Did Hillary Clinton Just Admit on LIVE TV That Her Iraq War Vote Was a Bribe? (VIDEO)

[shawn703]

During tonight’s Democratic town hall on MSNBC, Hillary Clinton shockingly defended her vote for the Iraq War as a favor for President Bush helping New York after 9/11. Around the 4-minute mark of the video below, Clinton admitted that she had “a different set of experiences” with George W. Bush than Sanders did, in response to Chris Matthews asking her why she was wrong on Iraq War while Sanders was right.

“I’m sitting there in the Oval Office, and Bush says to me, ‘What do you need?’ And I said, ‘I need $20 billion to rebuild, you know, New York,’ and he said, ‘You got it.’ And he was good to his word,” Clinton said in response to Matthews’ question on why Bernie Sanders was right on the Iraq War vote and Clinton was wrong.

“Literally, that same day, I get back to the Capitol, and the Republicans are trying to take that money away. We kept calling the White House, Bush kept saying, ‘I gave them my word, I’m going to stick with it.’ So, you know, I had a different set of experiences.”

1. Sometimes a bribe is just a reason.

[GoneFishin]

2. No surprise. I had no misconception that her vote was guided by ethics and morality.

[Thinkingabout]

3. No, not a bribe and you have left out the rest of the story.

Please include the rest of what was said.

4. $20 billion divided by at least a million dead or destroyed lives in Iraq and the US military.

How much is that Hill? 20K per person. Sounds like she got a deal! In reality compared to the cost
of war she should have asked for more. Such death and distraction Hillary! Doesn't she ever get tired? In this interview she talks totally devoid of feeling for the destruction she brought about! In the rest of the interview she goes on about who we should kill for our own interests! She has a problem!

7. Sickening.

[Lucinda]

5. Oh good grief. n/t

[shawn703]

9. Disgusting that she agreed to put American lives on the line for $20 billion

Not to mention the death and destruction brought down on the region ever since. Quid pro quo at its most obscene.

15. Don't men want to look good too?

20 mil? She spends that much on pant suits and pancake makeup per year.

Don't men want to look good too?

11. missing a few zeros... 20 billion, right?

[shawn703]

19. You're right

[Broward]

6. Actually, I think she's lying again here, big surprise.

She's fishing for something that she thinks will in some small way justify her vote. It's only making her look worse. There is no defense. There is no justification. She voted for the war out of political expediency, pure and simple. She's as unprincipled as they come and is morally unfit to be president, in my view.

[arcane1]

24. I think so too. She voted for Iraq because she AGREED WITH BUSH.

It's that simple. Just like Kerry.

[silenttigersong]

8. I wonder how many times she ,and Tweety rehearsed n/t

[Kalidurga]

12. Give her a break she has to say something to try to make us forget what she said last week...

about Nancy Reagan. Otherwise people might start checking on what happened in Arkansas when Health Management Associates went blood mining.

[NCTraveler]

13. You left out a lot in order to promote deception.

Then again, it's what happens when one comes up with a narrative and then starts writing.

[shawn703]

20. That's rich coming from Camp Weathervane

[NCTraveler]

21. Ok.

Not sure what your issue is. Tha admittance by way of deflection was nice. Sorry, don't have any names to call you. Lol

GOTV!!!!

[delrem]

14. Well, she does take pride in how she can work with Republicans.

I doubt that there's a single supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton who gives a fart in a windstorm about Iraqi, Libyan, Syrian, Honduran, Yemeni,... lives, or the hellscape their candidate caused in the service of fat war profits.

Not one.

[Major Hogwash]

18. Unfortunately.

It's like they forgot about the Iraq war, the lies Bush told to get us there, or her unwavering support for that war.

So many lies have been told on this forum about her vote, it isn't even funny.

[delrem]

23. They haven't forgotten. They support it. They support her destruction of Libya.

They can't wait for more.
They look forward to her rapprochement of the US with Netanyahu, a renewed targeting of Iran, an escalation of the war against Syria.

There's no way anyone can convince me that they "forgot" a thing of that magnitude that continues to escalate to this day, thanks in such large part to Hillary Rodham Clinton and the cluster of neocons clinging to her coat-tails.

Just look at the names flying the HRC avatar and recall their posting history. I say: every one of them is eager for more.

Also, they didn't "forget" about anything when the same bunch, to a person, pilloried Snowden and touted the NSA. That's where they're AT, they are far right wingers who tack on a "pro-choice" label to give themselves a thin veneer of "progressive" cred.

16. kick

[Major Hogwash]

17. I wouldn't call it a bribe.

It's more like a kickback.

With each passing day, she sounds more like Ghouliani.

[krawhitham]

22. She admits she can be bought, even when American lives are on the line.

So what are her Wall Street donors buying?
