The Crouch

This article by Patrick Healy nicely demonstrates the political dynamics that make Hillary Clinton so unappealing to me. She has such a strong and not-especially-deserved reputation for liberalism, that her primary political task must always be trying to run away from progressive politics in order to broaden her appeal rather than using her personal qualities to broaden the appeal of progressive politics. It's also, however, an infuriating example of journalism that simply equates the concepts of support for the military, knowledge of military affairs, and right-wing positions about the use of force.

There's no indication, however, that the war clowns at the Victory Caucus have any actual knowledge whereof they speak. Nor is it "anti-military" to suggest it's not a good idea to stick the United States Army with the task of performing an impossible job in Iraq.
