You do realize that General David Petraeus was found guilty of the same crime Hillary is being accused of and his life was ruined because he allowed someone without clearance to see his schedule which was considered classified right?


I mean you do understand that?

It's all GW Bush's Fault!

I mean seriously... that's so last decade.
There is no statute of limitations on war crimes.

When looking at numbers related to executive orders, remember that "Not all executive orders are created equal. Some are quite forceful, making dramatic changes to policy. Others are more routine, housekeeping issues. To say that one president issued more executive orders than another, tells us little about the scope of those orders or the impact they have on policy."

Translation: "Executive Orders are OK if I like them!"

Time and again, in the fall of 2002 and into early 2003, members of the administration spoke forcefully and without qualification about the threats they said Saddam Hussein posed. The JCS report undercut their assertions, and if it had been shared more widely within the administration, the debate would have been very different."

It never stops does it? Stop and live in the present for once. Deal with what is infront of you and not reliving something that happened years ago. It's over.0

Another thing about that graph, please know the difference between executive order and executive action, I believe the graph includes both. They are not the same thing.

It's over? Really? Tell that to the families of the thousands of soldiers who came home in body bags. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who lost family members. Tell that to the thousands of maimed and mentally destroyed soldiers who are struggling to get through every day now.

And yet, Donald Rumsfeld, who willingly, knowingly, withheld pertinent information so as not to derail the administration's push to war still walks around free. But to you, emails and talking points are more important.

Yet Obama followed the same policy of undermining ME dictators as Bush did and is partially responsible for deaths in Syria and Libya. You could care less about dead soldiers or civilians.

I am betting ya vote for Hillary this November.

Republicans continually agonizing over emails by Clinton (emails!) while not giving a damn about hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's who died because of a prolonged period of subterfuge and lies perpetrated by the Republican Party under George Walker Bush is perhaps the leading indicator of what is wrong with the conservative mind.

To say nothing of their toxic, corrosive soul.
