Hillary Rodham Clinton: Trojan Horse for the neocons
Posted by Jill | 10:43 AM
Given Bill Clinton's closeness with George Bush Sr., this kind of behind-the-scenes coziness between Hillary Clinton and Dim Son is extremely disturbing:

President Bush is quietly providing back-channel advice to Hillary Rodham Clinton, urging her to modulate her rhetoric so she can effectively prosecute the war in Iraq if elected president.

In an interview for the new book “The Evangelical President,” White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten said Bush has “been urging candidates: ‘Don’t get yourself too locked in where you stand right now. If you end up sitting where I sit, things could change dramatically.’ ”

Bolten said Bush wants enough continuity in his Iraq policy that “even a Democratic president would be in a position to sustain a legitimate presence there.”

“Especially if it’s a Democrat,” the chief of staff told The Examiner in his West Wing office. “He wants to create the conditions where a Democrat not only will have the leeway, but the obligation to see it out.”


When you look at how the Washington punditocracy and the mainstream media seem to have anointed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee before a single primary vote is cast (Exhibit A being her complete monopoly on ALL of the Sabbath Gasbag shows this past weekend), and the utterly awful Republican field, it sure looks as though a presupposition is being made that Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Despite her more recent rhetoric about wanting to end the war, Hillary's record is one of High Hawkishness. Haven't we had enough of presidents who have to prove their manhood by sending kids off to die?
