But the defense secretary got strong support from an unexpected source,

I am now reading Michiavelli's "The Prince", and it is really scary how Hillary is acting out his advice......Power is the goal and the only rule is that you must succeed at any cost. Say only what will curry favor with the people you need and it doesn't have to be the truth as long as it brings power......

There is an interesting tactic these democrats are using and, I believe, it shows their desperation. Both she and John Kerry have made statements to the effect that no one has the right to say they are unpatriotic for opposing the administration and they will fight the notion, etc., etc. Yet no one of national stature has ever said they are unpatriotic. (For me, she is the personification of unpatriotism.)

So her tactic is to set up a charge and then deny it, in essence, framing the question and the answer herself. In debating, I believe this is called the "straw man" tactic.

Yet, if you ask her a direct question, she will avoid answering it. Remember her "listening tour"? It was "I'm going around showing my face, but I am listening, therefore I cannot be expected to answer any questions."

I am sure we will see extentions and variations of this tactic as her presidential campaign ramps up.

Mr. Morris argues she's electable in 2008.

That's the best evidence I've seen that she can't win. But I suppose Morris has to be right someday about something. I just hope that when he is, someone is around to give me CPR.

Hillary's dilemma is that Bush currently looks unbeatable, so she'd like to wait until 2008, but she's definitely beatable in 2006 (at least if Rudy runs), and she'd hate to have to run as a washed-up former Senator.

It is folly to underestimate the Clintons. They will do anything - anything - to get what they want.

Hillary needs to be defeated in 2006. If she is reelected for a second senatorial term, and is then tapped to be the Presidential nominee for 2008, it's quite possible that Bill Clinton could run to take her place in the U.S. Senate. Gov. Pataki's present term of office ends January 1, 2007. If he is defeated by a Democrat in 2006, or decides not to run for a 4th term, a Democrat could be controlling the Governor's Mansion and appoint Bill Clinton to replace his wife. And then, Bill Clinton could run for that office in any special election. Chances are he'd win because of New York City. As well, there is always the possibility that Bill Clinton could run for the office of Governor of New York State. When will this nightmare end? We've still got Chelsea to deal with and whatever little curmudgeons she produces.

Clintonoma is a cancer on the body politic. Hitlery, aka Hellarewe, aka Hillary Rotten Clinton, aka Mrs. Bill Clinton, is dangerously malignant.

"Hillary Goes to War"

Here's hoping she goes down in flames. Perhaps even by friendly fire of other DemocRATS.

Mr. Morris argues she's electable in 2008.

When I pray for the President and our country each day, I also ask the Lord to thwart her plans.
