"I guess you think that's a bonehead play." - Leo to Tom in Miller's Crossing
This murderous bloodbath we've made in the middle east is possibly the most bonehead play in the history of our young, bonehead-play-prone nation. It'd be nice to blame just Bush. But as anyone with a memory or Google could tell you, Congress acted as Bush's wheel man in this violent, massive smash and grab.
On November 13, 2005, in the Washington Post, John Edwards admitted his culpability in this horrific disaster. Here's how he spelled it out: "I was wrong."
Three words. But Hillary won't say those words. She's kind of like Fonzie.
What's more, she won't exactly say we're not going to be in Iraq for 100 years. She can't really say how long we'll need to be there. But it might be, oh, a hundred years.
So how, exactly, is she different from McCain?
And how can anybody who wants to beat McCain vote for her in a primary against a guy who minces no words about Iraq - or much else.
