Playing For Time

Hillary says an immediate U.S. exit from Iraq would be “a big mistake”. Do you know what this really means? It means that the variety of polls which suggest that the American public is tired of the war and wants troops out of Iraq are weak, or entirely inaccurate. If there was a strong majority of people calling for troop withdrawal, Hillary would be standing up next to Senator Jack Murtha pounding on the lectern as his booming voice fills the Senate Gallery. But, she’s not. She’s picking the position that mirrors the reading of her internal polls. Of course, Hillary is simply waiting to see which way the political wind will blow, and today’s jet-stream continues to flow in Right direction – “Stay the Course”.
