More on pandering

Matt Stoller at MyDD jumps on Hillary's pandering to AIPAC:

Edwards has walked back his rhetoric, but it worries me deeply that he doesn't get the politics at play. Hillary Clinton is even worse, as she won't even acknowledge her own errors in the Iraq fiasco and is replaying the same movie with regards to Iran. The Democrats who cheered her at the convention here, and who believe her Lieberman-esque 'As President I will end the war' line ought to recognize her pandering to the extremists at AIPAC. She has been pro-war, she is currently failing to do anything to stop the war, and she's providing rhetorical cover for Bush to start a new war. That's very very bad. What we need is someone to come out and argue strongly that Bush's baiting of Iranian forces is THE problem, to prevent a Gulf of Tonkin-like situation.
