Larry, what do you think about this quote? HILLARY CLINTON: Well and I respect that because clearly he is the commander on the ground, but I can only tell you there are other assessments from, you know, very expert military analysts who have worked in counter insurgencies that are the exact opposite. So what our goal is, is to take all of this incoming data and sort it out. Is it true that there are varying analysis, and McChrystal's is just one component of the overall strategy? Of course, he's the General, but I'm curious about her statement. Very interesting. Larry, what do you think about this quote?

Where not looking at 5-10 yrs ahead have you seen how many soldiers have been killed recently from the States, UK and other European countries?? While he twiddles his thumbs and goes on a TV walkabout many more of our troops are dying!! I am sure its O who cannot see the wood for the trees. I doubt its General McChrystal he has years of experience and sure he’s had long enough to assess the situation on the ground. Plus you need to leave Hillary out of this she works for O she has to support his stance. Wait a moment what about the troops that are out there now?

I did not read the Politico piece but agree with Obama's assessment: Bill Clinton [for all his personal flaws] was/is the real deal, a real-time political genius. I tend to think that's why the right-wing hated him so. He was a political conjurer that they simply could not slay. And God knows, they tried. Was he perfect? Hardly. That being said, despite the Lewinsky mess and all the other sexual misadventurers, Bill Clinton is still the best politician and orator of my living memory. He absolutely stands out from all the pretenders to the throne. He was a good president. I think he had the potential of being a great president. I guess history will make the final call.
