Why does Hillary and the far left blame Bush for the war in Iraq when Hillary herself voted FOR the war?

Question

Is that how she works she just changes her agenda to fit the needs of her career?

Answer 1

If she didn't go with the flow she would be unpopular for not defending the homeland

Answer 2

Sigh... Why oh why don't people pay attention. For about the 400th time, Hillary is complaining about the MISMANAGEMENT of this war. She is righteously po'd because Bush didn't meet the criteria set out by the resolution she voted yea on, and then he sends our soldiers there ill equipped and without a plan for the peace or the inevitable aftermath. Since then his incompetence in waging this war has become legendary. The result has been chaos and a mess in the Middle East in general that the next President will have spend all of their first term trying to clean up.

Also, another thing that should catch your attention is that it isn't only the far left and Hillary that are unhappy with this war. It's over 70% of our population. Did they all magically turn into far left liberals when we weren't looking? And the majority of them trusted their President just as Sen. Clinton did. One thing I'm happy about? She learns from her mistakes, a rare gift in a politician.

I'm tired of rehashing who voted for this fricking war and who didn't. Our problem now is how to deal with this fiasco that Bush has created. I understand why Sen. Clinton voted yea on that resolution. I believed my President too when he told me that the yellow cake intel was solid in his 2003 SOTU Address. I bought it, and so did most people. Then we all found out he'd been told not once, but twice, by our intelligence people that it was bogus, way before that SOTU Address. I thought I'd learned not to trust any President after Nixon and Watergate, but I got soft. That'll never happen again.

Answer 3

definite, yet you need to assert that the vote change into in simple terms for political motives. Clinton fairly, quite would not understand all that would bypass incorrect with a protection stress operation like the invasion of Iraq. a minimum of she did not understand those issues then. She theory "Gulf conflict" and that it may be an uncomplicated we are in, wer're out and he or she likely figured she'd be bashed without mercy by the Republicans, who already hate her guts, if she voted adverse to it, or maybe wondered it. i ought to assert this: It change right into a vote that she forged depending in simple terms upon political calculation. a real chief, a real statesman (or in case you'll, stateswoman) ought to have requested alot more suitable questions, or a minimum of were far more suitable skeptical instead of accepting each and everything Bush stated at face cost. So, it change into naive because the conflict went badly, if it hadn't lengthy gone badly, she'd have the benefit over Obama in this difficulty. Clinton's in a foul position now because of it, she will be in a position to't admit she change into incorrect, and he or she will be in a position to't preserve her lack of administration on the problem, so she supplies the finest, maximum "elementary" inventory answer she will be in a position to, and tries to lessen the flair political damage.

Answer 4

Leonardo, can you really still be trying to sell this old horse after all these years? No one voted FOR the war. The vote was to give Bush the power to deal with Saddam with the very last choice being war. They gave him a gun and he shot himself in the foot. Furthermore, Congress was not given the same information that the White House had.

If you don't know this by now, I have to wonder if you have remained intentionally ignorant of the facts because they are extremely easy to find.

Answer 5

Two things.

Bush and his gang are responsible for the war in Iraq. They were the ones that utilized false reports on WMDs and all but made up connections to the terrorists that attacked the US on 9/11. He is the President and the preverbial buck stops with him. It was his decision to go to war...not Hillary's.

That being said, Hillary is not a moral person. She votes by what is popular and what will help her political career, not by what is right.

America has a real need for a good leader, its unfortunate that there aren't any on the horizon.

Neither side has clean hands on this war.

Answer 6

the FAR left rejects both the democrats and republicans as basically the same. Hillary takes just as much corporate money as anyone else. Democrats might even be worse. At least republicans are honest about their greed. Democrats let this happen but Republicans made it happen. two sides of the same coin.

Answer 7

When she voted for the war, we weren't yet aware that all of their facts about reasons to go to war were complete fabrications.

Anyone who voted for the war under the assumption that Bush and his administration were being completely truthful and disclosing everything they knew now has the right to a) withdraw their support or b) be incredibly pissed off about being lied to. Or of course c) continue to pretend that nothing wrong or illegal or generally unbecoming of a representative body of one of the greatest countries in the world happened.

They lied to us. They lied to all of us. No matter which way you want to skew it...whether you are for Bush or against him, for the war or against the war...they lied to our faces and we believed it because we are supposed to trust in them.

How does it feel for you? I'm still pissed off.

Answer 8

Voting for military action is not the same as agreeing to the way in which that action is actually executed.

Answer 9

Maybe because Bush was not a man of his word!He stated he would use every avenue possible diplomatically before actually using force against Iraq.He ordered out the UN weapons inspectors before they could complete their inspections!

Answer 10

Most are like that. Notice I said most. They are by nature fence sitters and could not make up their mind to save their life. The biggest group of Charlie Browns I have ever seen in my entire life!

Answer 11

It really depends on what crowd she is talking to. She doesn't always blame Bush.
