Hillary used all the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld lies to justify her Iraq war vote

[jfern]

intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.

The whole speech was terrible, but that's probably the worst.

She voted against the diplomatic solution, the Levin amendment.

The amendment was designed to rein in the president, who many believed was embarked on an inexorable march to war. The measure required two steps. First, the United Nations would have to pass a resolution explicitly authorizing the use of force against Iraq if it did not permit thorough inspections of its weapons programs. Second, the amendment required the president to return to Congress if his United Nations efforts failed and to secure passage of what Mr. Levin called a “going-it-alone unilateral resolution.”

6. Geez, not that trite, pathetic Hillary fanatic red herring again!

When a war is being fought and American troops are dying, the congress votes to provide them with whatever they need. Is that really too hard for you apologists to understand?

It is one thing to vote to start a war--which Hillary cynically and cravenly did. It is quite another to allocate funds to support the troops fighting that war.
