Robert Byrd (among others) gave a scorching speech on the Senate Floor warning Hillary (and the World) that a vote FOR the IWR was a vote FOR WAR! Everybody KNEW!
So Hillary has either a very bad judgment problem, or she supported the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq. :shrug:
Hillary hitched her campaign wagon to the senseless slaughter of thousands of innocents believing that the Invasion would be a cakewalk and she would be looking good for 2008. Any other explanation is either revisionist, or tortured rationalization.
Are ALL of these these Democrats smarter than Hillary?:shrug:
The Democratic Party Honor Roll These Democrats should be remembered for their principled stand against the WAR Machine.
