From Hillary Clinton’s speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars:

“That begins with ensuring that America does have the world’s strongest and smartest military force. We’ve begun to change tactics in Iraq, and in some areas, particularly in Al Anbar province, it’s working.”

“We’re just years too late changing our tactics. We can’t ever let that happen again. We can’t be fighting the last war. We have to be preparing to fight the new war.”

Yes—the new war. You know, the one with Iran. Hillary, the War Goddess, and in thrall to the Lobby, is no more “antiwar” than Norman Podhoretz. And Norm, you’ll note, is Benito Giuliani’s foreign policy “advisor.” And Fred Thompson, who may beat out Benito, is not only a friend of Scooter Libby’s, but also supports the administration’s provocations against Iran. So no matter which party wins the White House, the War Party comes out on top. Ain’t democracy wonderful?
