Bush quietly advising Hillary Clinton, top Democrats

President Bush is quietly providing back-channel advice to Hillary Rodham Clinton, urging her to modulate her rhetoric so she can effectively prosecute the war in Iraq if elected president. In an interview for the new book “The Evangelical President,” White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten said Bush has “been urging candidates: ‘Don’t get yourself too locked in where you stand right now. If you end up sitting where I sit, things could change dramatically.’ ”

Bolten said Bush wants enough continuity in his Iraq policy that “even a Democratic president would be in a position to sustain a legitimate presence there.”

“Especially if it’s a Democrat,” the chief of staff told The Examiner in his West Wing office. “He wants to create the conditions where a Democrat not only will have the leeway, but the obligation to see it out.”

To that end, the president has been sending advice, mostly through aides, aimed at preventing an abrupt withdrawal from Iraq in the event of a Democratic victory in November 2008.

You dont even need to worry about that though. because a pro-war Republican will be elected anyway. So there isnt any need for your conspiracy theories in this instance.

simple, just stop lending money to the US govt. It's too profitable for the CHinese, Japanese & Arabs to stop doing it.

China will own Fannie Mae, who'se your landlord, (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)?

I don't see anything wrong with bringing the true presidential contenders up to speed and broadening their understanding of what will surely be a major aspect of their leadership. That is how government really works... Back channels.

I'm glad to hear of it.

So why dont they stop us if its so easy? China certainly has plenty of incentive to.

well ask them then. They're happy to see Americans spend needlessly on expensive wars in Iraq.

I did. They just shrugged and started looking at the floor with a confused look on their face.


So you are saying they dont CARE if we invade Iraq?

Well then, it looks like we are all happy...they make money and we get to fight our wars.

Well, China isnt happy about us selling weapons to Taiwan. Apparently our financial debt to them is insufficient leverage to get us to stop.

Clinton was told when he was prez that if we tried anything to problemize them Taiwan then they have missiles aimed at 26 major American cities. I honestly don't believe that Hillary is dumb enough to listen to a dope. Seem like anything whether factual or not is getting printed nowadays.
