2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Sanders Campaign Criticism of Clinton's Iraq War Vote [View all]KingCharlemagne
(7,908 posts)29. You are hiding a small lie inside a bigger lie, to wit, that "72% of
the public supported the Iraq War at the time of the vote." The fact is that even on the eve of the invasion on March 20, 2003, 50% of the American public wanted to give the U.N. inspectors time to finish their work. IOW, against war as a first resort. Of course, letting the U.N. weapons inspectors finish their work was exactly what the Bush Junta could not afford to let happen at any cost. Hillary's vote thus subverted international law and the will of the people (your big lie). Nice try at rewriting history, though. Too bad most of us who lived through every sorry, sordid day of it are still alive. (RIP Malachai Richter.)
Of course, the Iraq vote disqualifies HRC from POTUS.

I don't agree...I knew there was no real reason to invade Iraq. Why didn't she?
