would do a lot of early graves for some of the hard-line Gop hopeful les if she was elected the next president of the United States...

But then again - she have a long way to go yet - before the election - and I am sure the GOP will do everything in their power, to damage her as best as they are able to do it.. Even if it means cheat, steal and do every bad trick in the book - and then some who still are not on the books...
