“As a senator, Hillary supported the disastrous decision to invade Iraq”

A lot of leaders worldwide supported the decision to invade Iraq. I think Hillary is unfit to be president but her support of the Iraq war not something I hold against here.

My opinion of the Iraq war is that on hindsight we shouldn’t have done it, but at the time it seemed make sense.

IMHO Iraq was the PC response to Iran, ditto that Afghanistan to box them in. If I remember correct, Cheney wanted to clean out all the rats nest, Rove/Bush had him on a leash. Will history denote Cheney was far smarter and better as a VP than we know as of today. I think so...

The war accomplished the purpose.

It ridded the world of Saddam Hussein and it created a reorganization of Mesopotamia. Had there been a president to follow Bush rather than incompetent black yahoo, the Sunni Shia dismemberment of Iraq would have been much less violent
