Hillary Clinton: Iraq War Vote a Mistake
For the first time since she voted to authorize the Iraq war three years ago, 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is now saying that vote was a mistake - in an apparent move to pacify growing dissatisfaction with her position among the Democratic Party's left-wing base.
"If Congress had been asked [to authorize the war], based on what we know now, we never would have agreed," Clinton said, in an email sent to her supporters on Tuesday.
While saying she took full responsibility for her error, Clinton repeatedly insisted that she had been misled by "false" intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction presented by the Bush administration.
Citing "assurances they gave that they would first seek to resolve the issue of weapons of mass destruction peacefully through United Nations sponsored inspections," Clinton lamented: "Their assurances turned out to be empty ones."

Classic democrat stategy, be on both sides of an issue and the press will always let you get away with it.
It is a pleasure U S Army EOD...

Ado Annie and Ali Hakim from Oklahoma!
That girl just cain't say no!
Please!!--hildebeast threads require a barf alert.
Ya think? This is gonna be a fun thing in '08!
Clearly Hillary! didn't (and doesn't) "have the same intelligence" as W. LOL
This is a major blunder on her part.
"*The first word I had in mind was 'prevaricator,' which means 'liar,' and the second one was 'dissembler,' which also means 'liar.'"
First she claimed she voted her conscience and her principles. Now I guess she's sold them out.

That claim is a lie because she has no conscience or principles.
She also has no friends, just people that she used in one way or another.
What she does have is an never ending lust for power.
She is mending fences with her base.
The MSM will certainly make this front page above the fold.
Saddam violated 18 UN resolutions to disarm. In 1998, he threw out the UN inspectors and Bill Clinton fired cruise missiles up camels' butts without UN approval.
She has just cost herself the election in 2008.
The collective MSM is more ignorant than
Hilldy is...if that is possible
And when you voted for Bill you got a two-fer. They were Co-Presidents. Thats what Bill said!
Hindsight? No it's not.
Note to Bill Frist: Schedule an IMMEDIATE vote for the Senate to cut and run.
Yep, watch the parade, jump in front of it and pretend to be the leader.
