And the primary person on his team responsible for the data was George Tenet, head of the CIA, and held over in that post from the Clinton Administration.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, I wonder how much time Hillary spent looking at the data -- the log books of the Senate room where the documents were kept would show this. Perhaps she spent very little time there, and would have been embarassed by a fact which implies whe was lax in her senatorial war decision duties.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's all academic now, since the surge has worked, Obama is the nominee, and is now moving to the center on the Iraq issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628325.post-66655803769977409832008-04-02T11:27:00.000-07:002008-04-02T11:27:00.000-07:00Actually, I don't believe she, or obama, needs to ...Actually, I don't believe she, or obama, needs to appeal to republicans.
