...destabilizing the Middle East first, then coming back for seconds a decade latter to destabilize Libya are the 2 biggest foreign affairs blunders in US history. Pappy Bush warned removing Saddam was a really, really bad idea!

How Hillary is winning the foreign affairs debate is mind boggling. She made the 2 worst decisions in US history!

All shits and giggles for Hillary.

By the time the heinous "Shock and Awe" attack was launched, there might have been 2 of us supporting that atrocity.

What I'll never forget, though, was Hillary dodging and weaving through her speech, so no one could tell what the hell she was doing until the very end. A bunch of us were live blogging the "debate" and all of us expected her to vote against invading Iraq. When she didn't, it took some of the blinders off for me. Up to that moment, I had totally believed that the brilliant former first lady and now Senator, would do the right thing.
