Unfortunately, as usual, Ms. Norton is a bit confused. We know these people can’t get in front of a microphone without making some sort of inane “blame Bush” comment, but come on. Can’t they do better than this?

First of all, the Iraq war took place in the 21st century, not the 20th. Oops.

However, even if she was right about the 20th century, the rest of what she’s saying would still be wrong. Vietnam was far more “catastrophic” for the United States, and World Wars I & II were vastly more “catastrophic” for pretty much the entire planet - by virtually every possible metric.

What any of this had to do with today’s House Oversight Committee Benghazi hearings, I don’t know. The only way I can tie the claim to the consulate attack is if I assume that the Iraq war was “catastrophic” because it set up a situation where Barack Obama and his inept regime could get elected.

...But I sort of doubt that’s the point Ms. Norton was trying to make.

It doesn't. But it does have to do with her 69 IQ.

Per her web site, she is a “tenured law professor”.

It says more about the constituents that elect her than it says about her. There are idiots in every district in American, not every district in America will elect them to public office.

What can be expected from someone who thinks she’s living in the 19th Century and just got freed from the plantation.

At the House committee hearings yesterday, where even Elijah Cummings fell silent, Delegate Norton trembled on the edge of declaring that the real reason for these hearings is because Republicans control the House and a black man is President.

I at least thought Ms. Norton smarter than, say, Sheila Jackson Lee. Oh, well.

The Iraq war took place in both centuries, unless you can show me where the United States Senate ratified an armistice after the 1991 truce (Hint; you can’t) so in a way she is only half as stupid as you are thinking.

Another failure of Clinton. Keeping an open ended war on pause.

It is just the latest Dem talking point. Obama recently pivoted back to the Iraq War in an attempt to get his base off the Benghazi story and re-riled about Iraq. Ignore them, they are all political hacks with no conscience.

Perhaps this quarter-wit was referring to Desert Storm commencing in 1990 and ending in 1991. I believe the US lost 245 valiant warriors, tragic surely but ten times more were lost at Pearl Harbor.

She’s an idiot. That’s being kind.

On day one, Harry Reid was on the Senate floor saying the war was lost. The Left did its level best to demoralize this nation and any semblance of accomplishment to do good.
The Economist asks, ‘What will America fight for?’ I say there’s nothing left because of the Progressive agenda.
