Dick Cheney: Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia

I'm a little late as this has been making the rounds for most of the day, but check out the wisdom that Dick Cheney was dropping circa 1994:

On that tip, both Edwards and Hillary came out with statements this week about our War Czar's moment of tru -er- break with message discipline. I didn't see any statements on the web pages of other candidates.

I'm actually pretty surprised at Hillary. Issues affecting young people and clarity on the war are two of her weakest areas. The statement isn't particularly hard hitting, but for what it's worth, she was the first to issue any statement at all.

Unfortunately, this is also fodder for Rangel to pull out his perennial draft resolution. I understand where he's coming from - it is incredibly unfair that lower income kids shoulder the country's military burden. Especially if we're going to go jaunting off on elective adventures. Yet he's pulled this out so many times that it's more of a joke than an effective strategy for anything.
