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."

Jeez, wasn't she on the other side of this issue LAST WEEK?

Classic democrat stategy, be on both sides of an issue and the press will always let you get away with it.

Now that ALL of the Dems have jumped on this wagon, I know in my heart Iraq is about to turn the corner and we shall reign victorious. The Dems are acting as panicked as Al Qaeda is regarding the 12/15 elections; desperate in their rhetoric to sabotage that vote in knowing their demise will soon flow thereafter.

"But, she must be getting worried the MoonBats will go someplace else so she's playing to her natural base instead of trying to pretend she's a "moderate"."


Even the moonbats see through her ruse. (Language Warning)

"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady... is a congenital liar.*"

"*The first word I had in mind was 'prevaricator,' which means 'liar,' and the second one was 'dissembler,' which also means 'liar.'"

Blizzard of lies

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.

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.

Apparently the Mighty Hildabeaste has finally found something where she can be an undisputed, absolute, expert. That would be hindsight.

Hindsight? No it's not.

I voted for the war before i wish i had voted against it?

The Dems campaign is based upon a shameless litany of lies. The Democrat Party Platform is to hide their Platform.
