Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Pelosi are the two most prominent women in American politics today — powerfully united by intense disdain for George Bush’s policies in Iraq and elsewhere around the world.
The Democratic antipathy toward Bush, however, disguises a variety of tensions and cracks that could grow in the months ahead if Clinton becomes her party’s nominee, and could become even more interesting if there is another Clinton administration in January 2009.
Clinton’s and Pelosi’s differences of detail cumulatively add up to something large — two distinct strands of thinking about where threats to U.S. national security lie and how aggressive to be in confronting them.
Liberal Democrats will have to get over it: Clinton is an authentic hawk. Her support for the Iraq war resolution five years ago this month, whether motivated by politics or principle or some of both, was not an aberration. Nor is her tough talk against Iran.
Assuming she wraps up the Democratic nomination over the next couple of months, she will almost certainly emphasize these interventionist views.
The temptation for many commentators has been to dismiss Pelosi’s ventures into foreign policy as blunderbuss moves by a new speaker unseasoned on the world stage. She was hammered for her visit to Syria earlier this year to talk peace. She was recently forced by her own members to surrender on the “Armenian Genocide” resolution after Turkey, a U.S. ally with a critical supply line to Iraq, re-called its ambassador in protest.

Democrats think ? Who knew ?
.....powerfully united in low intellect, financial corruption, social elitism, and unjustified self-esteem
....held captive by corrupt money from union - mob lawyers.
Two old socialist hags running the country...I can’t wait. Barf alert needed.
As if buying a box of Crayolas makes you Michelangelo. Just because Her Heinous opportunistically voted for the Iraq war resolution does not make her an authentic hawk.
And they are both witches.
Pelosi is the Wicked Witch of the West
And Clinton is the Wicked Witch of the East.
“Suffer ye not a Witch among ye...”
