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.
