Is Hillary tougher than Bush?
Does she make Margaret Thatcher look like Mrs. Doubtfire?
Read this and wonder yourself, a description of action from her speech to the CFR:
"The day after the Saddam news you could see Hillary Clinton in New York moving herself inexorably into the Democratic void in a policy address at
the Council on Foreign Relations. More hawkish than Bush on the need to ramp up the troop numbers in Iraq, practical about the impending trouble next
July when the possibly premature transfer of power follows troop reduction in the spring, shrewdly caring about the need to promote maternal care in
Afghanistan, sure of her leonine power, she morphed her pinstripe pantsuit before our eyes into battle fatigues and flak jacket. Planted solidly
behind the lectern with only intermittent reference to her notes she exuded the sense of a well-filled mind and life. Maybe not yet a credible
commander-in-chief but at least a Democratic Major Barbara. Distantly one could hear the voice of Maggie Thatcher during the Gulf War in 1990,
commanding Bush 41 not to "go wobbly." She will wait this one out. Self-discipline, not self-doubt. "
So some questions; Is Hillary true to Democratic ideals and will Democrats be shocked to find out what she is really like if she becomes President in
2008 (and will they even care many of them, being so desparate for power that they are?)?
