NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Whose Fault Is It Hill Did Not Know Then What She Knows Now About Iraq War?
A New Yorker who attended a Town Hall Meeting Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) held in Hampton, NH, asked whether she had read the report on intelligence and the Iraq war provided to her in 2002. Clinton replied that she had been briefed on the report, and the woman screamed back, "Did you read it?!" Shaken, Clinton restated that she had been briefed on its contents. The woman repeated her question again – and again at the top of her lungs. She got the same answer. After a third-go-round, the woman sat down and Clinton added, "If I had known then what I know now, I never would have voted to give this President the authority." Clinton also said she believed she was giving the President the authority to send U.N. inspectors to Iraq. The Stiletto can’t help but wonder whether Clinton would have known then what she claims to know now if she had bothered to read the report herself instead of getting the Cliffs Notes version.
