During tonights Democratic town hall on MSNBC, Hillary Clinton shockingly defended her vote for the Iraq War as a favor for President Bush helping New York after 9/11. Around the 4-minute mark of the video below, Clinton admitted that she had a different set of experiences with George W. Bush than Sanders did, in response to Chris Matthews asking her why she was wrong on Iraq War while Sanders was right.
Im sitting there in the Oval Office, and Bush says to me, What do you need? And I said, I need $20 billion to rebuild, you know, New York, and he said, You got it. And he was good to his word, Clinton said in response to Matthews question on why Bernie Sanders was right on the Iraq War vote and Clinton was wrong.
Literally, that same day, I get back to the Capitol, and the Republicans are trying to take that money away. We kept calling the White House, Bush kept saying, I gave them my word, Im going to stick with it. So, you know, I had a different set of experiences.

(11,076 posts)How much is that Hill? 20K per person. Sounds like she got a deal! In reality compared to the cost
of war she should have asked for more. Such death and distraction Hillary! Doesn't she ever get tired? In this interview she talks totally devoid of feeling for the destruction she brought about! In the rest of the interview she goes on about who we should kill for our own interests! She has a problem!

Not to mention the death and destruction brought down on the region ever since. Quid pro quo at its most obscene.

(1,976 posts)She's fishing for something that she thinks will in some small way justify her vote. It's only making her look worse. There is no defense. There is no justification. She voted for the war out of political expediency, pure and simple. She's as unprincipled as they come and is morally unfit to be president, in my view.

(9,688 posts)I doubt that there's a single supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton who gives a fart in a windstorm about Iraqi, Libyan, Syrian, Honduran, Yemeni,... lives, or the hellscape their candidate caused in the service of fat war profits.
Not one.

(17,656 posts)It's like they forgot about the Iraq war, the lies Bush told to get us there, or her unwavering support for that war.
So many lies have been told on this forum about her vote, it isn't even funny.

(9,688 posts)They can't wait for more.
They look forward to her rapprochement of the US with Netanyahu, a renewed targeting of Iran, an escalation of the war against Syria.
There's no way anyone can convince me that they "forgot" a thing of that magnitude that continues to escalate to this day, thanks in such large part to Hillary Rodham Clinton and the cluster of neocons clinging to her coat-tails.
Just look at the names flying the HRC avatar and recall their posting history. I say: every one of them is eager for more.
Also, they didn't "forget" about anything when the same bunch, to a person, pilloried Snowden and touted the NSA. That's where they're AT, they are far right wingers who tack on a "pro-choice" label to give themselves a thin veneer of "progressive" cred.
