May 2016

And they needed a reason.

Hillary Clinton is not a stupid woman. If she is then she has no right to be running for President of the United States. She was in the White House just 2 years before this and she knew exactly what was going on out there. The Clintons still had contacts that had access to some high level secure information. She knew about what W wanted to do and what Saddam was capable of doing. It was a bogus war and she knew that and voted for it anyway.
