Time will tell, but the balance of evidence points to Fatboy Rove and Co. being guilty as sin.

Ed Klein: Hillary Clinton Will Cave in War on Terror News Max ^ \| 7-19-05 The American people are warming to the idea of Hillary Clinton as their commander in chief, according to a glowing profile in USA Today. But Ed Klein, author of the runaway best seller "The Truth About Hillary," is warning that if she becomes president, Hillary will cut and run in the war on terror the minute her polls go south. "Hillary is a poll-driven politician and her sudden emergence as a pro-military figure is purely expediency and positioning herself for the 2008 presidential election," Klein told NewsMax on Tuesday. "Because she has no principles, but is driven entirely by her ambition, she cannot be counted on to be a steadfast leader of the war on terrorism," he contends. USA Today's report paints an entirely different picture - and even goes so far as to suggest that Mrs. Clinton is actually popular in military circles. The paper quotes New Yorker Bill Herberger, an 80-year-old former American Legion commander, who was impressed with Sen. Clinton's pledge to save the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station from closure. "I will tell you that I didn't support her, because I didn't think she'd be supportive on issues like this," Herberger said. "And I will tell you that I will vote for her next time. She's been absolutely marvelous." Author Klein told NewsMax, however, that gushing media profiles and Mrs. Clinton's Johnny-come-lately pro-defense pronouncements aren't as important as her long history of antipathy toward the armed forces. "If the polls should suddenly turn negative on our global crusade against Islamofacism," he warns, "you can be sure Hillary will collapse."

Hillary Clinton: I Tried to Join the Marines(Hip Boot Alert) News mac ^ \| 7-19-05 USA Today's report on Sen. Hillary Clinton's newfound appeal as a possible commander in chief omitted a key part of her resume that proves she's long been a hawk on military and defense issues: her attempt to join the Marines 30 years ago. Or at least that's what she claimed. Seated beside her husband, the former first lady recounted her military experience during a 1994 TV interview. "Gee, now it was probably 19 years ago - in 1975," Mrs. Clinton recalled. "I decided that I was very interested in having some experience in serving in some capacity in the military." "Because we all love the military so much," Mr. Clinton interjected helpfully. Hillary resumed: "So I walked into our local recruiting office, and I think it was just my bad luck that the person who happened to be there on duty could not have been older than 21. He was in perfect physical shape." She remembered telling the recruiter, "I wanted to explore - I didn't know whether I thought active duty would be a good idea, reserve, you know, maybe National Guard, something along those lines." But Hillary's bid to become a leatherneck soon came unraveled. "This young man looked at me and he said, 'How old are you?'" she recalled. "I said, 'Well, 27' ... I had these really thick glasses on. "He said, 'How bad's your eyesight?' "I said, 'It's pretty bad.' "And he said, 'How bad?' "So I told him. "He said, 'That's pretty bad.' "And he finally said to me, he said: 'You're too old. You can't see. And you're a woman.' And then he went on ... this man, young man, was a Marine. "He said, 'But maybe the dogs [Army] would take you.'" "This is not a very encouraging conversation," Mrs. Clinton recalled thinking. "So maybe I'll look for another way to serve my country." The original transcript of Hillary's "I-tried-to-join-the-Marines" interview has vanished from the LexisNexis archives, but excerpts from a rebroadcast on Rush Limbaugh's old TV show are still available.
