Voting for Iraq War w/out reading National Intelligence Estimate should disqualify Clinton

Rocky Anderson weighs in on Clinton's qualifications for the presidency. Once again, it's worth noting Clinton's experience in making bad decisions does not somehow magically outweigh Sanders' good judgment. Chris Matthews argued the other night we don't talk about Iraq anymore because it was a disaster. Given Clinton's role in carrying water for the Bush administration on the war and her hawkish positions since, we need to remind voters it was a disaster that would not have taken place if Bernie had been president.

The NY Times, whose reporter Judith Miller pushed the lies that led to the illegal, disastrous war of aggression against Iraq, has endorsed former Senator Hillary Clinton, who voted to give Bush the authority to make war against Iraq without even reading the available National Intelligence Estimate disclosing major disagreements within the intelligence community regarding the lies "justifying" the war pushed by Bush and Clinton. That alone should disqualify Clinton from being President, yet the Times persists.
