Caught that! ROTFL!There was an article posted recently to the effect that Hillary has been trying to establish some credibility on military affairs, and (privately) encouraged Rumsfeld during Operation Iraqi Freedom. But the point of the military spear is a bunch of men--many of them (gasp) white. To ever affirm the military in the way GWB did, Hillary would have to unambiguously affirm American manhood. What are the odds of any Democrat doing that?
By using the military to address our security problems, Bush affirmed the value and virtue of the military. No Democrat alive has the standing to do that. The thing that's really in the Democrats' craw is the fact that where Bush has gone, no Democratic presidential contender could go--even if they were POTUS at this very moment.
