Hillary Clinton Goes Bush League

[Rilgin]

240. It is still up somewhere

The post mostly puts a name to what was in Will Pitt's post about Cheney Wolfowitz and the "cabal". They had an actual organization called the PNAC whose main issue was to lobby for the invasion of Iraq. This was before 9 11 and totally unrelated to WMD. They had some pipe dream that invasion would change the Middle East to being a western democracy and economy.

10 of the original signers of their first letter to Bill Clinton urging Bill to invade Iraq became members of the Bush Administration in the highest positions including the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense.

If you followed politics closely and were informed at all (as we hope Clinton was as a Senator) she would have to know about the PNAC and would know that regardless of the selling of the Iraq War, she was authorizing people who wanted Regime Change in Iraq as their primary foreign policy goal. Her supporter's current meme that she was not authorizing war but some kind of diplomatic weapon to get rid of WMD is totally false given the make up of the Bush Administration as members of the PNAC. It was clearly a vote for invasion.

Will Pitt alludes to the PNAC in his article but does not actually name them.
