145. Everyone but those that would benefit from the war knew the so-called intellegence

was garbage. All our allies turned their backs on us because they knew there were no WMD's in Iraq. I don't believe for a min that Clinton was "fooled" by the Bush lies. But you seem to think, while all progressives were screaming "don't do it", she was fooled by Bush. I wouldn't ever believe Bush but you say Clinton did believe Bush.

You asking what she specifically said that was a lie has me baffled. You really don't know? If you are a supporter you should know. It's easy to find on the internetz.

By the way, every single piece of the intellegence she used for justification was debunked AT THE TIME. There was no yellow cake, the prime witness was proved to be a liar by the Germans, the tubes that Powell swore were to build nuclear weapons were for irrigation or some other shit, etc.

The good ole USofA killed maybe a million people in Iraq based on lies. It bothers me very much when people try to justify that. HRC turned on the Democrats, turned on the nation, and turned on the poor Iraqi people, and sided with the lying Republicons. She now says it was a mistake. Really? That's it? No apology to the millions of Iraqi's whose lives were ruined?
