On which talk show did Hillary back up the WH lies about Iraq being a threat?

[redqueen]

I know she backed up the lies about Al Qaeda's ties to Iraq in her IWR speech... but it was on a talk show that she backed up the Saddam is a threat nonsense.

Anyone remember which one it was on? I'd like to find a link / quote, in case anyone has trouble believing it.

Thanks!

1. Not sure of the talk show, but she parroted the WH meme to Code Pink -

Here's the video of her visit with them in 2003 before the bombs fell. They went to her and begged her to speak out against the impending war. What she said is the biggest reason I can't vote for her.

4. Damn... I didn't know about that one.

Or... more likely... I tried to forget. x(

2. Couldn't find a talk show. How about a speech in the US Senate:

3. I think it was a CNN interview with Woodruff

I think I can get a link to a transcript which I have posted before.

I've also posted the above video too. To me that is very damning.

6. If you did you may have been the person who brought it to my attention.

And yes... very damning indeed. We're supposed to trust her, after she chose to trusted Bush & Rice, rather than read the NIE?

8. Here's a link showing Bill do it before and soon after

Wrote an Op-Ed in the London Guardian, saying

"As Blair has said, in war there will be civilian was well as military casualties. ... But if we leave Iraq with chemical and biological weapons, after 12 years of defiance, there is a considerable risk that one day these weapons will fall into the wrong hands and put many more lives at risk than will be lost in overthrowing Saddam."

9. here's where I found the link

http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/11/bill_clinton_opposed_iraq_from.php

and the transcript from CNN's "Inside Politics" on 27 Feb 2003

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0302/27/ip.00.html

"Our conversation on that subject is coming up just a little later this hour. First, though, their thoughts on a potential war with Iraq. I started by asking Senator Clinton if she agrees with President Bush that Iraq has been given every chance to disarm, and that we're just weeks away from war.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CLINTON: Well, I think that's the unfortunate conclusion that one has to draw from any objective reading of the evidence, not just in the last months, but going back more than a dozen years now. So I think that the president's made the right decision to go back to the United Nations. I always believe if you can have a larger group of people behind you, not only for the military action, where we don't really need their help, but for what comes after, that's preferable.

But I also believe that at some point, this has been in Saddam Hussein's hands from the very beginning. He signed agreements that he has failed to keep, and even now has refused to cooperate with the inspectors. "

...

"CLINTON: Well, we'll have to have a continuing conversation about this, because I did support the president. And I did so based on, you know, my assessment of what kind of potential threat Saddam Hussein did represent and the need, frankly, for the world community to accept responsibility. But I do believe that caution is in order right now with respect to the fiscal condition of our government, and the cost that we're going to be incurring and the unintended consequences. "

11. Maybe that was it.

Thanks.

*sigh*

[redqueen]

14. Actually that wasn't it.

I think this was in 2005... IIRC.

I'll keep looking... thanks though. Every bit helps.

7. Kick in case someone else might have a link...

:kick:

[redqueen]

12. One more self kick...

cause really...

:wtf:

[whatchamacallit]

13. Kick cuz I'm sure it's out there somewhere and should be found

"He signed agreements that he has failed to keep, and even now has refused to cooperate with the inspectors"

This quote from the Atlantic interview would indicate she's either spreading the administration's propaganda, or she's a complete Cool Aid swiller.

[redqueen]

15. See what I mean?

*sigh*

[whatchamacallit]

17. Yeah, it would appear GD:P is where people come to fight and flame

Good on you for trying anyway:D

[redqueen]

18. My pleasure!

Sincerely.

[redqueen]
