Hillary has the positions she has because she knows that women alone will not elect her.
She also wants to hold on to her sizeable Jewish base and plays both sides of the table when convenient. A little for this side, a little for that side, not too much now, not enough to really get pinned down on a commitment, etc., etc., etc. - Reply to this comment
- Forum, you sound like you want the war to continue so that it will be good for the Democrats.
I know you do not mean that.
Let us hope it is off the 2008 political table. It would be good for the country and allow us to talk about domestic issues which have taken a back seat for the last several years. - Reply to this comment
- Forum, actually, because the GOP wants the issue off the table for the 2008 elections, I suspect we will be down below 90,000 troops (Gates'''' number) and we will be withdrawn to relative safety.

Hoiw many times have you seen these rosy projections from Repubs? Too many times to believe any of them, I''ll tell you that.
Rumsfeld said we''d be below 100,000 troops by the end of 2003.
Gates can say 90,000 now, but when the violence returns to pre-surge levels as the troop strength returns to pre-surge levels, he''ll be singing a different tune, you can bet. - Reply to this comment
- Forum, you are correct today. However, if the Iraq War does wind down and the troops are coming home in large numbers, then he will become very popular in Republican circles.

Remember all the talk a few years ago about Jeb possibly succeeding Dubya?
Boy howdy, did Dubya make sure that no other Bush will ever sit in the oval office.... - Reply to this comment
