Crowley on Clinton

I believe this link to Michael Crowley's article on Hillary Clinton's national security views should work for non-subscribers and I encourage everyone to read it. It's not some kind of hit-job on Clinton and, frankly, I have no real idea what Crowley thinks about foreign policy (TNR doesn't seem deeply invested in the concept of attacking Democrats for being too hawkish as an editorial stance) and he certainly doesn't say in the article.

Obviously, on some level I'm just jealous because Clinton came to Peter Beinart's book party and I doubt I can get her for mine. Nor, I think, will Mark Penn be willing to play host.

According to the Wonkette link, Beinart has an agent.

Do you have an agent? If you do, it's time to upgrade, if not, it's time to get one.

Don't worry - I'll come to your book party. Provided it's within walking distance.

Dude, you don't want Hillary at your party anyway. The Secret Service frowns on drunken knife-fighting.

We're still waiting to hear how your book advance matches up to Beinart's $$$.

Why even publish a book when you know that Jonah Goldberg's literary bombshell is imminent?

When I publish my book, I'll throw a very serious book party that has never been thrown with such care.

why on earth would you want her there at your book party. ewww.
I'd rather have people I liked. and respected. I don't feel either to Hillary.

Crowley sounds confused about the Democrats based on this snippet. How is this statement so unthinkable for a Democrat?

"There is a refrain ... that we should intervene with force only when we face splendid little wars that we surely can win, preferably by overwhelming force in a relatively short period of time. To those who believe we should become involved only if it is easy to do, I think we have to say that America has never and should not ever shy away from the hard task if it is the right one."

These words, unthinkable for any Democrat to utter today, are revealing of the mindset that led her to support George W. Bush's confrontation with Iraq, a policy choice that has steadily corroded her presidential ambitions.
