So Hillary voted for "authority to act in accordance with the UN Resolution" but you don't consider that a vote for war? Like every single person who voted that way knew only too well that it WAS a vote for war? I'm not the person who's "spinning" the truth here, D-Lady...that would be you!
It was a vote to give the President authority to act in accordance with the UN Resolution, which had yet to be obtained. Yes, it is the vote which Bush used to go to war, but Clinton's speech at the time was clear that she hoped that the President never had to use it and that Saddam complied with the UN Resolution. That doesn't sound pro-war, "we must invade", to me. That to me shows respect for the Office of the President, during a difficult time in the nation.
That you now pounce upon this vote as an indicator that Hillary is a war-monger is hysteria at its worst.
This is why conservatives got bat shit over nothing if you attach Hillary Clinton's name to it.
7 attacks on US diplomatic outposts during Bush's Administration, 66 deaths = 0 investigations, 0 blame attached to the President, or the Secretary of State. 1 attack on a US diplomatic outpost during Obama Administration, 4 deaths - 7 investigations all clearing the President and the Secretary of State, but still conservatives are certain that everything Fox News told them is true, even though their own investigations say it never happened.
See how that works. Republican make shit up, get it investigated, find nothing, but still claim it happened.
How many American Ambassadors were killed in a consulate during the Bush 8 years? How many American diplomatic personnel were killed under Bush because of lapsed security by the State Department? Benghazi was a total cluster fuck because of Hillary Clinton's incompetent management of State Department policy...putting "optics" before the safety of the people she had working for her and then being more worried about damage control than sending help when it blew up in her face.
2 Americans died, one diplomat, in the Bush years. Amazing that you cons are so concerned about Americans dying one would think you would know the exact figures. 17 Americans died at the US Embassy in Beirut when a car bomb exploded when Reagan was President, and not a peep out of you people.
Your OWN investigations say that there was no lapse in security, no cluster fuck, and no incompetence, and furthermore there was NO COVERUP in Benghazi. So everything you believe about Benghazi, only happened on Fox News. Ambassador Stevens was warned not to go to Benghazi but chose to go anyway. This is hardly Hillary putting him in harm's way.
Benghazi was not a clusterfuck. It went down pretty much like every other attack on an embassy, but Republicans immediately politicized it. That's the difference between Benghazi and other diplomatic attacks. Republicans saw an opening and exploited it, because they have nothing on Obama. Same as they had nothing on Bill Clinton so they went after him for a blow job. This is what Republicans do.
