Hilary’s behavior is of course designed to gain her the White House. She has realized the majority of the body politic has a very short term memory, and that same majority responds favorably when it hears what it wants to hear. The personal danger to her is that her all consuming desire to be President may destroy her ability to think rationally. Her own memory of previous positions may make acceptance of new positions problematic for her thought process, and may even degrade her thought process.

Of course Hillary is lying. With any of her public statements the question is not _if_ she is lying, but _who_ she is lying to. In this case, she’s either lying to her core antiwar supporters, or to the larger general public. I actually think in this case she’s lying to her base, because once she gets the nomination they will be of no value to her at all.

First, I think Hillary’s remarks are mostly dishonest, but always deliberate, with ample room to wiggle out when she – or some toady – clarifies for the unwashed. So I try to account for them within that paradigm. Here, she wants to appear tough to appeal to people who think Al Quida et all want to kill us (‘the surge tactics are working’) but far enough left to still get the Daily Kos endorsement ( ‘but she disagrees w/the tactics’). But you go far to make a good case that she may have slipped this time and made an honest mistake instead of a dishonest one.
