Why did Hillary Vote for the War?
by ctcadguy

I think Hillary was immoral with her war vote. She voted for the war cause she thought it was in her political interests - PERIOD!!!!

I do not believe she thought Sadam was a threat. She just did not want to not support what she thought would be a popular war. She thought it would be like Gulf war 1.

She missed the obvious. Citizens of any country do not take kindly to foriegn occupation. That was a pretty big oversight on her part - NOT TO BRIGHT THERE HILLARY-KINDA MISSING THE OBVIOUS. Guess that is why it was not like Gulf War 1 - DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it turned out that war vote cost her the presidency. I truly believe that. That war vote was the biggest mistake she ever made.

Over one million dead Iraqi's are proof of that. That blood is on everyone's hands who supported this attack without the proof of WMD's.

What bothers me is that she waited so long to admit what a blunder it was. If she had admitted this she may have been president. I realize she claims she was lied to about the threat. Does not matter - many people saw through the Bush lies, why didn't she? Frankly like I said, I beieve she knew WMD's was a lie.

SOME PEOPLE WOULD CALL HER A WAR CRIMINAL FOR THAT VOTE. IF SHE KNEW BUSH WAS LIEING THEN THAT IS TRUE. AGAIN I THINK SHE KNEW WMD"S WAS BULLSHIT.

BUSH WAS AN OBVIOUS FASCIST TO ME. HE IS A JESUS FREAK AND JESUS FREAKS TEND TO BE WAR-MONGERS.

I knew at the time WMD's was an excuse to steal the military bases and oil. It did not work though did it? Why - cause Iraqi's do not like foriegners in their lands controlling things and trying to steal the oil. Duh!!!!!!!!!!

We as a people have to realize just because we have the best weapons does not mean we can steal another countries natural resources. Remember the Nazis and their experiences. The world unites against bullies. We have been bullies.

I think she wanted to appear tough...in the end she only looked silly blaming Bush for "fooling" her.

Hey and one million Iraqis are dead - most innocent civilians.

What leadership - this indifferent lawmaker needs to be put out to pasture with the rest of the war-criminals that voted for this immoral occupations.

Empires always crumble - ask the British and the Romans

God I hate these imperilistic politicians who think we have the right to attack defenseless countries for war profits.

Maybe it was because clinton and almost all of the democrats had told us for 8 years that Iraq had WMD and Saddam was a threat.

so what you are saying is that bush DIDNT LIE to the american people just like he did hillary?

do you people EVER use your heads?

or do you run purely on your emotions and your apparent hatred of the clintons?

i wonder how THAT is any different from any other campaign

WHY DONT YOU FOOLS AT LAST ADMIT OBAMA IS JUST ANOTHER POLITICIAN ????

Hillary's war vote tells us a heckuva lot about her.

In casting her politico-mercenary vote, she HAD to have been thinking that it was going to turn out well. That doesn't speak well of her thought processes. For of course, even then, there were people (Obama) who were suggesting an alternative view.

obama's anti war speech??? is THAT what you are talking about?

wonder why he TOOK THE SPEECH OFF HIS WEB SITE DURING THE SENATE CAMPAIGN????? if it was so damned important???? cause he didnt want it COSTING him votes

when obama first came to d.c. he said , out loud, that he didnt know how he would have voted on the war. he said there was very little difference between what his position about the iraq war and what bush's position was.

hell obama , if on the floor of the senate, would have voted PRESENT like he did 130 times in illinois....or vote LAST which is his NEW tactic for his OWN political purposes

when WILL you guys wake the hell up and SEE obama as the dishonest POLITICIAN he is????

Votes aside, dems rock...Hillary "guessed" wrong and Obama

shameful

demzcheez, you're having a hard time transitioning
by fairlane
from "pathetic redwing sack-o-shit", taking advantage of the simplitude of the Hillarians in order to attack Obama, into an effective advocate for your GOPer position. You never fooled the most of us, although you WERE able to make jackasses of a certain Hillarian contingent. But...now that Hillary's campaign is concluded, your schtick is making even THOSE folks a little uncomfortable!
fairlane is such an obama idiot
by dems rock
