we can't trust Bush and he is a liar and a criminal and blah, blah, blah because of the invasion of Iraq. Do you also feel the same way about Hillary? In 2001, right before she voted to support the decision to go into Iraq, Hillary gave a speech where she said THE EXACT SAME THINGS that Bush said about why we should go to Iraq. Only now, after the war has become unpopular, does she claim to be against it. So how about it? Do you guys hate Hillary and think she is a liar and a criminal too?

Please don't try to tell me that Bush was the only one with intelligence reports ans how he "tricked" Congress. If anyone believes that, then they don't understand our government AT ALL. Congressmen and Senators, especially those of military related commitees, get to see the same intel reports that the President does. Gimme a break !

Aviator: the difference is.... Bush is not going to change what he believes is a noble and worthy cause just because opinion polls say so. Being a leader of a country does not mean changing your mind every other week just because the Washington Post poll says so. Hillary has CONSISTANTLY changed her views on many issues based on the latest polling. THAT is not a leader.

My point has nothing to do with political affiliation our whether you agree with the war. This is about radical left people who want Bush charged with war crimes and call him a liar, but then say how great Hillary is. It is ridiculous!

Elway:
"Until I see some proof of all the allegations I stand the same place I do with the lies I suspect Bush told. I won't accept conjecture and rumor as fact, I don't believe anyone should."
Do you not see the contradiction in your own statement? You won't think less of the Clintons until you see proof ( even though there is obvious proof that Bill committed purgery) but you will condemn Bush for the lies you "suspect" he told. ????

Hillary leans whichever way the wind is blowing.
The world wanted Saddam gone ,only fools thought it would be a quick in and out.
Even Slick Willey said Saddam had WMD's.

No I do not think she is a liar and a criminal.
The President knowingly presented false intelligence to the Congress, his whole administration has a very obvious you are with us or against us attitude.
Not many people spoke out against authorizing the use of force on Iraq, it was right after September 11, and Bush and Cheney did a masterful job of getting the American people to connect Iraq and 9-11 with double talk. If you deny that you are delusional.
It just boils down to the fact that Bush was the President at the time and Hillary Clinton was not. He was privy to far more information than she was.

I am an anti-Bush person, and also anti-Hillary, so I may not qualify to answer this question. You are absolutely right that she is a liar. I don't know about the criminal part, because I don't know whether she knew, for example, the Joe Wilson came back from Niger and said "there is no attempt by Hussein to buy yellow cake" or not. I don't know what ELSE the Bush administration was privvy to, or made up, that she did not know about.
THat does not excuse her vote. It outraged me at the time, as did every vote for a war that was not in response to an attack, which I believe is the ONLY legally-authorized war, according to the Geneva Conventions.
If Hillary wins the democratic nomination, I will probably go back to voting for the candidate from the Green Party (don't get me started on having wasted my vote for Kerry who wouldn't even defend himself in Ohio...)

She did vote just like every Republican Senators, Democrat senators, and Americans who were duped by Bush's lies.
So I guess we are all liars and criminals too?
Bush's Crime:
1) Taking too much time off / Sleeping on the Job = 9/11 & Katrina.
2) Treason - Revealling a CIA operative name to the press.
3) Corruptions scandals:
A) NO BID contracts for Halliburton
B) Abramov's indictment for corruption = connection to Bush?
Witness Tampering and bribes.
4) He should tried in Military Court for dessertion and Cowardice when he was called for service during Vietnam war, he desert.
5) The Big daddy O of them all, The IRAQ WAR, wheres the WMD? Oh please dont tell me its about freedom for the Iraqis.. thats just collateral.

1) I despise President Bush and think he has betrayed America and its ideals.
2) I despise Hillary Clinton and if she becomes President of the US I will move to Canada.
She is a liar and a criminal. Bush is a liar and a criminal and he has personally done more damage to America and freedom that all terrorists put together for the last 200 years.
I think Bush's foreign policy is kinda dumb but oh well maybe I don't know...his domestic policy is so bad the only word I can think of is treason...making his office all powerful, immune to the other branches of government, immune to law, suspending the public's freedom and right to freedom and privacy...he has in everything but name declared martial law..that to me is not the act of an American President..but a lousy stinking terrorist.
I find it hysterical that "Slick Willy" got impeached ofr a BJ and this President has commited horrible crimes and gets to keep taking more and more power from everyone with a thumbs up.
There will be no election...Lord High Emperor Bush Jr is going to assume absolute power and take over and shoot anyone who opposes him "in the name of freedom and democracy".
The current leader and the current choices for leadership make me wanna puke blood.

people believed they had wmd's.. people were wrong.. would Hillary have voted to go to war if she wouldn't have thought they were there? probably not.. would Bush have tried to find a way in still?? probably. there's nothing wrong with changing your mind when you get new information.. that's called thinking... but Bush has grossly mismanage since the invasion and hasn't been willing to change his agenda at all... just give it new names for the same crap

So, your point is that Hillary is MODERATE, and now is questioning the war, along with Republicans? And that she trusted that GW wouldn't take us to war unless there was a real threat? I admit she should never have trusted him(but, isn't that sad?), but it's very odd to hate someone for being moderate.

Since when is liking Hilary a prerequisite for disagreeing totally with Bush?
You right- and left-wingers see politics along such a one-dimensional spectrum.
That's right. One-dimensional!
Sound like an insult? It's not. Look it up.

What's your point? All politicians are liars! Bush, Hillary, Cheney, Clinton, etc. The real question should be who can we really trust?
