Surprise, surprise, a bold Democrat finally has told the truth about Iraq, a truth that goes like this: However chaotic it gets, we can't just pack our bags and come home. Even if a Democrat is President, we've got serious business there and "so I think that we will have troops" in Iraq.
Here's the second surprise: The truth-teller was Sen. Hillary Clinton.
It was the good Hillary, the adult who lived in the White House, is a serious student of foreign policy and knows we must project strength to friends and foes. The good Hillary wants to be President, but refuses to pander to a public disgusted with the war. We need to see more of her.
Lately, we've been seeing too much of the bad Hillary. Swept up in the fever of the campaign, that Hillary has been a little puppy, obediently following the irresponsible lefty lurch of rivals Barack Obama and John Edwards. In a game of "can you top this," bad Hillary even promised last month that "if we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as President, I will."
Fortunately, good Hillary was back last week and talked like a confident, responsible leader of the world's only superpower.
