Hilary is probably still seething over having been upstaged by George Bush in Baghdad. After careful preparation, Hilary was set for a grand entrance with cameras rolling to boost (?) the morale of the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and thus enhance her status as a female Presidential candidate tuned into the military. She probably envisioned a version of Margaret Thatcher or perhaps gaining the reputation of being America's Attilla the Hen. But then George swooped down into Baghdad and was greeted by a thunderous ovation from the troops with whom he shared Thanksgiving dinner. A master stroke of genius by our leader. An element of politics?? Sure — and very well done.
Naturally, Hilary's friends in the left leaning press condemned the Bush Thanksgiving visit as a publicity stunt motivated purely by politics — sort of like landing on the aircraft carrier. They even insinuated that the whole plan was conceived to discredit Hilary – despite the fact the the Bush trip to Baghdad had been in the planning stages for months. No doubt, they were highly ticked off that Hilary was pushed off the front pages and buried somewhere between the comics and the classified ads. Couldn't happen to a nicer lady. The anti-Bush folks just will not concede that he is our Commander in Chief. Thank goodness he is!
The Iraq affair is messy and will have episodes of bad news in the months ahead. If there is one thing we don't need it is short sighted politicos traveling to Iraq to tell the troops they should not be there in the first place. The Iraqi insurgents love to hear that kind of stuff from American politicians. The only thing the Clintons have to offer this country in a military sense is Bill's successful evasion of the draft. The best thing Hilary can do is stay at home and keep her trap shut. Fat chance!
