Andrew Sullivan quotes Matt Yglesias.
Clinton's "street cred" on national security consists, of course, of being massively wrong on the most important national security issue of her career. Paradoxically, a lot of folks find her massive wrongness on this hugely important issue reassuring. ...
There's an echo of this reported by Michael Crowley at TNR.
I'm wondering if anyone has thought to compare Hillary's campaign to... the Iraq war. Both were planned with a sense of entitlement. Both assumed a cakewalk, followed by a coronation. In each case that thinking led to similar management and personnel problems. Only late in the game did Bush/Hillary develop a last-ditch "surge" strategy that, while effective, also engendered extreme political opposition.
There's also an ironic link back to Hillary's claim that she's the best qualified to manage national security, when actually her style resembles Bush's.
