it's even funnier when realize Obama was forced by the Iraqis to actually follow one of his campaign promises.

The Iraqi government didn't want to renew the complete legal immunity part of the status of forces agreement which led to US having to mostly leave Iraq.

The New Thing THis Week is that Chelsea called the Secret Service pigs and Hillary did not immediately indict her into Federal Bruise My oval office Wtih a Broomhandle Prison

http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/10174-chelsea-clinton-called-secret-service-pigs-says-her-parents-did-too-book-claims

quote:

A firestorm is swirling around Chelsea Clinton after reports that she called the Secret Service "pigs" when she lived in the White House.

The startling account of what Chelsea allegedly said when she was a teenager came from author Kate Andersen Brower in her just-released book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.

Brower told INSIDE EDITION, "Chelsea Clinton was on the phone with a friend and a Secret Service agent was there and waiting to bring her to Sidwell Friends, a private school she went to in D.C., and she said, 'wait a minute, the pigs are here.'"

The book quotes the former White House florist Ronn Payne as saying he witnessed Chelsea on the phone with a girlfriend when a Secret Service agent came into her room to take her to her private school.

warren is probably not nearly as hawkish as hillary, but i think mainly she just doesn't really care about foreign policy nearly as much as she does domestic kitchen table issues. which is probably why would end up being pulled farther to the center or the right on foreign policy if she were president.

edit: although i think hillary's hawkish views are overstated on the left anyway, it's not like she is george w bush
