Will Sen. Clinton admit IWR vote was a mistake....

[Jack Bone]

tonight @ the MSNBC Ohio Debate? It could serve her well is she did..whaddaya think?

[Skittles]

1. doesn't matter

it is indefensible

[Windy]

2. If she does it now, it will ring hollow and as opportunistic as her original vote was. nt

[yourout]

6. you read my mind.

[eleny]

3. If she does and then it makes no difference....

That would be worse than the indignity of never having apologized earlier. This is a tough decision for her.

[City Lights]

4. Too late now.

She's had ample opportunity and has passed on it each and every time. If she does it now it'll just look like more pandering.

[Selatius]

5. She never did. She likely never will. n/t

[Thrill]

7. Ego won't allow it

[Recursion]

8. Are you convinced she actually thinks it was the wrong decision? n/t

[JBoy]

9. Will bet my life savings she does not.

She held off so long, it would be political suicide for her to admit it now.

10. Why should she? It wasn't a mistake....

The entire country believed Bush about the WMDs. The entire country trusted that its elected leaders would never plunge us into a war based on phony intelligence.

This misdirected IWR rancor against Hillary based on petty juvenile internecine partisanship gives Bush and his henchmen a free pass for their treachery.

[sendero]

12. Bullshit..

... bullshit and more bullshit. Nobody paying any attention believed that, if you did well sorry to hear it.

HRC is a Democratic neocon, and that is why she is losing. Too bad.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. "The entire country believed Bush about the WMDs"

No they didn't.

"The entire country trusted that its elected leaders would never plunge us into a war based on phony intelligence."

Except for all the people who knew it was a bunch of bullshit. Millions of people from all walks of life inside and outside Washington knew the whole thing was transparent crap. The funny thing about transparent crap is that it is transparent crap.

"This misdirected IWR rancor against Hillary based on petty juvenile internecine partisanship" - actually this is a huge and substantial issue. Turbans and plagiarism and cults and other idiocy from both sides are petty juvenile internecine partisan issues. This particular issue is one that has cost over 1,000,000 Iraqis their lives.

[bluestateguy]

15. You really believe that?

Oh, you do? That's so cute.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. Huh.

So are you admitting that you use to support this?

Do you still?

[ikojo]

17. I did not believe Saddam Hussein had

WMDs.

See, back in 1990 I believed Bush's daddy when he said the "Republican Guard" was a powerful army to be feared. My brother was being sent to Iraq and I feared he might be killed over there. Later I found that Bush I had lied only to encourage war fever. By the way, while I believed Bush I about the power of the Republican Guard, I still opposed "operation desert storm" and protested against it.

No, the "entire" country did not believe Hussein had WMD's nor did the "entire" country trust its elected leaders.

Two to three million people across the US knew Bush was lying when they protested the pending war in February 2003.

22. So... Were You Hiding Under The Bed, Or In The Closet ???

And exactly what lines from the U.S. Constitution did you strike???

:wtf:

[eleny]

25. You forgot to add this to your reply...

:sarcasm:

[emilyg]

26. !!!

[Warren Stupidity]

11. Heads here would explode.

How could it have been a mistake when we have been repeatedly assured that it was not an authorization for war?

[msongs]

13. obama votes to support and fund the murder of iraqis. whatta gem nt

[Forkboy]

18. No, because she doesn't see it as one. She doesn't mind the war, just how it's been run.

:shrug:

[sniffa]

19. Of course she won't

If she does she'll lose the primary.

[Mojambo]

20. It would look crass, calculated and more than a little desperate to do it now.

No way it happens

[mtnsnake]

21. Why should she? Her vote wasn't any more a mistake than Kerry's or Edwards' was

Admitting they made a mistake, only after the polls told them that it was politically safe for them to do so, won't bring back the lives of those soldiers who lost them in Iraq.

It wasn't any mistake. Each and every one of them who voted for the IWR knew what they were doing, and that includes Hillary, Kerry, Edwards, Biden,
Dodd, and right down the line. They're all over 18.

It's the same for the people who vote to fund the war, like Obama and Hillary. Sometime in the future, people will probably be asking Hillary and Obama to admit they made a mistake in funding the war to continue it. The time for them to use their heads is when they vote, not after the damage is done.

Obama is the biggest hypocrite of all of them for continously making claims that he's the true anti-war candidate of the bunch, when all he does is vote to enable the war everytime a funding vote comes to the Senate.

Dennis Kucincih is the only one who will never have to feel like he owes anyone an apology.

[Autumn]

23. She doesn't fucking need to. n/t

[Muttocracy]

24. has she ever said Kyl-Lieberman vote was a mistake? nt
