HILLARY!! Let's not forget about all the American lives lost in the useless Iraq war

AND YOUR ROLE IN IT. After **4,486** U.S. soldiers died in Iraq and **2,345** U.S. soldiers died in Afghanistan, **1 million** U.S. soldiers wounded in both wars, and a potential cost of up to $6 trillion, AND a new group like ISIL now causes havoc in the Middle East.

The MSM keeps chanting SANDY HOOK but where is all the media attention that should be focused on HILLARY'S role in the loss of our precious youth in an unnecessary war that she promoted and voted for? Or don't these lives mean anything? Talk about an ATROCITY. There are no words to do it justice

5. Get off your high horse. What would you have done if the President was saying

this was only a ploy to get more Diplomatic advantage to resolve this peacefully. Bush/Cheney lied to Congress and all of the rest of the United States. Get the Fact instead of the sound bites.

It wouldn't have mattered, but she was really for it. That's why she voted Yes.

Shouldn't your wrath go to him also. How about Bush or Cheney. No, it it one Democratic senator from NEW YORK who was hit and wanted to support her state. What would you do?

recently complimented Hillary. If you want to jump in the same boat as Cheney, and all the other neocons, be my guest, but please go post in the Hillary group

8. Their were former weapons inspectors all over the media saying there were NO

WMD in Iraq, that they had destroyed it all. There hadn't been a sufficient amount of time to reconstitute if they were trying. Which obviously they were not. The truth was being told, however, those who benefits from the MIC were not going to deny them all that cash.

and how about covering Iraq with depleted uranium and burn pits guaranteeing birth defects for years to come?

This "mistake" nonsense of hers!! anyone who was paying any attention could see the whole thing was being made up, that the country was being railroaded into occupying a country with huge oil reserves. there was no super secret info that congress knew about that necessitated war. that was abundantly clear to us hoi polloi. why the hell wasn't it clear to them? she wasn't the only one, but the other ones aren't trying to get their hands on the country's steering wheel right now either.
