Hillary forgot something regarding her Iraq record.

On "Meet the Press" Hillary went to great lengths to explain to Tim Russert her record on Iraq, in particular why she was against the war (nudge, nudge). However, despite the length and detail of her explanation, she left out something she had said six days earlier, namely the following:
After 9/11, I would never have taken us to war in Iraq. I would have stayed focused on Afghanistan because the real threat was coming from there.
In her entire appearance on "Meet the Press" (and she was the only guest for the entire hour), she mentioned Afghanistan only once:
I mean, we face huge problems at home and around the world. Nobody can diminish those. And the next president is going to walk into that Oval Office on day one having to end the war in Iraq, having to deal with what's happening in Afghanistan, the Middle East and across the world, dealing with our tough problems from the economy going south to 47 million people uninsured. And I think we're going to need a president who has really prepared and thought about what to do on that very first day.
(emphasis added). There is absolutely no mention of Afghanistan as a reason why Hillary would not have invaded Iraq. And by the way, Hillary never mentioned Afghanistan even once in her October 10, 2002, speech explaining why she was voting for the IWR.

And so she has gone from flippity to flop and added another flippity.
