PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS:

● Shot: Chris Matthews Asks Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Why Are So Many Democrats War Hawks?’

—PJ Media, today.

● Chaser: “On May 1, 2003, Richard Perle advised, in a USA Today Op-Ed, ‘Relax, Celebrate Victory.’ The same day, exactly five years ago, President Bush, dressed in a flight suit, landed on the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and declared an end to major military operations in Iraq — with the now-infamous ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner arrayed behind him in the war’s greatest photo op. Chris Matthews on MSNBC called Bush a ‘hero’ and boomed, ‘He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics.’ He added: ‘Women like a guy who’s president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It’s simple.’”
