A quarter of the Senate and a third of the House were NOT fooled into supporting Bush's war with Iraq.
So poor Clinton was just a hapless victim of George Bush's wizard-like mental trickery?
Look, if he really fooled you, then you're too stupid to be President.
If you SAY he fooled you and it's not true, you still don't deserve to be President.
I for one even BELIEVED the WMD line. But I KNEW that there were alternatives for dealing with that other than committing to a full, on-the-ground, violent removal of the entire country's government. So did PLENTY of Senators and Reps. (And so did millions of Americans.)
Clinton stood down and enabled a George Bush policy that has been, as millions of us predicted, an earth-disturbing SINKHOLE of thousands of lives, tens of billions of OUR dollars, and international goodwill. And now we are feeling the consequences in our economy and with our currency.
She does NOT deserve the Democrats’ nomination.
Barack Obama publicly tried to persuade others against the invasion. An American President with such a record is one with whom the other nations of the world will be much more willing to work, and damned if we don't need their help like never before.
Barack Obama's opposition to the 2003 invasion, from whatever large or small pulpit he had at the time, is more than a well-earned merit badge he can show off while running for a higher office. It will be a great asset to America in its ascent out of one of the darkest, most shameful periods in its history.
