22. Hmmm, let's look at Hillary's judgement on this matter
She enabled Bushco's illegal, immoral war by voting for the IWR. In doing so, she ignored the wishes of her constituents, and the American people in general, who were emailing, sending, phoning and faxing in millions of messages at the rate of 268:1 against the IWR. Polls were showing that 68% of the American public didn't want to do anything, including the IWR, until the inspectors finished their job. But Hillary ignored all of this, and voted to let slip the dogs of war anyway.

Furthermore, she has continued to support the war, funding it, promoting it, and not admitting her vote was a mistake. Arrogance, nothing but sheer arrogance.

In addition she is now rattling the saber at Iran, signing Kyle/Lieberman, even though the NIE and IAEA have shown that Iran is not a nuclear threat.

She has also stated, repeatedly, that she will keep combat troops, going on combat missions in Iraq for the foreseeable future, perhaps throughout her entire first term(if she is elected).

All of these actions are not only signs of very poor judgment, but are also signs of arrogance and an unwillingness to listen to the people. She voted against the will of the people when she voted for the IWR, and now she is wanting to keep the war going despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of the American people want us out of Iraq ASAP.

You want to talk about judgment, well this is indeed a sign of poor judgment. So poor in fact that Hillary doesn't deserve to get the nomination. Instead, she needs to be held accountable for her actions, which is part of what is going on with this election. What, don't you believe in accountability?
