Is this even remotely true? Chelsea Clinton was all anti/anti-war?

"But students at Oxford said today that far from people approaching her, Ms Clinton has been looking for an argument. Eight days ago she attended an anti-war rally at Oxford town hall with a group of friends. Not only did they hang an American flag across the wall, the group heckled from the floor, calling out: "How do you catch Osama, then?""

From what I can gather she seems to have only expressed an anti/anti-war sentiment on the occasion of the Afghanistan retribution, which I was ambivalent about since I figured we'd bomb-shit, take over, then slowly lose control, then leave, and it seems I'm 3/4 through my predictions...

That said, even in my disgust over the WTC murders, I never waged an anti/anti war protest, that never occured to me (I hated the Taliban Pre-9/11 but I didn't know what an invasion would accomplish, I'm of the "Kill them in their kitchen at 3am" mindset, not the "let's give them weeks to leave then occupy the country way"...), really. So now my curiousity is raised, does anybody have any of her Iraq Invasion views on hand? Not that it should matter but, but, I suppose when one reaps from the media adulation?

This is a first for me, I've always been a defender of our Nouvo LiberalPlutocratic Progeny, I'm not so pleased with it...But I'm a little perplexed because I don't remember hearing about this in 2001? was it reported? Where? Imperialism is Imperialism to me. There is little ambiguity.

Oh an BTW I despise the little conserative turds that feed off of the golden parental teat too...Merit, society, be damned.

Just a, what I believe, relevant observation.

3. Reading this and related links...
...this was November 2001.

Hell, I think our own Will Pitt here was waxing ra-ra-murika bout that time. I think the figure cited was...10%...were "anti-Bush" then...

4. Like I said, I'm not pleased with this, I'm curious however about Iraq.
And Ms. Clinton.

I suppose, I hope, she's rabidly anti-Iraq Invasion now.

PS~ For the record I was neither rabidly for, or against, the Afghanistan Invasion. In hind-site I'd have to say it was poorly executed, much like the Iraq Invasion.

7. Well, you weren't the only one in limbo about the Taliban
I have to admit I was kinda squeamish when they asked for evidence of Osama being responsible for 9/11 and the Bushies refusing to offer it saying it was classified. I hated the Taliban but I was thouroughly confused by the events there but had no confusion about Bush wanting 9/11 to happen so that he had a good excuse to take our rights away.

Chelsea's position is odd isn't it. Methinks it comes down to the lieing in the same bed thing. Politics aside, birds of a feather flock together.
