Bill, all we have to go on is what the candidates tell us in their speeches. Hillary has not admitted that she made a mistake on Iraq, as Edwards has, and she also says that circumstances around Iran are "on the table" which we can interpret to be a nuclear or invasion option. "Hillary the Hawk" is appropriate in this instance. Obama has stated later that he might have made a mistake regarding the Occupation. (I will not call it a war.)

It seems to me that Kerry and others knew that a pre-emptive strike into Iraq is illegal regardless of Sadam's reign of terror. I don't buy this "I didn't know" excuse that many Dem johnny-come-latelies are giving on this Occupation. It was wrong to begin with and they can't slide out of it.

Don't tell me please that Biden's "You're the real deal" speech to confirm Gonzales was a naive gesture either. The Dems were just too chicken.

And they keep giving money to Bush to finance this criminal enterprise.
