The war in Iraq was a diversion from Afghanistan and al Qaeda. We are seeing the effects of that in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. Al Qaeda's resurgent in all of those places. Now a powerful force in Pakistan and stronger than before the Iraq war. Al Qaeda are prime suspects in the assassination. That's what Axelrod said basically.
Did a force authorization for Iraq lead to those things? Yes, I would say so. Wes Clark and others have said so all along. Clinton, Edwards and the rest of the candidates who voted Yes to the IWR helped bring along the security situation in Pakistan which ended Bhuto's life today.
They should be held accountable.
Edwards ahead of Hillary on that charge. She at least voted for an amendment to limit the authority to one year. He voted against that and every other alternative amendment. He had access to the complete intelligence as he sat on the Intelligence Committee. He co-sponsored the vile giveaway of war authority to Bush. If there was an author of "this biggest foreign policy disaster in our generation" in the Senate, Edwards was it, among the candidates, not Hillary.
I'm not a Clinton supporter, but you should get your facts straight and apply accountability in a just manner.
Patrick Murphy is a great admirer of Wesley Clark. If Clark had run this time, Murphy would most likely have endorsed him. There is no reason for you to disrespect General Clark. Patrick Murphy wouldn't appreciate it.
Oh, geez. This is the guy who was in charge of all those billions of dollars gone missing when Bremer was running the coalition authority. Edwards should maybe rethink this choice of surrogate.
Maybe they heard wrong. Maybe Edwards misspoke. I happen to know one of those posters very well and she is one of the most honest and fair DUers you could find.
The problem with Edwards supporters is they think everyone is a Hillary supporter. That's okay, some days I'm called an Obama supporter. Some days a Richardson supporter, Kucinich, Dodd or Gravel supporter. I don't mind.

Thanks very much.
Where are you seeing the polling data? Thanks.
Clark works hard for the Dems. In 2006 I think he campaigned in more than 90 districts, a lot of them red.

Edwards - meh

In Michigan it was the Governor and the UAW, both. That's where Edwards came in.
Edwards is the master at playing dirty pool behind the scenes. Funny how Edwards supporters throw this rock at their own glass house.
Oh, geez. This is the guy who was in charge of all those billions of dollars gone missing when Bremer was running the coalition authority. Edwards should maybe rethink this choice of surrogate.
He's earned it. I am happy for Dodd.
What is the problem as you see it with Axelrod?
Maybe they heard wrong. Maybe Edwards misspoke. I happen to know one of those posters very well and she is one of the most honest and fair DUers you could find.
