Yes, she has admitted it several times already.  It's not her fault if you don't pay attention. 

I'd take that a little more seriously if she hadn't voted for Iran war (the Bush administration declined to take advantage of the warmongering that Clinton allowed them there) and supported arming the "moderate" Syrian rebels, going as far as to criticize Obama for that. Her actions have led to the creation of ISIS, and it's not just her vote for the Iraq war that she made without reading the intelligence report like the chair of Senate intelligence commite urged everyone to. Of course Bob Graham voted no.

I can't believe people don't remember crap that happened 10 years ago.

The Iraq War debate wasn't "does Iraq have WMDs or not?" Everyone thought Iraq had WMDs. Even Howard Dean. Even Gerhardt Schroeder.

The Iraq War debate was "are Iraq's WMDs worth going to war over? Is Saddam likely to use them?"

That was the debate.

It was clear to any intelligent person that the answer was no.

Even WITHOUT the benefit of hindsight, her vote was wrong.

True that. We need someone who has shown some real leadership. Gore led on the Internet and Global Warming. Kerry led on the Iran Contra scandal. Clinton hasn't showed real leadership on anything.
