8. This was not a "from the top" decision
MoveOn members voted for this...So it makes no sense to say "their decision makes me mad", or "happy" or whatever.

However, I have to say that Hillary lost me on the day after September 11th 2001 when she came out for a tv interview, and said "Oh yes, this is an act of war...the US military will do what is necessary, bla bla".
A lot of our current problems come from the blind acceptance of the completely false statement that the attack was an "act of war".
It was not. And coming from someone as hyper intelligent as Hillary, it strikes me as opportunistic and disigenuous at best.
September 11th 2001, was a crime of mass murder by individuals and as such should have been left to international law enforcement, followed by public trials, etc.
But that's if someone really wanted to find out what Sept.11th 2001 was about, who financed it and who orchestrated it.

So, I, a Kucinich supporter, I think will vote for Obama. Not because of MoveOn of course, but because I don't trust Hillary's sincerity.
