...Defining the Clinton Doctrine I am a proud, loyal Democrat who is opposed to the candidacy of Senator Hillary Clinton for President [Nov. 19]. I have no problem with her positions on the issues or her little sashay to the right in anticipation of the general election. And my opposition certainly does not rise to the level of hatred. But the voters (with a little help from the Supreme Court) have already passed the presidency from a Bush to a Clinton to another Bush. Now it could be passed back to another Clinton, and I'd bet that Jeb Bush...
...House Democrats reject such arguments. Bush's announcement in September that he was beginning a drawdown was "a study in calculated public deception," Rep. David Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who heads the House Appropriations Committee, said last week. The pullout of 30,000 troops by next summer will still leave about 140,000 troops in Iraq, the same size force that was there before the 30,000-strong "surge" began earlier this year. "He made clear in that speech that as far as he's concerned," Obey said, "we're going to be there for the next decade...

"Go back and look - 'Mission accomplished,' al-Qaeda connection, weapons of mass destruction, on and on and on, and you believe the Pentagon?" He calls the Pentagon's alarmist warnings "Rumsfeld-like," which is perhaps the ultimate insult in Washington today...

...still waiting for the answer to what she believes. I'd be inspired and excited to vote for Clinton if she would just answer a question instead of letting sheep like Klein explain her ambiguous responses. Everybody gets that she can be as politically savvy as any former President - Democrat or Republican - but by continuing to avoid taking and presenting a position, she'll eventually deal herself out of the big card game.
