WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will spend Thanksgiving in Afghanistan before traveling to Iraq with a former Army paratrooper turned senator to meet with soldiers and ask questions about the United States' ongoing nation-building efforts.

The former first lady and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., have both been critical of the administration's handling of post-combat problems in the war on terrorism, particularly after major military operations ended in Iraq.

Clinton and Reed said Tuesday they were concerned about the current efforts to win the "hearts and minds" of Iraqis.

I'm sure the troops are thrilled about a visit from Comrad Hitlery.

Big thighs on this year's turkey for the troops.

The enemy among us ..... keep your guard up, troops! This too will pass.

Let me get this straight.

Sen. Clinton implies that we shouldn't be there.

Sen. Reed implies that we shouldn't leave too soon.

Confusion in the ranks? Say it ain't so!

Best Regards

If Rodham/Clinton's degenerate husband had been "obsessed" with Saddam and BinLaden the atrocities of the 90's against American interests.. in particular the USS Cole... the 9/11 mass murder of innocent Americans in addition to citizens of 67 other countries may not/ (scratch that...WOULD NOT) have happened...

Whose side will she be visiting?

[armymarinemom]

OK so my son is not going to be home for Thanksgiving. Must he endure this type of torture?

[Rightone]

Excellent analogy as to Jane Fonda.

I can't imagine many troops turning out at all for her, but there will be several and likely those who do turn out will have gripes. The media will make it look as if there are many more than there really are. Get ready for a bunch of clips to be used on the ABC networks.

Hoefully she drew latrine duty

[mystery-ak]

Sen Clinton is the military's new best buddy....just stay out of Iraq, I know one soldier who would not take kindly to your visit..

The poor troops; away from home and getting a visit from Hitlery.
