Hillary’s Iraq Vote Was Cast As Senator from New York—the state hit on 9/11!
At the time of Hillary’s Iraq vote, she was the Senator from New York, NOT the President of the United States. The people of New York supported her vote. Since their state had suffered an attack, they wanted no stones left unturned re Saddam’s capabilities or intentions! Her speech on the day of her vote, which the media conveniently ignores, made it clear that her vote was not to go to war and warned she would be against any preemptive attack on Iraq! Had Obama been in the Senate for that vote and had he represented the people from the state of New York, I seriously doubt he would have voted against giving the President the power he needed to make sure that Saddam did not have WMDs! Giving Bush the “stick” was not the same as telling him to use it!!!
