Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Wasn't the Iraq war a "regime change war"?
She obviously supported that war, because she enlisted to fight in it. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11, and was not a source of Islamic fundamentalism or terrorists. Why do Tulsi supporters let her get away with that hypocricy?

(26,366 posts)3. From her interview with Rolling Stone...
On her experiences in her first deployment in Iraq with a field medical unit of the Hawaii National Guard, and how they started to change her mind about the war:
We were lied to, and we were betrayed . This really wasnt about going after Al-Qaeda. This wasnt about fulfilling that mission of protecting the American people at all. It was a regime change war that was launched under the guise of national security, under the guise of humanitarianism, and, Look at all these atrocities that this brutal dictator has done to his own people, and done really for the benefit of corporate interests and oil.
