Reply #30: Come on...you know Obama would have voted against it if he was in the Senate [View All]

It was political suicide for him to speak out against the war when he did, but he followed his judgment and conviction. Even if he was in the Senate, you know he wouldn't have supported the wa just like his good friend and fellow Senator Durbin. And isn't it true that Hillary didn't even read all the intelligence report?

Also, Hillary is trying to make the point that she was anti-war because she didn't know Bush would use the authority the way he did (which was to go into war). But at the time, she wasn't anti-war, because she never spoke up against the war when miltary actions were beginning.

If she truly supported the rationale for the war, she should be honest and say that she supports the way Bush used his authority (to go into war)! I agree, she can make arguements for the pay it was carried out, but that still doesn't excuse her wanting to engage in war with Iraq.
