Hillary Watch

What are we going to do about Hillary?

Look at what she did last week:

The FDA approved over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill -- because of her.

She met with Ned Lamont and lent him her political advisor, Howard Wolfson, for his campaign.

That's two big ones.

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one big one left: Iraq.

Hillary was wrong on Iraq. She was wrong to want to go there, and she's continued to be wrong. She currently takes the utterly-lame, testosterone-driven position that we should have gone in with more troops (as if it would have mattered).

Will she ever say she was wrong about Iraq? Probably not. But the polls show that America wants out of Iraq, so can Hillary be far behind? The answer is no, my friends. You will find her wherever the wind blows. So sooner or later she is going to call for some sort of plan for a withdrawal ... over a long period of time ... that involves troops on the perimeter .... and help from our former allies .... blah blah blah. She will stand next to two retired generals, for logistical support. She will call once again for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. She will find her way to a Friedmanesque position: she will say that no more American lives should be lost in this unwinnable war. Maybe she will even get lucky -- although lucky is probably not the right word: maybe the war in Iraq will finally morph into something everyone can agree is a civil war, which will give her and all the other pusillanimous members of Congress a way to call for withdrawal without seeming to undercut the poor soldiers whose lives have been ruined by this war.

So let's pretend she figures it out.

Let's pretend she finds a way to the right side on Iraq.

What are those of us who believe that she will do anything to win, who believe she doesn't really take a position unless it's completely safe, who believe she has taken the concept of triangulation and pushed it to a geometric level never achieved by anyone including her own husband, who can't stand her position on the war, who don't trust her as far as you can spit - what are we going to do if she ends up in agreement with us?

It's going to be an interesting moment for us Hillary Resisters.

And we're not going to be able to say we're not supporting her because she can't win.

Because let's face it, we don't have a candidate who can win.

It's going to be an interesting moment.
