Smells to me like their internal polling tells the Dems to lay off the military bashing......
Clearly Hillary will benefit most from this for once truthful reporting. Obama and the others are falling all over themselves about how quickly they will pull out the troops with ridiculous time lines like March 2008 or even by the end of 2007. Hillary is the only one of the Dems who looks presidential and if the war is going better she can say well we can’t pull out just yet.
Marching orders from the DNC and Clinton campaign following their recent debates. Manipulation pure and simple.
(hillary’s back room talk with New York Times}
“I want to thank all of you for demonizing the Bush Administration in the past but I’m going to start campaigning in a new direction and that is talking more positive about the war on terror. We have to appear on the right side of this issue before the election, so I want you to take the lead and start reporting positive results.
I have talked with ranking members of my party and they agree they will also start talking positive about Iraq and if we keep talking long enough and frequently enough it will appear to the general public, we have always been the party on the right side of this issue.
We have a good full year to spread this propaganda and as, you know, it works. Before the year is out, we will have everyone believing we always were the backers of this war, just as we did with wefare reform, we’ll take the credit.
Thank you all and you are dismissed.
Just as if they were with us all along!
Liberals looked long and hard and realized they didn’t want to give birth to a loss - one that would mark them for decades. They’re nothing if not manipulative.

Since it's the New York Slimes we're dealing with here, the first question we should ask is which side is "we" to them.
