Reply #24: You can forgive her? I sure as hell can't. And never will! [View All]

I won't ever forget Hillary's "yes" vote on the Iraq war, because she
absolutely knew the neocons were selling us a disgusting pile of lies.

Look at this letter, to Bill Clinton when he was President. Signed
by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bolton and other assorted neocons. They
demanded war with Iraq in 1998 . Bill Clinton said no.

Fast forward to the day Hillary votes yes. She stood on the Senate
floor and parroted the Bush talking points. She never ONCE mentioned
that these same neocons asked her husband for war--just a few
years ago. The same cast of characters had been looking for a way into
the Middle East for years.

Finally, with Bush at the helm--and most of them in power positions in
the Bush Administration--they capitalized on the fear of 9/11, and AGAIN
made their case for war with Iraq.

Hillary damn well knew the neocons had been pedaling this war for years.
She said nothing about the letter they sent her husband.

She could have said, "These same neocons presented this letter to my husband.
They've wanted this war for a long time. I think our country needs to take
a step back and really think about what this means. Let's not rush into war.
Let's talk about what's really going on."

Hillary Clinton said nothing. She did nothing. As a powerful Senator on the
Armed Services Committee, she damn well had the position, the power and the
insider knowledge---to at least make a case that we not go to war.

I will NEVER forgive her for that. I don't give a damn how she parses her vote, or
how she tries to explain it. That's all moot.

She knew. Hillary Clinton knew it was a lie even before it started.
