What I want to know...
On the vote for the Iraq war we do know one thing. Senator Hillary Clinton voted for it, and gave missle pounding speeches on the floor of the Senate. That is a fact! We do know as Dennis Kalob has pointed out, that 23 Democratic Senators voted against the war. I have been saying that one fact for years. It was not a slam dunk by our Democratic Senators. An interesting fact is, only Democratic Senators who voted for the Iraq war have run for Preseident. Those 23 who voted against the war, well they have not run for President. It seems if you were going to run for President in 2004 or 2008 on the Democratic ticket you had to look powerful and patriotic.
Obama has recorded interviews during the Senate vote on the war in Iraq, stating he was against it and it would be a mistake. If Obama had been a Democratic Senator, maybe there would have been 24 that voted against the war in Iraq. That is what we know. We also know that Senator Clinton gave President Bush another green light to do his vodoo on Iran. We do know that Obama missed that vote on the campaign trail, but in a Concord Monitor editorial he said he was against it. The real question is with all Senator Clinton's experience, why she voted for these two acts of war in the first that place? I was against the war in Iraq from the start, and I have only been to Washington a few times, so how important is Washington experience? That is what I want to know.
