Isn't there a good candidate, anywhere?
Atrios, at Eschaton, was good enough to provide this post Your Bedtime Reading linking to the article, The Strategic Class, by Ari Berman. Here's a sample of what Berman discusses.
...The Democrats' speculative front-runner for '08, Hillary Clinton, has offered similarly hawkish rhetoric. "If we were to artificially set a deadline of some sort, that would be like a green light to the terrorists, and we can't afford to do that," Clinton told CBS in February. Instead, she recently proposed enlarging the Army by 80,000 troops "to respond to threats wherever danger lies." Clinton, a member of the Armed Services Committee, appears more comfortable accommodating the President's Iraq policy than opposing it, and her early and sustained support for the war (and frequent photo-ops with the troops) supposedly reinforces her national security credentials...I might have mentioned (I know I have in comments at various blogs) that I do not like Hilary Clinton as a presidential prospect. I think she follows the Republican lead in too many areas.
