"she now states that the war was a mistake, knowing what we now know,"

Crime, Disaster,crass stupidity, greed, all could be applied to the Iraq debachle, but isn't "mistake" a bit mild when applied to the deaths of over half a million people?

Sounds like you're trying to get "Hillary the Hawk" off the hook.

If Mrs Clinton had not the political accumen to work out the consequences of a pre-emptive war on Iraq, then I woulds feel most uneasy with her finger on the nuclear button.

Bobert and I knew it was a "mistake long before Mrs Clinton did....why dont you dump Hillary and stick up Ake and Bobert on a joint ticket.
