Hillary voted against diplomacy and for war with Iraq

[jfern]

She never gave diplomacy a chance. She voted against the Levin amendment.

The amendment was designed to rein in the president, who many believed was embarked on an inexorable march to war. The measure required two steps. First, the United Nations would have to pass a resolution explicitly authorizing the use of force against Iraq if it did not permit thorough inspections of its weapons programs. Second, the amendment required the president to return to Congress if his United Nations efforts failed and to secure passage of what Mr. Levin called a “going-it-alone unilateral resolution.”

1. pulled it with Iran, too

[senz]

15. Yes, that's where she stands now with Iran

which puts her at odds with the Obama administration but endears her with rightwing Israelis.

2. Meh..... get over it already n/t

[jfern]

3. We're not going to get over the fact that she never gave diplomacy a chance to work in Iraq

and instead helped start a $2 trillion war that led to the creation of ISIS.

5. Blame Kerry, Biden, John Edwards and almost all the senators then

No need to single out Hillary

[casperthegm]

8. They share responsibility too

But none of them are running for president. The candidate that did and is running for president also happens to claim that her "experience" is a great benefit. All evidence to the contrary.

11. It's time to move on .. it is boring the repeat the same meme

ad nauseum over and over and over and over.

[casperthegm]

12. Got some bad news for you...

Not gonna happen

Facts don't go away. And I feel like hanging around and posting some more stuff. Feel the Bern

4. I guess the families of the

dead should get over it, too?

[cosmicone]

6. Yes. Just like the families of gun violence victims

got over Bernie's pro-gun votes.

[840high]

14. not this sh*t again.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. Hillary would sure like to get over it.

[cosmicone]

9. The whole world is over it

The Iraq war was 13 years ago.

Why not revisit Woodrow Wilson's decision to join WWI while we're at it?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. That too was dismissed as a "mistake".

[killbotfactory]

13. The Iraq war created a power vacuum that ISIS filled

And it was completely predictable.

And then we did the same fucking thing in Libya and Syria, with Hillary leading the charge.
