Wow. She talks about how "I" would take responsibility for past mistakes and how "I" would offer a new way forward. I'd say the gauntlet has been thrown down in front of her boss. It will be interesting to watch...Obama will have to decide if she's more dangerous as SoS or a bigger threat on the outside. LOL. That could be a tougher decision than Afghanistan! Welcome back, Mark!

Which is why I believe she intends to do exactly that, and in 2012, too. Hillary is a political animal, and she has to be more than a little miffed that the Obama machine took down the Clinton cabal so effortlessly. No way she walks away now, and I expect her days at Foggy Bottom are numbered, as she needs to start distancing herself from Obama, and soon. Let's just hope that by 2012, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc. have so damaged the party brand that even a RINO like Romney or Huck could beat her handily. -Dave “Hillary Clinton has flatly said she’ll never run for president again.”

It's good to have a new item at FinkelBlog. I posted it here because there is no media-criticism angle that would justify posting it at NewsBusters, where I've been posting most of my work.

If he doesn't, he will be thoroughly trashed by the MSM and made to look like the bully-thug he has been portrayed as. Meanwhile, Gates will have the bully pulpit and a megaphone the size of Montana. And who wants that??? Crowley has to attend; however he must refrain from making any statements until Gates has first spoken. Whomever speaks first will be the most vulnerable. Crowley has to be who he is, the consummate pro. He must not get 'wrapped-up' in the moment, get enamored by sweet-talk, or trapped by 'gotcha' questions. He needs to be polite, cordial, say very little, and most important.................RUN don't walk back to Boston as soon as possible!!! Obama and Gates are slick PR machines that know every move and will poison his water at every opportunity. If Crowley understands that, he'll be fine. Crowley HAS to attend the meeting.

I said elsewhere that this would be the finale: http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-AU517_peace4_20071126114300.jpg And let's speculate on WHO that would favor. It's why he wants to do this...once again, it's all about HIM.
