14. I call BS on this statement

"Senators Schumer and Clinton were sent several letters begging them to help remove the Iraqis from Abu Ghraib as it was in violation of the Geneva conventions regarding protecting those under an army's charge and keeping them safe from harm and away from the field of battle. Crickets on that one folks, big crickets."

I have never seen a copy of any of these supposed letters, and I, who was against the invasion, followed Hillary intensely. Do you have proof. If not comments like these are inflammatory.

Hillary signed the document that sent shrub and his minions to war, but if you read the document, it did not give him authorization to invade until a second UN agreement, which never happened. GWB is a war criminal going against the congressional authorization and the UN charter. Signing the authorization was not agreeing that Iraq should be invaded. Both the current UN inspector and the previous UN inspector told GWB and the neo cons that there was no there, there.

There are things about the other Democratic candidates that are just as inflammatory, but I refuse to spew this type of muck.
