Hillary
Clinton departed the State Department -- in those words of crooner
Frank Sinatra -- softly. Her departure path is being strewn with palm
fronds by a press corps that has always found her to be good ink and
good think.
We should, at this leave-taking, give credit where credit is due. She was part of the Obama team's successful raid on Abbottabad, Pakistan. That raid was a masterpiece of military and diplomatic coordination. She was certainly right not to tell the Pakistanis what we intended to do. The quick burial at sea of Osama bin Laden's body was exactly the way to handle that matter. Even Winston Churchill would have approved.
