And... I have never understood why Hillary has not directly used the obvious defense for her vote on 'war' with Iraq. (I heard ONE pundit refer to it obliquely)

'After 9/11, there was a lot of concern about who was involved and where future dangers were located. George Bush was president, receiving daily briefing from the CIA and other 'experts'. He had access to supposed information that others did not. *HE* said that Iraq was developing 'weapons of mass destruction', based on intelligence gathering. Dick Cheney said it was "a slam dunk" that we'd find them. I voted the best I knew, giving the president the 'benefit of the doubt'. I wish I had known more about his sources.'
