So I have seen three segments from Fox coming down hard against the war PLUS Glenn Beck

and Pat Robertson. This all seems fishy to me. Could they be pivoting to suddenly be in the position to start attacking Hillary on the war and running someone anti war who would appeal to the moderates and even liberals who were against the war? Lets face it, the war vote is probably what doomed Hillary last time and why Obama got the nomination. It's Hillary's Achilles heel. Why the sudden big change of heart? I do know the Koch Brothers were against the war or at least turned against it. What could they be up to?

You will have to forgive me for not trusting Fox news. Hope I am not offending anyone here for my suspicions.

Not when John McCain wants to bomb bomb Iran, or when any other of the "muscular" conservatives think we're being too timid. It's only when a Democratic president may (though he hasn't) decide to do it that they suddenly start clutching at their pearls.

If Obama proposed opening the door for old ladies, they'd find a righteously indignant reason (heavy on the "right&quot reason to oppose it.
