Does Hillary Clinton's vote before the war make her as responsible as Bush for what's happening now in Iraq?

Question

For people defending Hillary and others.Is Howard Dean some sort of genius,that he saw what no one else saw?
He was against it from the beginning.How did he knoiw the intelligence was weak and shouldn't that tell you others also had oprtunity to know but looked away?

Answer 1

Not Hillary, nor any congressional member that voted for the war based on the intelligence they were shown is responsible for what is happening in Iraq NOW.

1. Howard Dean did NOT see the intelligence. Howard Dean was a governor NOT a Washington politician. He did NOT have access to the intelligence given to congress.

2. Even if the intelligence were true, and it wasn't, Rumsfeld has OPENLY admitted he should have sent in more troops... ANSWER = the BUSH ADMINISTRATION is responsible for the complete mess in Iraq right now.

3. The hearings on just how PURPOSELY manipulated that intelligence was are about to begin. I've heard some of what is about to come out over the telephone and am actually going to Washington next week to discuss some of it. The Republicans are already saying, "That doesn't matter now... Why are we talking about that...." They don't want the truth to come out. Where is that concept of accountability....

Answer 2

Yes. She was an insider that knew exactly what kind of people she was dealing with so her mea culpa rings pretty hollow. I knew there was no link between bin-Laden and Hussein. I knew there were no WMDs. I knew there was dissent within the Energy and State Departments about the threat. I knew the IAEA and the UN weapons inspectors were finding nothing. If I knew that why didn't she look a little deeper?

She went along because Daschle convinced Democrats that if they didn't go along with Bush they would be accused of being "soft" on terrorism. She thought it was gonna be a cakewalk. She wanted to talk about the economy because bush appeared weak there.

She has not called for impeachment, cutting off the funding or a rescinding of the original Resolution. She is typically trying to have it both ways.

Answer 3

Hillary stated on more than occasion, that Saddam/Iraq were a danger to the stability of the region long before President Bush ever took office! Matter of fact it was Sept 1998 where she said that she had done the research on the topic and Saddam's WMD programs and said that he and the WMDs Saddam possed were a clear danger.
So to all the "Bush Bashers" claiming he lied and mis-led Congress and Senate, how do you explain all the comments of both Reps and Dems saying Iraq/Saddam had WMDs and was a danger BEFORE President Bush took office after the 2000 election? Hmmmmm? We're waiting for a answer Bush Haters

Answer 4

The Iranian militia incorporates contributors of terrorists businesses from their previous. This stupid decision, is basically yet another understatement of the glaring. Hillary is basically recognizing that, would not advise some thing and she is basically CYA, in case that Iran provokes any u . s .. the reality that terrorists at the instantaneous are "infantrymen" of a authentic military, would supply the excuse for united states's intervention. vote casting hostile to, will be a lot more beneficial damaging to her marketing campaign, because the united states's inhabitants are already all "paranoid" about this new "boogie guy" Ahmed...regardless of his unpronounceable call is

Answer 5

Of course. Every single senator and congressman who voted in favor of the war is responsible. I happen to support their vote, even though there have been problems. Hillary said at the time of the vote, that it was time to take action, because the intel provided to Congress was well known even to the Clintons, that it was nothing new, and that it was the very same intel that Clinton relied upon every time he bombed Iraq. With that in mind, a vote in favor was correct. There are a lot of problems today, but now we need to be there to prevent a further mess that could spill out of the borders. But yes, they are all responsible.

Answer 6

Hillary is a great Monday morning Quarterback who more closely resembles a hunchback. She can be taught more phrases than an African Gray Parrot. If she flops in the race in 2008, the Cathedral of Notre Dame has offered her a bell ringing job.

Answer 7

Yes it does, she was given the same information as Bush was and came to the same conclusion that he did. And she can criticze Bush all she wants but what is her plan?

Answer 8

Yes. All of the senators and reps that voted for the war but now say, "I told you so..." are hypocrites...Their opinion change is based on polls.

Answer 9

Yes it does. Doesn't matter how anyone tries to turn and twist it, or undo it it's been done and it's now a fact.

Answer 10

Absolutely not, she was fed the same flawed intelligence that all of congress got from guess who. Bush and his corrupt administration are the sole bearers of this cross.
