(9,033 posts)I think she thought a "no" vote would doom her chances for the presidency, and I think it's very possible that's why she voted as she did. My problem is, it takes a lot more strength to stand against the tide, and Hillary Clinton seems to lack that strength, or the judgment to know when she's being lied to. Either that, or she really is just a war hawk who wanted to re-shape the Middle East into something more amenable to US interests. Pick your poison; "honest mistake" doesn't seem to be on the menu.
As for us not seeing "all the BS" that the inner circle did, the inner circle did know that inspectors were in Iraq, were being allowed to do their job, were not finding any WMD (not surprising, since there weren't any to find) and were told to leave so we could launch our Excellent Adventure Abroad on schedule. That alone should have been a red flag for anyone with sense, or courage, or integrity.
