This is a reflection of how she views the world in general. Look at her efforts to exonerate the American people of personal responsibility! You can't make more than minimum wage? It's not your fault, we will raise the minimum wage for you! You don't have the resources to have health insurance, that is not your fault either - Socialized medicine is the obvious answer!
It is not surprising at all that she is not willing to take responsibility for her actions / in-actions - she doesn't think that it is a requirement for a productive citizen!

War itself, always belongs to the whole of the people, as we each endure the repercussions. A war is waged by a set of percentages of the population...those who agree and those who do not. However, there lies a sole responsibility with those in positions of power that sign its endorsement. Regardless of the 'weight' of this responsibility, or who did this and who did that, therein lies a responsibility to each. This responsibility does not waiver. If we sign a check, believing the check to be good, and later find out that the check is fraudulent, we still bear a certain responsibility because of our endorsement. We SIGNED the check. With such an incident on our record, it wouldn't exactly fair well should we decide to fill out a resume for manager of a bank after this, now would it? The fact is, that you cannot tell the tale that it never happened or ask that it please be disregarded. The fact is that it happened. It IS on your record, and it is not morally acceptable to apply for such position. You are both legally and morally indebted because of your endorsement. Endorsements do not waiver. From this, there is no escape. Period. For those who are willing to endorse such a candidate as Mrs. Clinton and honor that, which has proven itself to be dishonorable, it is not morally acceptable to those of us who have morals. We understand what it means to bow out graciously when we are wrong. We don't sign checks that we know are bad. Hillary needs to step down. Period.

In 2002 Hillary said:
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members...
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Senator Hillary Clinton (Democrat, New York)
Addressing the US Senate

The other 99 are not all ( a few are) running for president so what FascFiter said is besides the point.

No I would have to say I do not agree.
Hillary Clinton, like every other Senator, made her decision based on the information she was given at the time. The information had been massaged and sculpted by the White House to produce EXACTLY the reaction from Congress it got, namely, unquestioning support. You may ALSO remember this all happened while Democrats were in the minority in Congress, bipartisanship was a long ago dream, Republicans in office were saying, "we're on top";"it's our way or the highway", "if you're not with us, you're against us", etc.; the invasion was going to happen, even if every Democrat in Congress abstained from the vote, why do that, only to show the world a divided America? Why do that, and be branded a coward and anti-American or a Commie or soft on terrorism by your own tolerant Christian neighbors in Congress (the ones NOT sending dirty Emails to underage boys that is)?
You dont blame Bush for the con job he did, but you DO blame the minority Dems for getting conned? Do you also blame the rape victim for being brutalized? is that what "Compassionate Conservatism" is?
When the evidence of Bush's malfeasance became overwhelming, EVERY Congressman, Dem and Rep alike, did what they could to minimize the damage to their reputations. And again, you blame Hillary Clinton for this, but no one else. This is just further evidence of Republican hypocracy.
Of course it isn't Hillary Clinton's War. And if George W. Bush had listened to her HUSBAND'S WARNINGS ABOUT AL-QAEDA, it wouldn't be George W. Bush's war either. Oh that's right he was too busy chopping wood in Crawford, Texas, for almost half the 10 months leading up to Sept 11.
Republicans blame Bill Clinton for the WTC attack, although it occurred 10 MONTHS into Dubya's Presidency. But they do not blame George H. W. Bush for the FIRST attack on the WTC, although THAT attack occurred 38 DAYS after Clinton took office. Do you see the hypocracy yet? These are not just feelings, this is hard verifiable data .
Do you understand yet why you were voted out so decisively in November?

Unfortunately Hillary is caught in the middle. When the war was first proposed she needed to look tough to racket up being the first women president she could make the tough decisions to go to war but since the party she is in has warped speed to the left she now has to come up with a way of not supporting the war so she calls it Bush's war. No war that I know of in US history should be linked to one president as the Congress of the time always has a funding vote.

SOme Democrats I know active in politics, won't support here, because they know Hillary support the war to disgrace Bush. She wants to drag it out so the Republican would lose votes. She stated she is against the war, but only pull the troops a year and a half after she won the election.

Great rant but still is not her war. She doesn't control any of its actions or strategies and just so you know she didn't vote to fund it this last time. She gave the President power to go to war if all else failed and that took him 5 weeks to come to the terms of war. I would rather have her deciding that it is no longer a good plan and that we should get out of the war than to vote anyone that would support the war. I can't say that I plan to vote for her because I really do not, but she hands down right now is better than any Republican candidate other than Ron Paul. If you felt this strong about her actions I sure do hope you didn't cast a vote for GWB because he was a complete blunder prior and still is.

Whoa, Hillary didn't SIGN anything. Congress doesn't sign it is the president who signs. She voted for the war based on false information. She knows that and admits to it. What I don't understand is that why her vote is constantly being thrown in her face. Even though it has been explained a million times some people pounce on that vote as an excuse to berate her or attack her. Let those who have never made a decision based on false information be the first to cast stones. If that were the rule you and all the others would drop their stones and go home. Please do that now. Drop the stone and step back. Do an abrupt about face and go home. Have a nice warm cup of tea and relax.

All those people signed the bill yes and it's cool cause the mission was accomplished in 03. Isn't that why the signed the bill to accomplish the mission. Now we are in Iraq policing a civil war and after trying to convince da chimpster to withdraw, they decided not to sign the bill giving another 100 billion to squander away.
lol @ scarlet. Unfortunately da chimpster was the one to give her that information.
