16. He has mostly avoided detail - just saying he was wrong
Edited on Tue Jun-05-07 05:51 PM by karynnj
When he has gone further he tends to contradict himself, for instance saying:

- In Oct 2003 on Hardball - That he never thought there were WMD, but that there were other reasons Saddam was a threat.

- In his appology, he says that they were lied to on WMD.

- In a recent New Yorker article - he said that everybody, including Republicans and Democrats thought there were WMD in October 2002.

All of these refer to his belief at a fixed point in time and they are inconsistent.

My point is I buy that you can make a case for that reason, but, after giving your vote and putting your name on that list under "yea", when Bush violated all the promises he made, ignoring that the resolution had succeeded beyond anyone's expectation in getting Saddam to open his country to inspections, made moves to invade. If they honestly voted that way, they would have been angry enough to speak out. I hold Hillary more responsible than most because she and Bill had the biggest Democratic voices and didn't use them.
