According to Woodward's book around the Iraq Invasion, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Hadley et alios were obsessed with Sadam for years prior, even wrote Pres Clinton a letter or two demanding "action". Hilary and her husband knew damn well that Bush was exploiting 911 to justify Iraq invasion. So did most of The Villagers and press; they'd been hearing this Neo Con War Howl looking for an opportunity for years.
I remember my feeling of betrayal at the Dems in Congress that day who voted for the Iraq Resolution. Especially those Baby Boomers who had experienced the consequences upon our generation of the lies and imperialistic nonsense to justify Vietnam. Most especially those like the Clintons, who'd demonstrated against that War. They knew as much as any of us that this was a massive mistake and capitulation. I mean just think... with even Halliburton thrown in? Please, ignorance is not a defense for Hilary here.
Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mulkulski voted against the Iraq War Resolution. Eliz Warren never would have voted yes.. Hilary knew the facts yet voted yes. That will always disturb me.
