Lead

So Moveon.org has decided to go after Rudy for quitting the Iraq Study Group, for making a living, and not taking part in writing the intelligence report. Okay, that's fine. But where's the criticism of Hillary for NOT READING it? She decided that an hour of her time was more valuable than the lives of those sent to war. Being wrong is something we all are from time to time, but I wonder if it's really so much to expect that our leaders to prepare for the big decisions. She deliberately closed her eyes to the available information. That's fine for somebody who is too afraid to even try to make it on her own, sans her philandering husband, but is that is that what we want in a leader?

Again with the General Betray Us thing. She's now saying that she has great respect for the general, the same general whom she publicly, in front of Congress, and TV cameras called a liar. Gee, that was smart. Now if she becomes president the members of the military will have to guess if they'll take their orders from the president, who doesn't believe or trust the generals, or the generals who are undermined by the president.

Envisioning Hillary Clinton as prepared, or a leader, or really anything other than a desperate and vicious hanger-on does require a willing suspension of disbelief.
