As I decide what to cover in this presidential scramble, the all--consuming quest to pile up the biggest pile of cash consistently makes me yawn and heightens my general cynicism about this imperfect process.
Sure, it's the juice that keeps the combatants in the field, and the spinmeisters yakking, but what bugs me is how MUCH attention the quarterly fundraising figures have been given and generally how little attention was paid to candidates reaction tof ISRAEL BOMBING SYRIA.
The attack came hours after a suicide bomber in the Israeli city of Haifa claimed 18 lives. The Isreali's struck back at what they claim was a terrorist training camp, deep inside Syria.
What I found fascinating in the aftermath was Senator Hillary Clinton's strong and vocal support of the Israeli COUNTER-STRIKE and the suggestion that the Syrians were working on their own nuclear facility which leaders in Tel Aviv had every right to knock out.
In a political world, where every statement by those seeking power is dissected and chewed over for a telegraphed message - some are suggesting the Democratic frontrunner has just issued the green light for Isreali pre-emptive airstrikes against nuclear weapons facilities in Iran. That is, if she becomes America's president.
Any thoughts ?

For as long as I can remember, all I've cared about is telling stories about Texans and what matters to them. These days that's pretty much all I do, so I guess I'm livin' the dream. Toss in 2 toddlers and a wife and my life is full to the brim. I'm greedy, I know there are great untold stories out there and I want them all. Help me do it.
