(15,438 posts)for the IWR. Had your State been targeted and attacked in 9/11 and you were State Senator, would you vote against the IWR a year later? Remember, this was a time when people were still horrified and devastated by the attacks and when U.S. M$M were propagating the lie that Iraq had something to do with it as they beat the drums of war.
Twenty of the thirty-one New York U.S. House Reps and both Senators of New York had voted for the IWR.
In light of the numbers above, Hillary Clinton, junior senator of New York, would have been seen as a weak Senator, one who didn't care about her New York constituents who were still reeling just a year after 9/11, and who were made convinced that Saddam Hussein had something to do with the attacks.
Let's not forget that she's apologized for that vote and that it had already cost her the presidency in 2008. Honestly, don't you think it's time to bury that hatchet - preferably in the ground rather than in Hillary Clinton's back?
