True or false: President Bush got Congressional approval for the war in Iraq. How did Ms. Clinton vote on that

Answer 1

True, and despite what she says now, she voted for it.

Answer 2

The wars under Bush were legal. voted for by both Liberals and Conservatives. the Liberals Just don't anyone to know it and try to act like they did not want those wars. However, you can't deny what is now a part of History and on the Record. The war that Obama did not get the vote for , was by Presidentail decree. this is only suppose to be used in case of a crisis, and it is very debateable if the crisis he sites was a valid one. By the way he has passed 77 Presidential decrees since he has been in office. way MORE then any other President!

Answer 3

FALSE! Bush never got an approval for War... There was NEVER a Declaration of War, which only Congress can make. However, he did get approval to use force... because he lied to all of us... He stated there were WMD in Iraq. Well, we never found them, because there weren't any. At that time MOST Senators voted to go to Iraq, and MOST citizens agreed. However, as the War progressed with NO WMD's, and NO Bin Laden, we realized the lies Bush had spewed forth to all of us.

Bush got us into an Illegal War. He has continued to jeopardize our safetey with open borders. The man is America's worse enemy!

Does Bush even KNOW why he invaded Iraq? At first, it was WMD's, then something about a war on terrorism(yeah, right, with open borders? )::

Remember, we went to Iraq because of WMD's....? (and there's oil, there)


Bush: “And our mission is clear there, as well, and that is to train the Iraqis so they can do the fighting; make sure they can stand up to defend their freedoms, which they want to do.” [6/2/05]

"NOW, COMPLETION OF THE MISSION IS FAR FROM CLEAR:

Bush: “We’re making progress toward the goal, which is, on the one hand, a political process moving forward in Iraq, and on the other hand, the Iraqis capable of defending themselves And we will — we will complete this mission for the sake of world peace.” [6/20/05]


Does he say World Peace??????

Answer 4

Although Congress (Republican controlled) voted approval for the war and Ms. Clinton was among those who voted for it. Things change. Those who think that people are not allowed to change their opinion in light of new facts or information of some sort are people who may well argue that the world is flat but only after they emerge from their caves. The world is a dynamic place. Things are constantly changing. As things change and new information comes to light people often change their opinions about things. I dare anyone to tell me they have never ever changed their mind about anything once new facts or information came out about the subject. If they don't than they are stupid, blind, or so stubborn that they will eventually be seen for the fool they are.

So, yes she voted with the majority of Congress but in light of additional infomation she had decided to change her mind. Seems like the intellegnt thing to do.

Answer 5

False. The president received congressional approval to use the means necessary to resolve the conflict in Iraq, with war being the last resort. Hillary Clinton voted for the resolution.

Answer 6

Based on the lies that Mr. Bush told her and the rest of the Nation she voted to support the president. I think she did the right thing base on the misinformation she received. I believe that if Congress knew the truth of the matter at the time they voted the Democrats would have voted against the presidents plan.

Answer 7

True or False: The whole country, including congress, got duped to vote for the war based on fabricated intelligence?

Answer 8

Congressional approval was given AFTER troops were deployed...in Afghanistan and Iraq...> FACT.

And yes, foolishly, Hillary voted for it.

Answer 9

Bush got approval to invade Iraq because he told Congress Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons and he was going to use them on the American people. And yes, Ms Clinton voted the way the Republican majority in Congress voted, to do otherwise would have been attacked as "soft on terrorism", "aiding al Qaida", besides, the Republican majority was going to pass the Invasion resolution regardless of what Dems in Congress did, it was much better to show bi-partisan solidarity, than to be a wasted "No" vote. Barack Obama voted against the invasion and has been crucified for it.

If a burglar knocks on your door, tells you he's from Western Union and you open the door, is it your fault the crook lied to you and ransacked your home?

Is it standard Republican SOP to blame the victim for letting the criminal commit his crime?

Answer 10

True - Bush got Congress approval.
Hillary voted yes on that approval.
But I would also consider the fact that Congress was given cooked and inaccurate data concerning Iraq and Saddam and I think the Bush administration knew it was bad info.

Answer 11

Yes, he had authorization.
Not only did Hillary vote FOR it, she also stated that she and Bill had KNOWN this would have to be done... they KNEW that Saddam had WMDs and that he was working on a nuclear program... and now, conveniently, she's forgotten all that and says he lied to her.
Too bad it's all on tape. (too bad for HER, that is)

I won't even address Bert T's misinformation... since it's the same old rhetoric.

Clamback, you have to be either kidding or you have to be completely deluded! Where is your evidence of 'falsified intelligence'? You have none... because it wasn't. If he had wanted to lie, he could have also had WMDs planted to be 'found' when the US went in... but he didn't. Saddam had already sent them all to Syria since we ANNOUNCED our invasion in advance... and those later turned up in Hezbollah hands and at a plant raided by Israel last month.
Hmm... I take it you didn't research this... just spouted an angry rant of Bush Derangement Syndrome?
