2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary and the "business opportunity"
When then-U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton voted to authorize the war against Iraq in 2002, she justified her support of the invasion as a way to protect Americas national security. But less than a decade later, as secretary of state, Clinton promoted the war-torn country as a place where American corporations could make big money.
It's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity," she said in a 2011 speech.

her remark is abominable and not defensible but it is a warning of her outlook.

The unfortunate part is she is allowed to be a democrat
The good part is no one is required to vote for her either
