Hillary used a stupid Republican talking point: Iraq vote didn't cause terrorism because....

[Spitfire of ATJ]

Terrorism existed before her vote.

Including 9/11.

Go on. Just TRY and claim that terrorism didn't exist until we invaded Iraq.

I dare you.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Where did al-Qaeda start, could it have been before 9/11? Sure they existed before 9/11,

Lets get real here, they did not run out on 9/11, take a flight and seize the planes and accidently fly into the Twin Towers. Now I don't know where they started but the talking point terrorists groups started after the invasion of Iraq is not reasonable.

3. That's why nobody makes it.

4. Bin Laden released his Fatwa in 1997

Just before the invasion, Bush fulfilled the main demand, US troops out of Saudi Arabia, thus placating Al Qaeda.

5. Guess you could say Charlie Wilson started them.

2. Pretty good answer wasn't it? lol.

8. I'm already seeing Hillary supporters echoing it....

6. But al Quaeda was not in Iraq before the invasion, and the invasion undoubtedly

served to radicalize many who saw their homes and their loved ones destroyed.

7. This ^

At some point, we (the United States and Britain) are going to have to admit that we were a factor in the shit that is going on now. We invaded a country that had NOTHING to do with 9/11 - what the hell did we think was going to happen? Oh yeah - flowers and candy, I forgot...

9. She's in the wrong party.

She should be debating Trump and Cruz and trying to out right wing them instead of O'Malley and Sanders.

She said she tried to join the Marine Corps in 1975.
She is such a lying piece of trash, it isn't even funny.
She will say whatever it takes to become the President.
She is psychotic that way.

12. She's a communist compared to Trump and Cruz.

Carson's psychotic, none of our candidates are.

[Major Hogwash]

13. She's copesetic with Trump on war.

She is a warmonger!
Just as much as Trump or Cruz.

10. Of course, nobody claims the Iraq vote caused terrorism.

So she can say that all she wants.

11. Bush did....

Probably where she got it.

14. There was just a small group of insurrectionists present who asked to join al-Qaeda

before the US invaded Iraq, but they were turned down. Once the invasion happened, and Bush* dismissed the entire Iraqi military, depriving them of their way of earning a living, guess where they went? After joining that group, it became much more active and extremely brutal. I have read that this is where and how ISIS was born, but there might be other varying opinions on that.

15. But..WAIT!...she's said to be very experienced at foreign relations!

See IWR vote and Honduras for how well her "experience" serves the cause of peace or justice.

16. I'm sure her comments play great at a DC cocktail party.
