The five lamest excuses for Hillary's vote for the Iraq invasion

http://fpif.org/five-lamest-excuses-hillary-clintons-vote-invade-iraq/

Failing that, they’ve come up with a number of excuses to justify her October 2002 vote for the authorization of military force.


Clinton supporters want Democratic voters to forgive their candidate's support for the most disastrous foreign policy decision in decades. They shouldn't.
