Bernie Met the Pope/Hapless Hillary Sends Innocents to War & Death

Remember last week when President Obama said these things about Hillary?

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/04/10/obama_clinton_didnt_intentionally_put_america_in_jeopardy_i_guarantee_no_political_influence_in_server_probe.html

"She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy."

and

"I continue to believe she has not jeopardized America's national security," Obama defended Clinton.

He was talking about her "carelessness in terms of managing e-mails that she has owned" but it looks like this isn't the first time Hapless Hillary has messed up on something major.

For those who don't remember, Hillary was a supporter of the "Iraqi War Resolution" which meant we attacked a country that posed no danger to ours so we could steal their oil. While most of us know this already, "proof" has finally come out.

Declassified CIA Document Reveals Iraq War Had Zero Justification
http://yournewswire.com/declassified-cia-document-reveals-iraq-war-had-zero-justification/

Now that document has been declassified and it reveals that there was virtually zero justification for the Iraq war. The document reveals that there was “no operational tie between Saddam and al Qaeda” and no WMD programs.

The report reveals that the intelligence community and the US Department of Energy did not think Saddam was pursuing any type of WMD program, and was instead developing rocket motors....

Countless lives destroyed and millions of dollars wasted -- but did Hillary know?

YES.

"But if Clinton’s claim that “I had acted in good faith” passes muster, her assertion that she “made the best decision I could with the information I had” does not. Prior to Clinton’s October 10, 2002 speech from the Senate floor explaining her Iraq vote, the Bush administration sent over two documents to the Senate for review. The first was a 92-page, classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The second was a five-page, unclassified version."

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/06/whats-missing-from-hillary-clintons-iraq-war-apology/372427/

Let's be fair - reading 92 pages of material is A LOT OF WORK to ask a sitting Senator to do, when instead she can read and regurgitate the 5-page cliff note version. And Bush Junior was bound and determined to topple Saddam for "dissing his daddy" or some such nonsense, so could Hillary Clinton, former First Lady and New York Senator, have possibly STOPPED THAT INSANITY?

Could she have used her personal prestige and influence to save hundreds of thousands of lives?

We will never know because she didn't even try. Instead, she jumped on the war bandwagon and joined the Republican Rah-Rah chorus.

Well FUCK THAT NOISE!

Impossible things happen when people actually TRY - see "Bernie and the Pope" for an example - but if someone doesn't have the morals, ethics and values that come with caring about whether or not other people will die if you don't TRY they do not belong in the White House.
