RUSH: All right, from Landstuhl, Germany: “US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton…” By the way, she canceled the two o’clock press event today, two o’clock Eastern Time because of the announcement by Barack Obama that he’s going to form his presidential exploratory committee for the purposes of deciding by February 10th whether he’s going to seek the office of dictator — president! — of the United States of America. She canceled the press conference, but she said yesterday… Now, get this. “U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Monday that Afghanistan has made some progress, but the country is ‘tottering’ and needs more troops to finish off Taliban and al-Qaida forces…. ‘I?m encouraged by the progress in Afghanistan, but Afghanistan is tottering,’ Clinton said. ‘We?ve got to get more support there to make sure we try to finish off the Taliban and al-Qaida that are regrouping, coming across the border. We expect a big spring offensive.'”
You know, it’s a long shot, a pipe dream, actually, but I wish the Bush administration would call ’em on it. These are just nothing more than high-powered photo-ops at the expense of our troops.
