A top strategist for House Democrats, who declined to be identified

...but is taking orders from McAuliffe and Clinton ...

This is like what's going on in Orlando. Can anyone be surprised at the Democrats' dishonesty?

Interesting BBC analysis of Chirac, and whether his efforts to be forceful like DeGaulle are going to backfire:

Mr Chirac so far seems unscathed. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. And he hopes to come out of the Iraq crisis as a champion of peace, a champion of Europe and a strong French leader.

But he has broken a lot of political furniture, and the bills may come his way soon. He has earned the hostility of many leaders in eastern Europe who will soon have a much bigger voice. Some will never forget his insults. He has offended some current EU leaders, who resent his claim to speak for Europe and his worsening of the rift with the US.

He has sorely angered the US, which is liable to mistrust the French Government for many years to come. Retribution could come in the form of a US boycott of French goods, sidelining France in any post-war settlement in Iraq, or a re-casting of America's international alliances to downgrade the role of France. link
