55. Has she ever apologized for her support for the invasions of those countries, Iraq in

particular, which has devasted the entire country and reduced women to nothing. SHE SUPPORTED and still does afaik, that egregious violation of human rights.

She cannot seriously claim to support women's rights and not have at least finally come to the conclusion that she was wrong. There were no WMDs in Iraq, I have heard others who foolishly supported invasion, finally admit, too late, that they were wrong.

If she has joined them, I have not seen it. I saw her support for the Libya invasion, has she addressed the murders and rapes of women from sub Saharan Africa who were caught in the crossfire of that atrocity?

If she has directly addressed all these women and apologized to them for supporting the destruction of their lives and all of their human rights, then please link to it.

I did not support her because of her support for these horrific wars.


Where is the lie in my comment? Did she or did she not support all of these Bush wars? I also remember he prevarication on torture. I do not support people who promote human rights abuses and the entire Iraq Debacle was one massive human rights abuse which is still going on as we totally destroyed that country.

If you have links to her addressing what we did to those women, I'd like to see them.

But no one who supports women's rights supports unnecessary wars for profit.
