"Slick Hilly"?

Bob Herbert in today's New York Times:
Mrs. Clinton is just one of the many supporters of the war who should have known better from the beginning, and who are now (with the wheels falling off the Iraqi cart and public support for the war plummeting) engaged in the tricky ritual of rationalization.

...Despite the rationalizations now suddenly on the lips of so many, the problem with the current war in Iraq is not the way it was conducted, but the fact of the war itself. It was launched amid blinding, billowing clouds of deceit. There was never any legitimate reason for the war. Iraq had not attacked the U.S. and there was no imminent threat of attack.

  1. Are we even looking for Osama Bin Laden anymore? I really think the war in Iraq is about lining Dubya and his cronie's pockets with oil. The price keeps going up, and who's getting richer by the minute? Record prices for gasoline, record profits for oil companies. Something is wrong.
