“CIRCLING COMMUNIST WITCH”

“Greetings from the Hillary-hating right sector of your fan base.
I realize the focus of your piece is political strategy and politicians’ efforts to manage public perceptions of where they stand on the political spectrum. Nevertheless, the question of Hillary’s sincerity as an Iraq hawk deserves more than passing mention. There’s no maybe about it; her posturing in this regard lacks any shred of real (as opposed to political) credibility. I’m reminded of the age-old Soviet clamoring for “world peace.”
Yes, her attempt at deception concerning her views on Iraq poses a danger — which I suppose is an underlying theme of your piece. If she maintains this strategy well into a Bush second term, it will be wrenching, yet amusing, to watch the establishment-Left, root-for-failure-in-Iraq media trumpet her hawkishness to aid her 2008 candidacy.
Let’s hope few voters are so inept at the identification of flying creatures as to mistake this circling communist witch for a national security hawk.” – more friendly feedback on the Letters Page.
