Once a beltway hack and a tool, always a beltway hack and a tool...
From a typically shallow piece today, where she hails Trump and pal, tinfoil hat Alex Jonser loon Roger Stone, as being the new "Rat Pack"
"Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk"
You can actually envision a foreign policy debate between Trump and Clinton that sounds oddly like the one Obama and Clinton had in 2008, with Trump playing Obama, preening about his good judgment on Iraq, wanting an end to nation-building and thinking he could have a reset with Russia.

The woman who mocked Gore's suit colors and shilled endlessly for Dubya in 2000 is trying her best to set the false narrative that Donald was arm in arm with the Dixie Chicks and Michael Moore in 2003, opposing a war that he actually outright supported and called a "tremendous success" that year.
All the Times needs to do now is trot out Judy Miller, and we'll be in full deja vu.

We rate this statement False.
Donald Trump did not warn the Iraq War would 'destabilize the Middle East' before it started.
