...Kerry still had to go through the exercise, however, to prove he is not the tax-and-spend liberal the White House claims he is. Now that the primaries are over, he?s positioning himself firmly in the Bill Clinton wing of the Democratic party, where fiscal discipline matters more than big spending.

Within weeks of Baghdad's capture, the Sadrist movement had emerged as the most organized political force in Iraq. That legacy will make the movement difficult...
