Hillary and Bill were founding members of the DLC. Some say that the DLC was Bill's idea, but I don't know, one way or the other.

The first two full-time employees of the DLC were Al From and Will Marshall.

Marshal left the DLC to found the Progressive Policy Institute, although the two organizations remained closely tied until the DLC's corporate existence ended.

Both the DLC and the PPI were pro invading Iraq and Marshall signed the PNAC letter. Bill Clinton has to be one of the brightest, most knowledgeable politicians in the US, if not the world. I'm guessing Hillary knew about PNAC. And, recall, she did not only vote for the invasion: She advocated for it.
