Reply #24: If Hillary had stood up and told the TRUTH....

[CoffeeCat]

.... she could have made it extremely difficult for George Bush and his neocon brigade to take us into Iraq.

That's a fact!!

Look at this 1998 letter to then-President Bill Clinton, from Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, Rumsfeld and
other reocons. They demanded war with Iraq in 1998! Bill rebuffed their efforts.

These neocon sociopaths---the same people!!!---come back again, headed by George Bush, and try to
take us into the same war.

Hillary is a powerful New York Senator on the Armed Services Committee. Are you trying to tell me that
Hillary lacked any power to do anything????

All she had to do is stand on the Senate floor and say, "This same cast of characters came to my husband
in 1998, and asked my husband for war with Iraq. They didn't get their war. Here they are again, asking
for the same war with Iraq...only this time they're riding on the coattails of Sept 11. Maybe we need to
step back, slow down and ask some serious questions before we take this most monumental and irreversible
of steps."

Hillary Clintons remained silent. She never pointed out the significance of that 1998 letter.

You can argue all day long that she couldn't have stopped the war, but you can NEVER argue that
her silence was anything but behavior that helped the neocons get their precious Iraq war.

Here's a copy of that 1998 letter to President Bill Clinton, from the neocons: http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm
