Hillary Clinton, Dick Cheney and Bernie Sanders before the Iraq war in their own words

[Fumesucker]

If you haven't seen the Cheney video in particular you owe it to yourself to watch it, it's quite eye opening.

2. The subject in question is Iraq

Reading is Fundamental.

3. This OP is about Iraq. Quagmire in Afghanistan created by the diversion to where they really wanted

to go, Iraq, is yet another DISASTER caused by the Iraq invasion which had ZERO to do with 9/11 and which ordinary people knew. While too many of our Representatives apparently didn't have the same intel we ordinary people found on Google and voted for it.

Bernie is a leader, he has made the right decisions on almost every issue he was asked to make a decision on throughout his long career.

He has the two qualities necessary in a leader, good judgement and foresight.

Sadly his predictions on that day, have turned out to be so tragically true.

9. Which has nothing to do with this. Thanks for playing! nt

14. Those damn drive-byes...

[Warren DeMontague]

17. and so does Hillary.

Neither point of which has jack diddly shit to do with voting or not voting for the Iraq War.

[beam me up scottie]

19. Hillary claimed Saddam was harboring Al Qaeda:

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members...

It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity 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, effects American security.

This is a very difficult vote, this is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make. Any vote that might lead to war should be hard, but I cast it with conviction."

Your desperate attempt to deflect from the facts on record is noted.

4. If they had only listened to Bernie

[Fumesucker]

5. I only they had listened to Dick v1.9.94

[Cassiopeia]

6. No shit.

The intelligence was there. CNN was reporting it FFS!

The best we could do with the intelligence we had is bullshit.

11. +1 nt

[Fumesucker]

8. Wouldn't it have been nice if Hillary had listened to Dick Cheney v1.9.94?

I'm not the owner of any of those videos all I did was link to them, your accusations are slander.

But of course that's all Hillary partisans have, slander, straw men, red herrings and distractions.

You campaign with the issues you have not the issues you would like to have, you know, substantive ones.

[Live and Learn]

12. It was BS from the beginning. Anyone that didn't realize it, wasn't paying attention.

I expect Senators to pay attention! Hillary failed us.

[Skittles]

13. agreed

anyone who could not figure out what they were up to was either complicit or HAD THEIR HEAD UP THEIR ASS

[Warren DeMontague]

18. did she vote for the thing, or not?

Answer, yes, she voted for it.

[Live and Learn]

10. Dang you Fume, you flared up my POBAB syndrome.

My POBAB (Pissed Off Beyond All Belief) syndrome flares every time I think about that damn war and those that supported it based upon obvious lies.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. I remember at the time I told a friend there were no WMDs and he looked at me like I was crazy....

He said, "If that's true it would be the biggest lie in history!" as if I should back down from that absurd statement.

Then he told me there are too many checks and balances in place to let that happen. If nothing else, the MEDIA would NEVER go along with it. They would expose any lies so it MUST be true.

(He's that CNN fan I mention now and then.)

[Fumesucker]

22. As the Cheney video clearly shows it was the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

And Hillary fell for it, hook line and sinker just as her video shows.

It's instructive that the only Hillary supporters to post on this thread tried strawmen and red herrings.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. How dare you use these right-wing attacks against Hillary here, like "She voted for the Iraq War"

why, you're practically buddy buddy with the Koch bros, aren't you, what with you slinging this unfair misogynist purple gingham shirt brogressive white supremacist volvo driving right-wing anti-Hillary slander.



btw

20. Hillary's vote should have been a disqualifier for her to ever run for anything again as a Democrat.

[reformist2]

21. Hillary was told, this is the position you take if you want to be a "serious" contender for presiden

Such a cynical move on her part, going with the Republicans just so she didn't look like some wacko fringe leftist peacenik.
