More to the point, I think, she said that it was for "lies" *and* "to benefit Israel." Not *just* to benefit Israel, which is what I hear people turning her words into. As for how the war benefits Israel, it doesn't take a political scholar to figure out that as a democracy and ally of the United States, Israel could benefit if we actually could turn Iraq into a U.S.-allied democracy.
