Did Bill Clinton withold his Intelligence Briefings from Hillary before she cast her IWR vote?

[reddread]

not to mention promoting the shit out of it before during and after?
did Bill keep her in the dark on the actual intelligence?

1. Legally, he would have to. nt

14. First ladies

don't vote. She didn't become a Senator until 2002.

5. interesting. didn't know this

7. I have to believe she was one of the very best informed and COMPLETELY in the loop.

and a vigorous proponent.
thats some mistake alright.

[Jennylynn]

4. WE knew it was bs.

So should have she.

[reddread]

6. it is so much worse than that in retrospect

she WAS the bs.
and now the Democratic Party wants to seal the deal for good.
they can seal it with a kiss.

19. Exactly. I didn't need a briefing to see it was 100% crap.

She has no excuse at all, especially now that we've seen what the CIA really was saying.

9. If I were going to cast a vote that would cause the deaths of American soldiers...

I sure as heck would ask the person that had the most intelligence information second only to Bush and his cabinet. Weapons of mass destruction don't just pop up magically after 9 months...

10. if there were WMD's (or for that matter any of the other pre-invasion publicity campaign claims)

I bet she would know where to find the receipts.

[onecaliberal]

11. I didn't need an Intelligence briefing to know what we were being told was a lie.

[reddread]

13. are lies now expected and preferred?

I cant believe I have to ask this question sincerely.

[onecaliberal]

15. It's fucking ridiculous... Lies are NOT preferred. Sadly they are expected, because only a handful

are honest, and not bought off.

[winter is coming]

17. +1. The level of magical thinking going on was a huge hint we were being lied to.

"We'll be greeted as liberators"--ha! There was a lot of talk about how we'd go in and kick ass, but if anyone asked, "And then what happens?" there was never a concrete answer, just more emotional rhetoric.

12. Intelligence was available to her.

An abbreviated intelligence report presentation was given to Senate. Bob Graham and others, but particularly Graham, objected to the report for its bias. An unredacted report was then made available for Senators to read in a secure room, which included evidence Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 which wasn't invluded in the presentation. Only a few Senators bothered to read the unredacted report, all voted against the war. Clinton didn't bother to read the report, called SoS Rices office and asked how she should vote.
