    If only we had listened to Hillary regarding Iraq.

    Did she ever say anything on the issue at the time?

    Surely "The Media" would've kept that hidden from the public, too. Silly goose.

    As the Iraq invasion began prior to Bush's reelection, by the unshakeable fount of wisdom that is Baron_Scicluna, the Iraq invasion is a non-event.

    We can happily debate her cowardice on that issue. She should face questions about it, frankly. It pertaining to a real life war where men and women died for who the flip knows what, years later. I don't know that you'll find she stovepiped evidence or got bored after it was over and appointed people who appointed people who flat out stole and mismanaged eight billion dollars, but if she did play a role in any of that, or sit silently while other hogs fed at the trough, put her on trial. Drum her out of the primaries too.

    Meanwhile, I hope we eventually find out what the unknown knowns and known unknowns were in her bloody and merciless War on Women.

    How is she the victim? She was a willing participant.

    According to Bush, it was a non-event after May 1, 2003.

    And he was re-elected, so he must have been right ... right?

    142 U.S. soldiers killed before May 1, 2003. 4,347 after.

    Nope.

    But he got re-elected because it would have been unpatriotic to not re-elect a "war president". Plus, flip-flopping is bad.

    So let me get this right ... per you, President Clinton's sexual harassment of Paula Jones was, in essence, pardoned/condoned by the American people when they re-elected him. But President Bush's being re-elected after the Iraq invasion can not be taken as a pardoning/condoning by the American people.

    You make more sense when you're pecking out analogies.

    The mainstream media is no longer liberal. It is equal parts liberal and conservative.

    A case of sexual harassment = hundreds, soon to be thousands of American soldiers killed, tens of thousands of civilians killed, and a trillion dollars spent.

    Nice perspective you have there.
