In hindsight

I hope she addresses this issue. I don't believe that she has ever said that her vote was a mistake. She can be forgiven for making a mistake, but she should admit her mistake.

Of course, I vote yes.

So why exactly are so many Democrats so excited about Clinton?
I've always believed that a lot of it had to do with the fact that we
have never had a female POTUS.
A lot of it has to with the problem that there isn't a lot of competition.
A lot can happen in the next sixth months, but right now Sanders seems
to be the candidate most likely to defeat her.
I wouldn't rule him out yet. Many people thought that she would beat Obama
in 2008. During the campaign many things could bring her down.
She may very well be our next president. True.
But her election in 495 days is still far from a certainty.
Whether Sanders would do well, were he to get the nomination, remains to be seen.

Will you at least admit that the premise by which you started this thread is incorrect?

Yes. I didn't realize that she said that her vote was a mistake. It did take her a
long time to do this and I wonder how political it was.

I certainly am glad that she has changed her position however political it may have been.

By the way, I don't think it is a good idea for Congress to give the POTUS a blank check to go to war; so yes, at the time of her original vote she made a serious mistake.
We should not go to war without a declarlation of war from Congress.
If this is ever going to be the case in the future we will go to war less.
Of course, I don't even buy the 'just war theory' in the first place.
