Greg Tinti has a recap and analysis of a proposal Senator Hillary Clinton is introducing in the Senate for Iraq. In a nutshell, she’s calling for “phased redeployment” and we know what that means. You can view the video of Hillary’s presser here:
I have seen some discussions in the blogosphere of late about the fact that Barack Obama’s middle name is “Hussein” – the discussions usually involve speculation as to what that supposedly means (“is he a closet Muslim terrorist?!?” is the strong implication I get from some of what I’ve read).
There’s a lot of “I believe” Obama quotes in this video (which I think is from Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention), but what you don’t hear, and won’t, is Barack Obama saying “I believe that liberalism is the way to go in America, because I – ladies and gentleman – am a liberal, more liberal than Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy.”
