So If Clinton Thinks Her Vote For War Was OK...

...then does she think that those who voted against war - including most Democrats in Congress - were traitors? Or idiots?

1. Good question

Hillary will have to triangulate a little before answering.

3. Sigh...how many times are the weakminded amongst us...

continue to call a war that is not a declared war, a war? How many times are these poor misguided people going to blame the invasion on Hillary, instead of Bush? How many tiresome hours will be wasted reading these repetitive false claims?

Geez guys, the world wants to know.

Come up with something new and different.

4. So The Majority Of Congressional Democrats Were Wrong?

For voting against the war?

Why do you think they were wrong?

5. The OP is just like the old gerbil going round and round

on his stinky plastic orange wheel day after day night after night 24/7

until each tiny extremity shrivels up and drops off

There is no there there

6. "weak minded" ...boy are you holier than

thou..or is a smarter than thou? Tell that to the dead Soldiers families and the Iraqis who lost their loved ones that it wasn't a fucking war. ANd hily has fucking blood on her hands..they all do. John Kerry and John Edwards have done a 180 on it..but not ol' hilary.

2. Interesting question: Obviously, at the time of the vote, she would have preferred that they

voted with her. She probably doesn't think in terms of things like "they were traitors" but she probably thought they were at least making a big mistake, i.e. they were dumb not to vote her way. It would be interesting to ask her.

7. She didnt vote to go to war

She has clarified it many times. Bush was to come back to congress for another vote, and to the UN to get final approval, which he didnt do.

9. you can nitpick about whether the Iraq War Resolution was actually a war or not

but that's besides the point. She gave Bush authorization to invade Iraq without even bothering to read the National Intelligence Estimate. Inexcusable.

8. Edwards co-sponsored it, for years Obama voted to continue it,

(who really knows how he would have voted when it came right down to it). McCain voted for it. I don't think it's a campaign issue.
