"There is, in fact, very little today that separates Mrs. Clinton from the rest of the Democratic field running for president when it comes to Iraq. She was right on Sunday night when she said, "The differences among us are minor [but] the differences between us and the Republicans are major."
Despite the obvious truth here, hardened, wizened, enraged doves don't like this. They want Hillary to bow and scrape and apologize for her vote. They claim to want this because they are hungry for "authenticity." Hogwash. They want it because they want what single-issue interest groups always want, which is for a candidate to abase himself or herself before them as a mark of their power and importance.
But Hillary cannot and will not apologize for that vote. Why? As I explained in an earlier column, an apology would be the biggest gift she could give a Republican rival. "Sen. Clinton said she was mistaken in casting the biggest vote of her life," the attack-ad would say. "What other gigantic mistakes will she make if she becomes president?"
Hillary wants to cast the war as a mistake - but one made solely by Bush and the Republicans. And she is working overtime to cover her tracks by aping Billy Martin's dust-ruffling footwork.
"I don't want anybody in America to be confused," Hillary said on Sunday night.
Sure. And I am Marie of Rumania."

The only way creatures like Mrs. Bill stand a snowballs chance in hell is to confuse as many people some of the time as is humanly possible. Mrs. Bill has never had an original thought in her entire life, is fooled easily, but remains steadfast in her high opinion of herself. In this, she stand alone. Her loon-atic followers believe her to be a useful pawn and little else. Frightened into incalculable fits of hysteria with the belief that a Republican will sooner or later send THEM to fight a war, the girls of the little pinky, otherwise known as modern day liberals, will vote for anyone they can cower into surrendering at all costs.
