Hillary Clinton: Iraq War Vote a Mistake

November 30, 2005

For the first time since she voted to authorize the Iraq war three years ago, 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is now saying that vote was a mistake - in an apparent move to pacify growing dissatisfaction with her position among the Democratic Party’s left-wing base.

“If Congress had been asked [to authorize the war], based on what we know now, we never would have agreed,” Clinton said, in an email sent to her supporters on Tuesday.

While saying she took full responsibility for her error, Clinton repeatedly insisted that she had been misled by “false” intelligence on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction presented by the Bush administration.

Citing “assurances they gave that they would first seek to resolve the issue of weapons of mass destruction peacefully through United Nations sponsored inspections,” Clinton lamented: “Their assurances turned out to be empty ones.”

In fact, “the Administration refused repeated requests from the U.N. inspectors to finish their work,” she complained.
