Guillemette Faure for Rue 89:
"'The Iraqis did not seize the opportunity they were presented.' That's what Hillary Clinton said Sunday night during the Democratic debate. She explained that the American troops had fulfilled their mission. "They've overthrown Saddam and given them elections." And look what the Iraqis did with that ...
This is not the first time that Hillary has made the Iraqis responsible for the debacle in Iraq. Last summer at a conference at the Council of Foreign Relations, she accused the Iraqi government of 'holding American credibility hostage.' According to her, it was time to explain that, 'American forces would not always be there to accommodate their refusal.'
[...]
Democrats and Republicans should have read what well-known military analyst Anthony Cordesman explained as early as last November to Time magazine as he felt this tendency rising: 'When someone lets an elephant loose in a china shop, you don't blame the china shop for the broken dishes.'..."

Forget Hillary and all those other democrats --- except Kucinich who if he's smart will run as an independent with Bloomberg and Hagel and Nader. Otherwise he'll be unceremoniously dumped again just as he was in 2004.
The republicans are as bad or worse. It's hard to believe we all come from the same country.
2008 will be the election year that the two major parties are tanked by the voters. It's not hard to do with some good independent candidates. We need to frag the electoral system that's been controlling everything and screwing
everybody for the past 200 years.
It can be done and will. Most voters are registered independent and, other than bought and paid for party-liners who vote as they're told, the indies can go in any direction they want and they probably will.
It's the kind of revolution that Jefferson always hoped for. 2008:
Democracy Rules!
