Sen. Hillary Clinton's opponents are fond of saying that her presidency would be little more than a continuation of husband Bill's two terms in the Oval Office. But an equally persuasive case can be made that John McCain's election would be validation of President George W. Bush's Iraq war, a centerpiece of his two terms. It has been said that Bush and McCain "have forged a powerful bond as the two leading champions of the Iraq war and the decision a year ago to send more troops, according to associates of both men." Given this symbiotic relationship, it is ironic that the Conservative Political Action Conference was at best lukewarm to Sen. McCain's appearance but greeted President Bush as a conquering hero.
