I ... but ... that's crazy. Hillary Clinton's saying we would have invaded Iraq without her help

Hillary made the case, as she has before, that the vote for the war was really a vote to give Bush increased diplomatic leverage over Saddam, something she claimed made war less likely.

But this time she added that there would have been a war without any such resolution in any case.

The leverage was the statement by the camerae that they wouldn't stop an illegal war. You can't say both that it increased the leverage and didn't make war more likely. It's nonsensical.
