Hilary Jumps Ship....
Clinton Denounces Cheney for Terrorism Comments
WNYC Newsroom
NEW YORK, NY August 11, 2006 —Senator Hillary Clinton has denounced Vice President Dick Cheney for saying terrorists would be emboldened by the results of Connecticut's Democratic Primary.
REPORTER: That's where an anti-war candidate defeated Senator Joe Lieberman.
CLINTON: I don't take anything he says seriously anymore. I think that he has been a very counterproductive even destructive force in our country and I am very disheartened by the failure of leadership from the president and vice president.
REPORTER: During a campaign stop in the Bronx yesterday, Clinton accused the administration of shortchanging New York of its homeland security money.
A spokeswoman for the vice president said his comments on the importance of a strong national security strategy "speak for themselves."
Just as I was just thinking that more pro-war candidates will be abandoning Iraq now that there's a new war to support,this came up on Eschaton... Just like they forgot Afghanistan when Iraq started up.
They've milked Iraq of all of the blood they can suck out it, now off to Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

Just when you thought they could slink no lower.
Wease,
Check out the latest from Sy Hersh in the New Yorker on Israel v. Hezbollah.

Here's an excerpt:
Cheney’s office supported the Israeli plan, as did Elliott Abrams, a deputy national-security adviser, according to several former and current officials. (A spokesman for the N.S.C. denied that Abrams had done so.) They believed that Israel should move quickly in its air war against Hezbollah. A former intelligence officer said, “We told Israel, ‘Look, if you guys have to go, we’re behind you all the way. But we think it should be sooner rather than later—the longer you wait, the less time we have to evaluate and plan for Iran before Bush gets out of office.’ ”
