Was Hillary In Favor Of INVADING Iraq? Perhaps Not.
She voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq if necessary. However she explicitly said back in 2002 that she wanted to go to war only as a last resort:

I will take the President at his word that he will try hard to pass a UN resolution and will seek to avoid war, if at all possible.”

1. "However she explicitly said back in 2002 that she wanted to go to war only as a last resort"

So did George W. Bush.

"I will take the President at his word that he will try hard to pass a UN resolution and will seek to avoid war, if at all possible.”

To bad that wasn't a binding term of the resolution she voted for.

Maybe we need a President who's savvy enough not to take a serial liar like Dubya at his word.

Edit: This belongs in GDP, and this is all I have to say on the subject.

3. What Would Obama Do In Hillary's Shoes?
How would Obama vote if he were in the US Senate at the time? He HIMSELF has said that he DOESN'T KNOW how he would have voted: "I'm not privy to Senate intelligence reports. What would I have done? I don't know."

4. He'd go "ouch! these shoes are like two sizes too small!"
Seriously, take the campaigning to GDP.

2. Maybe if she'd read the NIE
because, with all her experience, she would have been able to see it was bullshit.

5. What does this have to do with Texas?
Wouldn't this be better if it was posted in GDP?

Sigh... I'm almost getting nostalgic for the time that liberals in the rest of the country just thought we were a bunch of dumbshit rednecks and ignored us.

This is a non-partisan (well, within the Democratic party) forum about Texas and this kind of campaigning belongs in GDP.
