From last night’s Special Report with Brit Hume :

–On the Senate Resolution–

MORT KONDRACKE: This is a resolution says we disagree with what the president wants to do, we want to oppose the status quo, and we’re not going to do anything about it. We do not want them to increase the number of troops, we’re not going to call for withdrawal of any troops. We’re not going to cut off funds. So, it really is the status quo. And everybody acknowledges that the status quo is not working.
BILL KRISTOL: So, they’re passing a resolution, not to repudiate the president’s past policy, but to repudiate his change of strategy. The new strategy which includes a surge of troops into Baghdad and in to Anbar, to try to protect the population and turn the momentum around in Iraq. So the Democrats are in the ridiculous position, in my view, of erasing the status quo, denying — trying to weaken the president’s ability to change strategy in a way that is incoming commander wants to do. General Petraeus, and they just voted to confirm, unanimously.
JUAN WILLIAMS: So, what could they act on, Bill? Could they cut off the funds, would that stop the surge? I don’t think so. They don’t have that power.KONDRACKE: But they don’t even have votes for that. They have nowhere near the votes to cut off funds right now.
WILLIAMS: Right, because, essentially, they’re afraid to say what they think.

–On Hillary’s Politics–

WILLIAMS: I think people are reluctant to accept, but . . . she’s far to the right of most of the other candidates. HUME: What direction does she appear to be going in, though?WILLIAMS: Well, for the moment, I think she’s trying to be a stronger and more strident voice in opposition of the president’s policies, make it clear that she is not one who is standing by silently, trying to get out of that posture.
KRISTOL: Look, the war is the key issue, and on this issue, something big has happened this month. Which is the Democrats have gone left. They are the anti-war party. There were the picture of moderation . . . in September and October. [Now] the Dems have gone wild, they’re embracing their anti-war sentiments and their anti-war grassroots and short-term . . . Hillary’s moving along with them. She’s trying — they’re hopscotching each other. You know, Edwards goes here, then Obama goes here, Hillary goes there and it’s dangerous. It’s dangerous. The country will not, in 2008, elect an anti-war party, I don’t think.
