Why did I fall for that?

[reddread]

I was just thinking about how Hillary backed GW in his Iraq mission,

as opposed to some cooler heads

later suggesting she had been fooled, that it was a mistake?

interesting discussion

what I cant understand is how Bill Clinton let Hillary be fooled?
Short of the sitting, STOLEN administration, Bill Clinton had some pretty
good intelligence.
I can only assume he knew this was going to happen, and of course,
9-11 and/or any other scurrilous charges were not important or relevant to the mission.

I wish we had a real handle on our foreign policy and a real vote to change the world.
I wish Hillary hadnt made a mistake, and I would like to know why.

4. Since that precludes you from supporting candidates, I assume Jill Stein has your support?

You have suddenly become more interesting, then.

6. Or maybe they're not a myopic, one issue voter?

And are able to process nuance? And don't see the world in black and white?

Most thinking people don't. I find those who are more gullible tend to favor populism.

8. Nuance? That reply from that poster?

Which you're in turn posting with a straight face?

2. She wasn't fooled. She just made a political calculation.

1. When the voting is over the primary is over on DU.

This has gone on long enough. Once the voting is done I have no interest in pretending everyone doesn't already know the outcome.

My opinion is that Donald Trump represents an unprecedented threat to this country, and I have no interest in providing a platform for people to act like a Trump presidency isn't such a big deal. I have permitted it during primary season because many people seem determined to pretend we live in a fantasyland where Republicans don't exist -- but once the primary is over reality sets in and we can no longer afford to ignore our Republican opponent.

Might as well add the fact that the sitting vice president and Secretary of State voted for the IWR yet they get a pass... Is it because they have an outie and not an innie?

How much thought have you given to Sanders voting to fund the war?

13. Why don't you folks view her speech on the Senate floor re her vote on the

Iraq war? It was very difficult at the time, not a rush to war, but a reasoned decision...and she was by far not the only Dem to voter for this with the same reservations. Did anyone of you criticize Kerry or Biden for their votes?
