Kate, I grow less willing to cut her slack with each passing day. I've even found myself rethinking much of the 90s, including some of the stuff during the impeachment crisis.

I have to work to see her doing anything other than doing whatever she can to get the nomination right now and then trying to clean it up afterwards.

If I had to debate that position on Iran as a serious foreign policy proposal, thrown out all by itself, the way she did, I, quite frankly, couldn't find any reason to argue for it.

<<<Just like M. Albright, Hillary knows the history of Iran and our meddling role in things and that the US should make some reasonable overtures and mend some >>>

Somehow women can not project strength. It is unacceptable. When UN ambassador Madeleine Albright asked Colin Powell, "What's the point of having this superb military you're always talking about if we can't use it?"

For General Colin Powell, this most military of politicians who has watched men die, the answer was, and remains, simple. "American GIs are not toy soldiers to be moved around on some global game board."

Colin Powell projected strength and wisdom when questioned by Albright, but when he was confronted by Bush and Cheney, he folded like a cheap suit.
