It is so funny that the way they avoid someone with flaws in their track record is to vote for someone with no track record at all. While I don't care for Clinton either the logic of voting for Obama because he didn't make Clinton's Iraq vote is just stupid.

I kige this.

Ogump was a nobody state senator back then. Opposing the war was a safe position to take. If anything at all goes wrong you can come back later and say "I told you so". If it becomes the first war in history where everything goes perfectly, your comments can disappear down the memory hole.

Fact is, the Iraq war was a success. We deposed Saddam and allowed the Iraqis to choose their own leaders. Those were major objectives of the operation. You can certainly argue that it wasn't worth the price in blood and treasure, but that's a different question.

What you saying doesn't make any sense at all. If you were a Democratic primary voter in 2008, and a non-interventionist foreign policy was your primary concern, Obama was the only choice you had. There was no third option.

And your talk of Obama's lack of a foreign policy track record is downright hypocritical considering the fact that Obama had more foreign policy experience that either Reagan of W before they were elected President.

Don't forget Benghazi.

Or, the Reset Button.

Or, the FACT that Bill and Hill pumped Obamacare more effectively than Obama.

Finally, and this is not a sexist comment, she is one tired old woman.
