Lets all keep in mind this was the same intel that bill clinton had. All the democrats said Saddam had to be removed.

Answer 1

Hillary plays both sides of the fence for political reasons. If she meets with the troops, she gives them her support. If she meets with an anti-war crowd, she gives them her support.

The Clintons learned long ago how to lie and are most comfortable with lying. The problem is, I think they have forgotten how to tell the truth.

Answer 2

I think Hillary was lied to as was Congress. And it was Bush doing the lying. Either you know that, as time has proven it, or you think that Bush is such and idiot that he let his own appointees lie to him, in neither case does he come off well.
Do you understand why we need to bring the troops home?
Because they got lied to by Bush also, no returns without a year home, no extensions of time to be served there, and most of all no reserves to send in to replace them, because Bush will not ask for a draft, and, like paying for the war, hes put it off because hes a)stupidly obtuse and thinks he doesn't have to have new troops or money to pay for them or b) Is waiting for his last day to transfer all his unpaid bills and staffing problems to the next President so he won't be called the one who had to raise taxes or bring the troops home.
I'm going for a and b.His avoidance of reality is startling.
Hillary is just one voice among many, some of them Republican, some of them generals with years of experience.
If the media softballs Bush and can't even get in on the conferences Bush has with only the media friendly to him, why should they call Hillary on recognizing whats going on?
They never even call the man actually responsible on the carpet, because hes rolled that carpet up and has them on the doorstep.
Are you deliberately blind, or is praising Bush a part of your cult?
EDIT
What was true in '94 about Saddams weapons and chemical capablility was not true nine years later. Just look at how Cheney didn't want to go into Iraq, because of the quagmire that would result, but nine years later, it was going to be a quick war and we would be greeted as liberators. Remind me not to have Cheney read my fortune anytime soon.

Answer 3

Hillary is not intentionally evil. But she is an elitist. Her type believe that the majority of Americans are stupid and need the elite to take care of them (that's really the whole Democrat stance - "People need MORE government making all the decisions for them.") It is the general difference between Democrats and Republicans - more government vs less government, but Hillary takes it to an extreme.

She believes that she has the right answers for our country, and that it's not important that she share those with us, but simply that she can get into power, and them implement them for us.

There is a degree of that ("Just elect me - I'll do what I think is the right thing to do when the time comes.") on both sides of the isle. And there is SOME need for it too. As a conservative, I don't want my government in ALL my business, but I certainly want them to protect me - and since I don't have to secret clearance, I will NEVER know the information that goes into the decision of whether or not to go to war - so I need a president who I think I agree with on basic principles, and so I hope he (or she) will do what's right with the top secret world information available. The problem with the Hillary and Kerry types is that they won't take a stand anywhere - so we don't get to find out if we agree with them or not on basic principles.

Answer 4

Hillary was lied to as were everyone else. She has found out differently and now has a different opinion based on the new information. People change their minds all the time. Those so pig headed and mule brained to not change their minds upon hearing new information are either stupid or will be in some kind of trouble because of the thick head.

As for whether Hillary could be Commander-In-Chief I believe she could. Opposing a WRONG war and opposing war in general are two different things. I believe she would do whatever is necessary to keep us safe but not attack another sovereign nation that is no threat to us.

If she is saying the war is lost maybe she is right. Since Bush, no one in his Administration or any of his supporters can define win we must presume continued presense of the US forces in their civil war and when their government told us we could leave any time we want tells me we probably should leave win or not. She obviously sees the same thing. Interestingly a majority of Americans also see that.

Answer 5

Hillary is a liar and will say and do anything to get what she wants, it will be a mistake for this country if shes gets elected, and I am from Arkansas.Her and Bill are nothing but liars and scammers, Clinton is the real reason this country is in the state it's in, he did it in Arkansas first and then in Washington.

Answer 6

No, as much as i opt to confirm a girl prez, I won't vote for Hilary because of the fact she's professional-conflict and that i'm not. She's a sell-out to the perfect-wingers. i think of between the justifications she likes to repair the draft is that she have faith which would be honest (to an quantity) because of the fact now in hassle-free terms people who choose money enlist (undesirable human beings combat and die for rich human beings, yet hasn't that usually been the case?) A draft could tension maximum to connect the army regardless of their wealth (supposedly).

Answer 7

The majority voted for the war. The surge has turned into a police action like Vietnam. There is going to be no winner or looser in this deal. Everyone in politics is reneging on what they said in the beginning. Besides, the one with the hardest head and with big ears.

Answer 8

She doesn't care about the war... she just say's anything that goes against President Bush. As long as she takes the opposite opinion, she believes people will only elect her if the current administration is so bad that they have no choice. She should harp on the illegal immagration issue... but then she has to weigh corporate funding against votes, we all know money talks, not votes!

Answer 9

I think that she has her head up her a** concerning the war. If she would just take a stance and stick with it I would commend her. She bounces around, and I personally do not trust someone who on Monday feels this way, Tuesday feels that way, etc. Seriously, stop trying to impress focus groups, and either shut up or come up with a plan and stick with it.

Answer 10

The big (but shrinking!) 3 media will never call Hillary on anything. She has them in her coat pocket. She can flop around on issues like Bill did.
