do much against Obama. Obama was against IWR while Edwards more than signed on. The "have we learned nothing? I was wrong" argument has to be directed against Clinton. It has to be masterful considering and totally wasted on Obama.

The other dilemma is that Edwards has been brought in line with the propaganda justification for singling Iran out as an imminent crisis. Backtrack on that and Israel? he emphasizes diplomacy as does Obama. He is partially co-opted on the Iranian "crisis" being legitimate, which Hillary can not easily point out without possibly damaging herself.

If this comes up in the debate don't expect much dissatisfaction. It is a Democratic Party, recently restuffed, bed of thorns. Thanks pragmatic, idiot Dems.

On the other hand, Edwards to do anything must break out of this Democratic parallel universe where Bush's fortunes and hers go sweetly hand in hand while the world burns. He must, without intending to win our little DU world of ballots, become more like us, and Kucinich.

Stealth and pragmatism are the disastrous comfortable answer to media suppression and propaganda and Bush crimeland, no matter how hard it is to fight them head on.
