Answer 1

If logic were in place, no they would not. But nothing defies logic better than a slick campaign nod or when media matters in the right places.
In debates and numerous statements the candidate has said, we need to leave slowly and protect our interests, including the new Embassy & the Kurds. The physical movement of personal & equipment shall take some time. Then we heard... end the war. Then not until what 2013? It depends on the event. The fluxuation of an individual who is obviously un clear what their stand is ALONE is enough to vote elsewhere. Read up on how convinced she and hubby were here about WMD and the war in Iraq... thank you

* during an election season, one in which Democrats wish to over take the White House ... expect this kind of behaviour. It's politics as usual.

Answer 2

One can vote for Hillary in spite of her original support for the war because candidates like Obama and Kucinich who were opposed to the war from the beginning might not be able to garner enough support to win a general election.

Many Americans have changed their position on the Iraq war as more facts have been revealed that we and Hillary could not possibly have known.

Answer 3

Many leading Democrats saw that same intel and urged the president to remove Saddam & his WMDs, only to begin back-peddling furiously when recognizable WMDs weren't found within a few days of the invasion.

Most of them have been braying "I told you so" rhetoric ever since, trying to pretend they were against the war from the start. The Loony Left, ever plagued with selective memory loss and their blind "Get Bush!" mentality, are all over that little bandwagon.

Hillary's somewhat vague understanding of the need to keep a military force in Iraq is the only thing she's got going for her. Other than that, she's a liar, cheat, bigot, and completely inadequate for the role of president.

Answer 4

Hillary supports this war and wants to continue for the next 5 years.

Someone is against the war they need to elect someone like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich

Answer 5

convinced, yet you should claim that the vote changed into in undemanding words for political motives. Clinton extremely, somewhat doesn't recognize all that ought to flow incorrect with a protection force operation like the invasion of Iraq. a minimum of she did not recognize those issues then. She theory "Gulf conflict" and that it will be an elementary we are in, wer're out and she or he probable figured she'd be bashed without mercy through the Republicans, who already hate her guts, if she voted hostile to it, or perhaps wondered it. i ought to say this: It turned right into a vote that she solid depending in undemanding words upon political calculation. a real chief, a real statesman (or in case you'll, stateswoman) ought to have requested alot extra questions, or a minimum of were far extra skeptical instead of accepting each and everything Bush said at face value. So, it changed into naive because the conflict went badly, if it hadn't gone badly, she'd have the ease over Obama in this challenge. Clinton's in a foul position now because of it, she will't admit she changed into incorrect, and she or he will't guard her lack of administration on the challenge, so she supplies the least confusing, maximum "elementary" inventory answer she will, and tries to reduce the capacity political harm.

Answer 6

There 's no moral high ground wherr wars are concerned. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. And Hilary knows full well that there's no hasty pulling out of this one. It's for the long haul. As least she isn't letting people believe the democrats will pull out of Iraq if elected to the White House. Give her credit for that.

Answer 7

The difference is that the president and his cronies KNEW that the intelligence was flawed. They ONLY utilized SUPPORTING evidence when they were trying to convince the people that this war was a 'good' war, and they disposed of any and all intelligence that ran counter to this message. That's already been shown in bilateral investigations. So if your only case against Hillary's support of the war is that she was successfully deceived by professional liars, that's not really impressive.

I'm not voting for her because I dislike her and distrust her. But her 'support' for this 'illegal and immoral war' is not a valid reason to condemn her.

Answer 8

i think, personally, that it's illegal and immoral. however, we got ourselves in there with a lot of public support, and we can't exactly just leave them like that or they'll get into a civil war.

i'm voting for Hillary because i'm not holding her decision against her. she had to go with what the people wanted and the intel said.

i was against it from before we went in, but i remember being in the minority and people telling me i was unpatriotic. i think our lawmakers had to go with what the people wanted. that's why they're in office- to represent us. even if i personally didn't and don't agree with the war, it's necessary at this point.

i just wish they'd save some money here and there.

Answer 9

That's not exactly what she said. You can read what she said in reference to the Iraq War Resolution.

"A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him - use these powers wisely and as a last resort."

Well, you know how that turned out.

Answer 10

I would prefer a better dem like Kucinich but no way will a vote for another repuke except maybe Paul
