Well, it turns out that you don’t have to wait for tomorrow for video of, or at least about, Democrats:
- Here is a brief video commentary by a Washington Post blogger talking about the Iraq issue as it affects Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The text is somewhat more substantial. He promises to do the same for Obama tomorrow.
- But you don’t have to wait for that either. Today, Obama rolled out a major new policy statement on Iraq. Here is the text of his speech, and here is the full release.
I haven’t had time today to read or digest any of this stuff today — I was offered the chance to join a conference call with Obama on the subject, but was too tied up with previous commitments — so why don’t y’all dig into it and offer your thoughts? (A quick skim of the Obama statement wasn’t promising, I’m sorry to say. The "plan" part was stuff I’ve heard before, and it mostly looked like a vehicle for repeating over and over, in case you missed it before, that OBAMA OPPOSED THE WAR IN IRAQ FROM THE BEGINNING.
Finally — still mining the rich vein of e-mail I don’t have time to read, much less think about — here we have Chris Dodd (remember him?) taking shots at both Clinton and Obama (and why? because they actually have a chance of winning the nomination, unlike a certain white-haired gentleman I could name). Just click on the headline to get the full release text:
DODD BLASTS OBAMA AND CLINTON FOR TAKING STEP BACKWARD, LACK OF CLARITY ON IRAQ
That’s all for now.
