Just to show that I realize the other side of the political fence isn't above pandering to do what it takes to win. Back when W first wanted to go into Iraq Hillary voted for the invasion. She can claim she won't do it now if she knew what it meant all she wants, her actions speak louder than words. At the time that was the popular thing to do, to vote no would have made it look like she was soft on terrorism and she didn't want that. So she voted yes. I would have liked her to show a little more courage and voted against it. Sometimes people in politics have to vote for their beliefs and not what they think will be best for them in the long run. I'm sure even then she was planning on running for President and being soft on terrorism would not have been a good move on her part. But knowing what's right doesn't mean you're soft on terrorism.
