1. Funny how the hundreds of thousands who marched knew better.
Golly ... if she'd only read the NIE ... or just listened to the People instead of the lobbyists!

2. I disagree (to an extent)
I believe that Congress was only entitled to the intel that W wanted them to see. I don't think that excuses them, though. Besides, only one person voted against the war, so we should be holding many more law makers accountable.

4. She knew who the Bush's were. And who the member's of the cabinet were
and the Vice President. C'mon.....I'm not a Hillary basher, but I'm not buying that she didn't know who she was dealing with and what they would do with that kind of power. If she was foolish enough NOT to know (which I don't believe) then maybe she's too foolish to be the Prez.

It is the only issue that concerns me about her, I cannot reconcile it.

6. She also know that they had WMD's because the US gave them
to Saddam. She did not know they no longer had them..Bush left that out of the info that was shared with them.

10. We had UN inspectors ready to finish up
why didn't she say "hay we can wait two days, the UN inspectors will tell us whats up" I mean its not like saddam was being aggressive or anything. He didn't threaten. One day the war started, we started it. If we didn't cross the line no one would have died. Hillary voted, she voted knowing bush wanted this war, she voted knowing that their was absolutely no proof at all, she knew that everything colin powell had was guesses and theories. She knew that in a couple days that their was going to be proof saddam did not have weapons.

11. There had to be something else
How else can you explain all the legislators voting for the war except for one? If reasonable people could see that this was not right, how can our leaders go against that? And, I'm not only going to hold Hillary responsible. There were hundreds of other people that voted the way she did, so you're wrong if you single her out.

3. It is hard to believe that I knew Iraq didn't have WMD, yet
our nations leaders didn't know! Do they NEVER read anything besides what their paid lackeys tell them?

Pathetic.

7. I didn't know that they didn't have them but I felt the inspectors
should have been allowed to continue. There was no need for a pre-emp. war.
