Authors Say Clintons Had '20-Year Pact' to Gain Presidency

New Book About Hillary Rodham Clinton Portrays Her as Ambitious and Loath to Admit Mistakes

"As investigative reporters, we shine a spotlight on some of the things she doesn't want you to know about."

One of those things is her Senate vote to go to war in Iraq. Van Natta and Gerth say that Clinton didn't do her homework before voting to authorize the war.

"She had to backtrack from that position and show that she … carefully misrepresents some of the things she said in 2002," Van Natta said. "For instance, she said there was a link between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein on the Senate floor."

The authors say it's unlikely she read the National Intelligence Estimate, which raised major doubts about that link.

When asked what kind of president Hillary Clinton would be, Gerth said, "There are two Hillarys."

"She's battle tested, well-qualified, she certainly demonstrated last night how well versed she is on a variety of issues," Gerth said. "But when it comes to pitfalls in the road like Iraq or other areas like energy, she doesn't like to admit mistakes."
