Related: About this forumMore bad footage for Hillary: She is excited and hopeful about Iraq's business opportunities in 2011
[WARNING: NSFW]
Most of you have not seen this footage. Hillary and her people probably wish no one would.
2011: Secretary Clinton is excited and hopeful about Iraq's future and the business opportunities that Iraq has for US Oil companies.
It's not until 2014 that she admits her vote to authorize the war was a mistake. Coincidentally, while promoting her book and positioning herself to begin her campaign.

(7,231 posts)That was the worst decision she ever made. (And I am including her opposition to equal rights.)

(13,877 posts)You don't just, hahahah, make a mistake about bloodshed, permanent injuries, families ruined or impacted forever. If she cannot run on her record, which of course she can't...she needs to be primaried.
Her punishment should be to listen and watch hours of what we just saw. Who knew there would be maiming and killing of innocent children? Hopefully she wouldn't laugh at that. HRC just couldn't or didn't want to figure it out.
Get your insults right. Ranks right up their with "cut it out". And I think many vets would shame you for your "kitchen-sink" put down.
For shame.
ETA: She had "hard choices" to make...see, here's my book everyone. Go out and get a copy, OK?

Riding on *'s coattails. That's sick. She's a work of art.

A lot of people who supported the war later decided it was a mistake. That's how Dubya became unpopular and helped Obama win on the platform of putting an end to it.

(568 posts)truth is.. it may have been a different world if she would have stood up to the Neocons. But that wasn't in her heart. It wasn't in her DNA then. And there is no reason to think that it is now.
