Authorizing A War is NOT The Same As Funding It
Advertisements [?]
Every time someone says Hillary voted for the IWR and Obama spoke out against it, you get a barrage of comments on how Obama repeatedly voted to fund it.

I find it amazing that rather than come to grips with the fact that Hillary made a huge mistake, you have to change the subject and attack Obama. For the record, Hillary was right along side him voting to fund it the whole way.

What were they supposed to do? I know you all say just cut off the funds, but seriously, with as vindictive as he is, do you really think that would have forced him to bring the troops home?

Hell no! He would have left them over there to fend for themselves, and then turned around and blamed the Democrats for abandoning them.

You know he would have. He had absolutely no intention of ending this thing before his term was up. You all know that. It's time for you to admit it.

I know it sucks... She blew it. But the facts are the facts, and no amount of posturing is going to change that.
