Irony alert.
In a memo published over the weekend, the Republican National Committee whacked Dem frontrunner Hillary Clinton over her vote in favor of authorizing President George W. Bush to take military action in Iraq.
“Throughout her career, Clinton has always been wrong on Iraq,” the memo says in its “TOP TAKEAWAYS.”
“Clinton voted to authorize the war in Iraq, which was devastating to her 2008 presidential bid,” the memo notes, with no sense of irony about the signature foreign policy failure of the Buh years.
The memo, which is little more than a glorified press release pegged to the anniversary of her Iraq War vote, goes on to note the regrets Clinton expressed about her vote. Its spin is that for political reasons she then voted against the Iraq War surge and has supported the U.S. withdrawal from the region.
Man, I agree.
The policy failure of the Buh years was a very bad thing.
P.S. Spellchecking is NOT the same thing as proofreading.
Shameless pricks. The whole lot of them. Republicans are the worst sort of human. Truly. Yes, she made a huge gaff voting for the war. But, I firmly believe the mark of true intelligence comes from admitting you made a mistake, showing contrition, AND LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES! Something she has, and the Republicans know absolutely nothing about. They are the party of “Routinely on the wrong side of history!” Jerk-offs.
RNC: “Man! Our Party’s policies were so fucked up… from the unnecessary war we did not pay for to the 10% unemployment and housing collapse thing. How in the world could anyone support anything we suggest ever”?
Right. Her mistake, but the GOP orchestrated and manipulated the CIA and Intelligence apparatus because Bush-Cheney neo-cons were in control of what it found. So Hillary like most of the rest of us were victims of GOP shenanigans.
I’m surprised they also didn’t knock her for being a Senator from New York when the World trade Center was destroyed as the president ignored a CIA warning about the very possibility. Hmm, who was that president again…let me think…
