Re: "They Follow Everything That I Say." [Victor Davis Hanson]
Bill's narcissism must be rubbing off. Hillary predicted that if we would just elect her, then Middle-East oil prices would drop ("I predict to you, the oil-producing countries will drop the price of oil" ).
Now she has another first-person claim about the surge—which she both opposed and then slandered its architect, Gen. Petraeus ("suspension of disbelief")—that Hillary herself, not the U.S. military, explains the success of the strategy:
And I believe in large measure because the Iraqi government, they watch us, they listen to us. I know very well that they follow everything that I say. And my commitment to begin withdrawing our troops in January of 2009 is a big factor, as it is with Senator Obama, Senator Edwards, those of us on the Democratic side.
After single-handedly solving the oil crisis and winning the war, can we expect next similar cosmic claims that she invented the Internet?
