I keep trying to keep out of politics, but the upcoming presidential campaign keeps drawing me in. So from time-to-time I'm going to jump in and say something. If you don't want to read what I have to say on the subject, please skip anything you see here under the category of "politics."
According to the AP, Hillary Clinton says she thinks President Bush should pull all troops out of Iraq before the next president takes office. She argues it would be irresponsible for him to leave the mess for the next president to clean up.
I find what she has to say surprisingly lame. If a candidate for president wants to talk about Iraq and irresponsibility, there are far better topics than suggesting Bush tidy up the mess as a courtesy to how successor. And in fact, most Americans, on either side of the aisle, seem to understand that the US has stepped into a lobster trap of a situation.
A lobster trap is something that is very easy to get into and nearly impossible to navigate out of.
I for one, hope this roblem is solved soon. Extremely soon. But for Hillary to say, "Let George do it," makes me doubt that she has a clue what she will do if she inherits the situation. As the NY Times says in their finest editorial language: "We are not impressed."
