78. She's a neocon. Always has been..,

...and always will be.

The warmongers who spearheaded the Iraq War (Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc.) asked then-President Bill Clinton to go to war with Iraq, in 1996. He rebuffed their efforts.

These neocons had been looking to get a foothold in Iraq for years. Finally, with Cheney and Bush at the helm, they got their war that Clinton would not green light.

And Hillary voted for it. And she knew damn well that these warmongers had been wanting this for years. They begged her husband for it, for Pete's sake.

Sad.
