Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

I was here at DU. It was very clear to us at that time the Bush administration was hell bent on invading Iraq, and was engaged in a marketing campaign of deceit to sell the war to the American people. We knew about PNAC and the agenda for global military domination, and that the supposed "grave and gathering threat" posed by the debilitated country of Iraq was a false pretext.

If Hillary Clinton didn't know that, she was too incompetent to hold the office of US senator.

More likely she was on board with the agenda, or stuck her finger in the political winds of the time and decided it was better to be "tough" on national security.

All of which are inexcusable, and unforgivable in my book. Then more than ever, we desperately needed strong Democratic leaders to stand up, speak truth to power, and be champions of the people in opposing this fraudulent rush to a disastrous war that has cost us more than the $3 trillion that will be spent before it's over.

Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and other Dems (slightly less than half the total in House & Senate) who voted for the IWR forever lost my vote in Democratic primaries.

Hillary was a hawk then, and she's a hawk now. I do not trust her in matters of war, peace, and national security.
