The case for Clinton…

Open letter from former admirals and generals supporting Clinton. This is particularly important to me given what’s now unraveling in Iraq. (Please click on that link; it’s Juan Cole’s assessment.) National security and foreign policy are the topics I research and study most (when not in a general election primary dogfight). Obama simply does not stack up. Read Joseph C. Wilson, more from him here, as well my interview with Wilson and Valerie Plame; or see Larry Johnson, as well as Pat Lang if you need more.

Read Paul Krugman when it comes to Clinton v. Obama on the economy:

“Mrs. Clinton, we’re assured by sources right and left, tortures puppies and eats babies. But her policy proposals continue to be surprisingly bold and progressive.”
