Bustle: 4 Throwback Hillary Clinton Videos From The 2008 Debate That Will Get You Pumped To See How Much She's ChangedLAUREN HOLTER
During the 2008 primaries, Clinton was a still a New York senator, and the Iraq war was the main international debate topic. At the time, Obama criticized Clinton for voting in favor of using force in Iraq in 2002, and she defended her decision by saying she was simply giving George W. Bush the authority to handle the situation. This year though, Clinton admitted that the vote was a "mistake," and it's not likely to come up in Tuesday's debate since it's old news. The country's attention has now shifted to the threat of ISIS and Clinton will be able to cite her time as secretary of state as proof that she is more equipped to handle global security threats than the other candidates.
