Hilary Clinton first voted for the Iraq war and now as she is running for president she regrets that decision. She now says that vote was a mistake. To me this is kind of a contradiction and is part of the reason why Hilary Clinton in my mind is not very trustworthy. Hilary Clinton insists that she was misled by faulty intelligence from the Bush administration. She insists that the current Bush administration bypassed our last line of defense to show that our intelligence was false. This last line of defense was the United Nations weapons inspectors. In this situation I disagree with Hilary Clinton. I think at the time of the invasion based our intelligence it was a necessary move to prevent a possible nuclear war in the Middle East.
The second article discusses Hilary Clinton’s position on Iran. She voted in favor of a measure by the Bush administration to declare that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist organization. What this bill will do is to intensify diplomatic pressure on Iran. Hilary Clinton has received a lot of criti. cism from the democrats for her vote. Many Democrats see this bill as a means by the bush administration to build a case for war with Iran. I disagree with that above statement because we currently do not have the resources for a war with Iran because we are currently tied down in Iraq
