One of the many distressing aspects of the current situation in Iraq is that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is beginning to appear downright presidential in comparison to ineffectual Bush administration officials and irresponsible Democratic leaders.
On Saturday, Clinton traveled to Baghdad for meetings with the Iraqi political leadership and U.S. commanders. She went on camera to say she was "skeptical" that the Iraqi government will fulfill its role in the new Bush strategy and characterised the overall situation in Iraq as "heartbreaking."
Other Democrats were criticising President Bush's strategy from the safety of congressional committee rooms and TV studios, but Clinton was there, on the ground. When she was filmed putting on body armor, it was not a Dukakis moment, because you knew that she was in an actual war zone.
I still have a lot of resistance to the idea of having another Clinton in the White House, but she is certainly demonstrating that she has what it takes to get there.

Stunning, absolutely stunning, the United States military and this administration has taken-up selling the war, instead they have taken-up selling fake success and fake photo-opportunities. So that the steady stream of Washington Fakers can fake it that they have “visited Iraq” and they have fake determined that the fake surge is working, and so that we should put more money into it, and more lives must be sacrificed. Twisted logic and fakery! Wow, Simply Wow…can we sink any lower!
