re: #129 Mattand

To be honest, I still hold Iraq against Clinton. I was skeptical of Colin Powell’s “ZOMG, MOBILE WEAPONS LABS!!!” UN speech. Not that I have any great insight on the Middle East or anything like that, but it was painfully obvious W was itching to work out his daddy issues by conquering Iraq.

If I could see it, Clinton should have seen it. To me, it felt like she (and Kerry, for that matter) was eager enough to authorize war so no one could say she hated America. It’s a common Democratic reflex.

It was stupid vote and helped pave the way to a ton of economic misery, Middle East stability, and tens of thousands of dead people. I absolutely give Sanders the check mark for that one.

And if Sanders gets the nod, I will vote for him November.

That said: Bernie Sanders winning the Dem POTUS nom guarantees a Republican President. Full stop. The GOP will not stop tarring him as a SOCIALIST!!!!! until months after the inauguration, and the American voter will be stupid enough to fall for it.

Or, as a senator from New York she was deeply affected by 9/11 and believed Powell.
