What does it ACTUALLY mean to sanction a "mistake" like Iraq?

[reddread]

does supporting Hillary embolden plans for future exploits along identical lines?
Are we heading down a path of peace and prosperity by putting it behind us?

Im concerned about this particular issue.
What do you think it would/will/does mean to support the war as a "mistake"?

1. She got it wrong.

She fucked up big time. She admits it. So does almost everyone else who supported that damn war. Colin Powell and everyone else said there were WMD. They were all wrong. Whether anyone wants to give her a pass on it is up to them.

3. They all lied and had to pay people to lie and put forward garbage which they then fed us

to the best of their ability.
how much anyone swallowed may be an interesting consideration
when determining fault.
Comparing anyone to Colin Powell is kind of a backhanded compliment,
especially if horrendous war crimes are involved.

2. I believe she knew it was wrong and voted for it anyways

and to me, that is not forgivable

4. Could be.

We'll never know what was in her head.

7. we do know she had access to an ex presidents information resources.

she wasnt searching yahoo.

9. That is true

And we know Bill's SoS, Albright, claimed that bombing the Iraqi children was worth the price they paid.

I will never forget that and never forgive that vicious feeling and policy that trickled down out of the Clinton White House.

10. Yes.

And the government is a monumental clusterfuck at all levels. They get it wrong all the time from police to Department of Motor Vehicles to IRS. I've had to fight every one of those entities and won every time, But it cost me a shitload of money to do it. And they don't pay you back for THEIR stupidity and errors.

I was protesting against that fucking war in DC before it even started and had people yelling at me, calling me ugly bitch, fat ass, slut, old fuck, traitor, whore, asshole, etc.

5. she had plenty of access to all the information

she wasnt reading the paper to see what was going on.
daily CIA briefings?
whats that perk for ex prez's?

6. It was'nt their kids sent out to fight ....

but they seem awfully keen to send out everyone else's . Do you really want someone like that in power ? They still will not accept the responsibility they had to their electorate to do what is best for the country and went with what was best for their personal enrichment at the expense of a generation . If they truly did take responsibility they would step aside , but that would require a little thing called integrity .

8. Nobody paid me a dime and I knew it was wrong!

How could that be? I do no accept the notion that politicians did not know right from wrong due to the intelligence!

[reddread]

11. it would be incredible to see what intelligence was presented to Bill Clinton

from 2000-2003,
wonder what distinguished his briefings from say GW/Cheney's custom fitted fictional adventures?
