(7,231 posts)She has done nothing since to show she has learned from her mistakes. Ask her about Syria, and the response is: we'll do Iraq 3.0.
Whether her actions will have consequences is debatable. No consequences for herself have thusfar been reported.

(11,804 posts)That said, the argument being made by that video isn't an intellectual one- it's an emotional one. It is designed to present Hillary Clinton as insensitive at best to the suffering created by the Iraq War. She doesn't care and even laughs at the suffering she's caused; that's what you are supposed to take away from seeing her with that awkward laugh and then immediately seeing a mutilated Iraqi civilian or the casket of the American Soldier.
