Subject: You're not seriously running against your old boss and the GOP! ... RU?

  If Hillary were trying to endear me to support her in the 2016 Democratic Primary ... this is not the way to do it. I understand her position, as well as her point. The GOP has already explained (a similar version) to me. I'm not buying their pitch either. Ms. Clinton (then Senator) supported going into Iraq under GOP Bush. Which helped set-up this entire Iraqi side show to begin with. Cost her that 2008 nod as well. So...here we go again. If the phone rings at 3am ... asking for my support ... I'm probably not going to answer the call. To do list: Check my voice mail before 2017. I don't think I'd want to second-guess Commander-in-Chief Obama's military resolve at this point. This mission is far from over ... just ask that bin Laden guy that was on the lamb back in ...when was it 1993-96... ?! Social Politics - 101.
