In other political news, Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton is continuing to refuse to acknowledge she made a mistake in voting for the Iraq War. On Saturday, during a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, a local resident named Roger Tilton questioned her.
Roger Tilton: “I want to know if right here, right now, once and for all and without nuance, you can say that war authorization was a mistake. I, and I think a lot of other primary voters, until we hear you say it, we’re not going to hear all the other great things you are saying.”
Sen. Hillary Clinton: “Well, I have said, and I will repeat it, that knowing what I know now, I never would have voted for it. But I also (applause) — I mean, obviously you have to weigh everything as you make your decision. I have taken responsibility for my vote. The mistakes were made by this president, who misled this country and this Congress into a war that should not have been waged.”
