Bob Graham was as gung-ho to Invade Iraq as was Bush. See quote:

"There are good reasons to consider attacking today's Italy, by which I
mean Iraq. Saddam Hussein's regime has chemical and biological weapons and is trying to get nuclear capacity."

Senator Bob Graham, Oct. 10, 2002

1. Bill Richardson was as gung-ho to Invade Iraq as was Bush. See quote:

"My view is that it is critically important that the United States not let Saddam Hussein get away with this. Had I have been in the Congress I would have voted for the military resolution authorizing war."

Gov. Bill Richardson February 14, 2003, CNN

3. Now that's bullshit

Reasons to consider is not the same thing as gung-ho to invade, not even close. And if Graham were as gung-ho to invade as Bush, he would have voted for the IWR and not against it. If somebody as sensible as you are is willing to pull this level of nonsense out of the box, I'm starting to worry.

7. It's response to another thread

Where Hillary is being called out, as leader of the party, for her Iraq strategy since the beginning. Somehow these people think taking other people out of context justifies ignoring Hillary's very real position on the war.

5. Look, Hillary supported that damned war

And it's high time people started calling her on it. She still hasn't even challenged Bush on his war lies, the Downing Street Memo, nothing. She's a goddamned coward who has continuously led the Democratic Party down the wrong path. I cannot figure out what kind of blinders people have to put on to follow her.
