Mrs. Clinton said her 2002 vote was intended to increase pressure on Iraq to accept continued weapons inspections, not to go to war.

Hmm (pdf) Yeah, voting for diplomacy can be a bitch. But I bet it's nothing ... compared to having a conversation with America.

Pull her some slack. She was born in Ill and got her major education in Ark. The current crop of politicians from both states are criminal retards so guess she is also.

Heck the Democratics might suck it up and vote for a war maker, as long as it's a woman. That's basically what her questioner, Ms Dennett, said she was going to do. What strange and twisted motivations work their magic in the heads of Liberals.
