Hillary's in a tough spot on the Iraq War.

If she had come out against it from the getgo and they had gone in there and found stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and some plans to jump start the nuke program, (which pretty much everybody thought they had at the time) she would have seemed like a WEAK fragile woman.

Even if they hadn't found any weapon stockpiles, but were able to turn Iraq into a "showplace" for Middle East democracy, she would STILL have been seen as a WEAK fragile woman that couldn't stomach war in any circumstance.

She can't really go out there and say that it was a good idea to invade Iraq and it only turned out wrong because Bush screwed it up.

She's in a tough position on Iraq.
