It was a powerful argument for war made by a politician with long years of experience in the White House.
“Intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program,” said this national leader.
“If left unchecked,” the politician argued, “Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well, affects American security.
“This much is undisputed,” declared this Democrat as she voted to authorize the war in Iraq.
The question now is: Why did Sen. Hillary Clinton get it so wrong?
Had she--to use the formulation Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada is now using to attack President Bush--“manufactured and manipulated intelligence”? Did Hillary lie America into war?
No, she did not.
Sen. Clinton got her bad intelligence the same place President Bush got his: the CIA. Specifically, from George Tenet, the man
President Clinton appointed Director of Central Intelligence (DCI).
I guess they got the talking points memo too? :yoiks:
