Within 18 seconds in this video Hillary admits that under Bill's rein (for the last decade) they led the nation towards this war.

It was their "intelligence" that produced the war. After they downsized the CIA and military to "balance the budget".

What exactly are you claiming she flip flopped about. She isn't claiming she made that decision with her husband in some weird co-Presidency. Bush didn't use Clinton's intelligence to push this war. And when it comes to 9/11 Bush chose to ignore the warnings he got from Clinton about bin Laden. The intelligence he manipulated to make his case for Iraq didn't come from Clinton, nor did the extremely bad decisions he made come from Clinton, or his incompetence in waging war. It wasn't Clinton's fault that he chose to ignore the stipulations set out in the resolution, and it wasn't Clinton's fault that he sent our troops over there underequipped and without an exit plan or a plan for the peace. He should have actually learned from Clinton, and noticed that Clinton's policy of containment was working quite well. Of course both Bill and Hillary thought Iraq was up to no good. But the difference is that Bill didn't attack, he chose a different route. And it must have burned Bush's butt to find out that containment had actually been working.
Hillary signed on to that resolution trusting her President, and trusting the intelligence that he insisted proved that Iraq was an imminent threat. She started bitching about the war when Bush proved to be an incompetent Commander in Chief. I still think that deep down she thinks it could have been a good thing to do had it been handled better, which I'm not sure I agree with. But nonetheless, she hasn't flip flopped about anything. She rightly changed her mind about this war, just like 70% of the rest of us, as she should have once she found out the real deal and found out what a chaotic mess Bush had created over there. Would it have been better for her to just ignore reality and insist on "staying the course" like Bush? Please. She has been consistent about what she plans to do about Iraq. No matter how hard John Edwards tries to separate her statement about withdrawal in tandem with leaving residual troops behind, the truth is that they are part of the same parcel, and she hasn't wavered on that ONE time.
Honestly, you guys need to get some new material.

The Clintons operate on the all too true premise that American voters are stupid. She will flip and flop as often as she possibly can to convince the group of the day to be stupid and vote for her.

She will flip flop all the way to the White House, but so will Romney.

This is a rhetorical question.

Isn't nice to see her Presidential campaign spiraling out of control? The crashing and burning part should come soon! I think at this point, she doesn't know what she is saying, but just rambling on.

She takes all sides and at the same time no sides of any issue. She cannot tell America what she believes. SHe cannot get elected with the truth.

I am just waiting for her to say that she really isn't Hillary Clinton and try and disassociate herself with that bad name.
