5. I think that's been well established that he did
It's only been posted about a brazillion times by some DUers. Oh, and you.

It sickens me that he continuously votes to give the troops in a fucked up war body armor. :puke:

4. not so much to appear tough
but to avoid making a wrong bet like many dems did on Desert Storm. But she should have realized the real differences between them, and the simliarities between THIS iraq war and the vietnam war and korea

6. I would vote "yes"
but I will not speculate on the reasons why.

It is clear that congress voted to give Bush the authority to attack Iraq. In the book "Hubris," the authors (Isikoff and Corn) tell about attempts by some -- including Joe Biden -- to slow the process down. I think that anyone who was not making the conscious choice to grant Bush the authority to invade Iraq would have voted differently than did Senator Clinton.

7. charts and graphs, FTW

9. If you respect Hillary, you have to vote "yes"...
...otherwise you are basically saying that she is a fool who doesn't fully comprehend the votes she is casting.

So, I was kind and voted "Yes because she had to look tough".

10. Obviously she thought that the very same people she labled a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
Only had the best of intentions. Even though they wrote a letter to her husband in 1998 asking him to invade Iraq too.

I guess she thought they were only going to bake some cookies and send them over to Saddam. Heaven knows you can't get quality baked goods in Baghdad.
