Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump’s Refusal To Own His Iraq War Support Is ‘A Judgment Issu

Source: Huffington Post

Clinton said recognizing her vote as a “mistake” is what separates her from Trump, who claims he opposed the Iraq War from the beginning. “My opponent was for the war in Iraq,” Clinton said. “He said he wasn’t ― you can go back and look at the record.”

Clinton cited a 2002 Trump interview with radio host Howard Stern, in which Trump expressed his support for the invasion in Iraq. “I have taken responsibility for my decision,” Clinton said. “He refuses to take responsibility for his support ― that is a judgment issue.”

When it was his turn to talk to Matt Lauer at the NBC forum Wednesday, Trump again denied that he supported the Iraq War. “I was totally against the war in Iraq,” Trump said. “You can look at Esquire magazine in 2004.”

The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003.

Most lunatic Republicans think we invaded Iraq during the Obama administration and the media refuses to correct them and lets them continue to believe it.

Trump made half a dozen statements last night at the Commander-in-Chief Forum, which in all honesty, should have disqualified him from the Presidency. Such as:

# Trump trashed the US military
# Trump made a mockery of our Military Generals
# Trump lied about his position on Iraq ... again
# Trump lied about the CIA briefing
# Trump professed his love for Putin ... again
# Trump blamed military sexual assaults on the victims

These are just a few of Trump's "WACKY" statements from last night in less than 30 minutes while fielding softball questions from Matt Lauer who was probably interviewing for show on the future Trump TV Network.

And today, all CNN is doing is talking about Hillary's statements about the emails and her statement that she will not want to place ground troops in a war against ISIS preferring instead to use other military means to defeat them once and for all.
Shame on CNN.They're trying to emulate Fox News while pretending to be impartial. America is not stupid and can see what is going on. No wonder CNN viewership is on the decline and their hosts are made a mockery on all the comedy channels.

And NBC is silent on Matt Lauer's XXX rated cozying up to Trump at the Forum !!

Is crazy. Who needs emails and possible hacks. Trump will just say it or tweet it.
