Is that effective leadership, Paul? Or is that the absolute worst that politicians can do?

I can't fathom a standard by which you fault Bush for the war, but not similarly fault her. Unless you are one of the tin foil-hat crowd who thinks they manufactured evidence they knew to be false, to get people to vote for the war, and as far as I know, even Hillary has never accused Bush of that.
