  Hilary's hard won experience -- come on, now

  Just what "hard-won" experience are we talking about? Let's see: How many positions has she taken on Iraq? And now she is going to keep troops there forever to compound the problems? Just what experience is she drawing on there?

  First she supported the war. Then she wouldn't have supported the war if she had known what she knows now. (Likely experience here: others were gaining by having been against the war, and the electorate seemed to believe that we should declare victory and leave.) When for some reason that didn't fly, she decided to stay something different from anyone else: i.e., that we should stay in Iraq for 10 years. Which oil company gives her marching orders?

  Or is it Bill's experience we are talking about? Or maybe her experience in New York? I am sure you have all heard what I have read: she doesn't lead, she follows.

  Furthermore, and this really pisses off a lot of us who liked Bill Clinton: She didn't stand by her man. He was impeached for the most trivial reason, and where was she? Was she big enough to say to the world, "Hey, this is personal. Leave him alone. We will resolve this between us." Or something of the sort. No, she just uses the incident to try to stir up sympathy.

  And so it will always be.
