Where the country really is: c. 40% Clinton, 35% Trump, 25% neither--& "neither" didn't get a publicly financed convention to make his case.

When Dems are finished running vs Trump's foreign policy, they'll be more hawkish than me.#OneGoodConsequenceOfTrump

Blake Hounshell @blakehounshell   You Dems do realize that Obama is opposed to sending lethal arms to Ukraine, right? https://twitter.com/creynoldsnc/status/761629659633188864

The US does not need to provoke Russia. Ukraine cannot defeat Russia, and the US would be foolish to cause this mess to prolong itself.

Bill Kristol is mostly a jerk.

Billy Chrystal is one of Los Tres Amigos and is funny.

She has not recommended any massive invasions or occupations, so not really.
Trump would be a greater danger, as he is quick to insult and to anger.

Do you ever tire of being a boring, unimaginative dullard and creep?

The bill was not to invade Iraq, but th give Juniorbush the authority to do so.
Many hoped that Saddam would simply take the money and run with his sons.

I was opposed to it, so the term "everyone" is incorrect. Congress was NOT unanimous.

We're not talking about you now, are we.  When a congress critter SUPPORTS and VOTES for authorization to use force, its a clear reference to SUPPORTING the use of force.  You can't have read her mind.  You have no basis to claim she voted for it, only to not actually support it

SUPPORTING the use of force is not the same as actually USING force,
Just like putting money in a checking account is not the same as spending money.
Putting gas in the car is not the same as driving on a trip.

Authorizing the use of force is like cocking the hammer ans aiming the gun.
It is not the same as shooting the gun.

Supporting the use of force is SUPPORTING ITS USE, if its indeed USED.  Not sure what clinton-like semantic game you're playing, but Clinton DID support the war in Iraq.  You didn't, she DID.  It's that simple.

The US should strive to have much better relations with Russia and cease trying to piss in Russia's soup every chance we get. Trump says "wouldn't it be great to get along with Russia". I agree! Ukraine, Crimea is no real US National Interest. It would be great if Ukraine or Crimea would be independent, free, democratic....but we have no business there and way too many other more pressing issues to tackle. We should take a lesson from Russia on how to better deal with the Middle East.

It was an error for Hillary or anyone to vote for that bill.
I was against it entirely I knew that Juniorbush, Rumsfeld, Cheney Rice and Powell and the rest of them were lying about WMD's.
Hillary has since admitted that it was an error to vote for it.
