Here's the thing - don't expect me to be enthused about someone who cozys up to a mass murderer.

307. I meant only that those next generation of DLC thinks tanks are also her advisors.

Thanks for that reference, though.

As far as the 2002 Iraq War vote (and her speech urging the invasion), she can't backtrack. No one gets a Mulligan for a fucking war vote, especially not that one.

The intel was obviously bad. Democrats who bothered to look into it. even a little, ALL knew it and we had no special inside information, no NIE to skip reading. Susan Sarandon, an actress, also lacking any special info, made a commercial saying she wanted to know why before we went to war. But, Hillary was there selling it.

We didn't let Bush/Cheney blame that mess on bad intel, but we'll allow Hillary to do that? How? Why?

Disgraceful.

Our troops dead and injured, physically and/or emotionally.

Maybe a million Iraqis displaced, who knows how many dead or maimed.

Al Qaeeda Iraq. ISIL. One mess after the other. Al Qaeeda Iraq. ISIL. One mess after the other. The ramifications are incalculable and continuing.

And why, so Bush could look as though he was doing something about 911, even though everyone knew Saddam and Bin Laden hated each other. A shot at Iraqi oil? Bush's re-election, since the US has never voted out an incumbent during a war? Why?



No, no mulligan on a war vote, not for someone asking to be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America. No claiming all those deaths and maimings were so long ago. No claiming any of it was too long ago to matter.
