Clinton’s response to the last question about being tested, was her home run that gave her a standing ovation at the end of tonight’s debate. I looked at that camera knowing that most of my neighbors were pro-war, and most of my business associates in the city were pro-war, and I said, "I hope America is ready to send their children into war based on a lie, because that is what they will be doing." I explained to the news reporter that Hussein's son-in-law, who Bush quoted to prove Iraq had WMD because he was the head of Iraq's weapons program before defecting to Jordan . . . had also said in the same testimony THAT IRAQ HAD DESTROYED THEIR WMD, as well as the documents on them. This was public knowledge. I knew it. Hillary knew it. And the corporate media knew it. The difference between me and them, is I said it . . . and they all hid it, thereby participating in Bush's lie that led us all into war. Hillary could have spoken out like I did. She didn't. And today that soldier she used, the one with the melted face, she used to get a tear and standing ovation tonight . . . has a life of disfigurement ahead of him. It is time for politicians to be held accountable for their decisions. McCaine should be held accountable for supporting the war. Hillary should be held accountable for voting to go to war. I know she claims she didn't think Bush would use the power for other than a threat to get weapons inpectors in. We all know better. We all knew exactly what Bush would do with that power.
