I continue to be utterly mystified.

105. I do not completely fault her

A person in her position makes decisions based upon the facts they're provided. If you cannot trust the word of your country's own intelligence and military, whose word do you take?

To me, some war criminals were in the White House putting their fingers on the scales of intelligence providing these senators and the nation with faulty facts on which to base their decision on a vote.

Something like 72% of Americans supported war against Iraq ... because they were deceived by the war criminals in the White House. As much as I like Bernie better, I will not stick the blame for that vote entirely on Hillary. She was deceived like most Americans by Dick Cheney and Company. I do not think it's fair to expect the Vice President of the United States would lie about such a thing - most of us were thoroughly disgusted by their conduct.

Having said that, Obama and Sanders didn't get sucked in by the war criminals and they do deserve considerable credit for the position they took because it certainly wasn't a popular position to take at the time. And they both spoke out against the war at the time the decision was being made. And that is one of the reasons I like Bernie better.
