Still, those don't look like driving shoes she's wearing.

Bush said he needed a free hand to start a war with Iraq over WMD.

Hillary had a NIE stating that there's no real evidence of WMD.

Hillary not only voted to give Bush the power to cause catastrophe, she gave a passionate floor speech urging her colleagues to do the same.

Thank God, most Democrats voted "no" on that. Tell me, do you think they voted wrong?

I suspect you're mistaken.

It's the biggest foreign policy clusterfuck in the past 50 years, it's gonna come up.

Just about everyone else voted for the "should it become necessary" intent too. Those who didn't, knew it would pass anyway.

I bet my rear Elizabeth Warren would have voted for it too, given her Republican background.

Otherwise people might think that she's a snobbish international superstar with demanding lists to be filled and surrounded by assistants and stuff.

Can't have that.

People will no doubt be watching her throughout the next few days and trying to spot her and the secret service entourage.
