Hillary to Troops: Support for War Fading

Moderator note: I know it's going to be tough, but, please watch the calls for violence against this creature.

In a demoralizing message to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq, visiting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told them that Americans back home are growing increasingly skeptical of President Bush's decision to send them into battle.

Describing two meetings with G.I.s over turkey dinners in Baghdad, Sen. Clinton told reporters later that soldiers wanted to know "how the people at home feel about what we are doing."

Clinton said she told the troops, "Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the (Bush) administration's policies."

She also suggested that the U.S. could eventually loose the war in Iraq, contending, "We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."

Despite her sour pronouncements, the former first lady insisted that the soldiers were just as glad to see her as they were President Bush, whose surprise visit less than 24-hours earlier was greeted with standing ovations.

"It's a positive for the commander-in-chief to visit troops in the field," Clinton told reporters, adding, "the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself."

Speaking from a secure location just over the Kuwaiti border, Mrs. Clinton launched one verbal salvo after another at the White House, arguing that Bush officials had been "obsessed" with getting Saddam Hussein and saying the perception blinded them to the difficulties of deposing his regime.

"The Pentagon tried to make do with as few troops as possible, as light a footprint as they could get away with," Clinton said. "Now, we're playing catchup . . . Unfortunately, I don't think they fully appreciated the conditions we would encounter."

The top Democrat also reprised her charge that the White House is being less than candid when it comes to apprising the American people of the costs of the war.

"The obstacles and problems here are much greater than the administration usually admits to," she said, adding, "Everybody has to be honest."

Do you know of any constitutional lawyers on here -- she cannot be gotten for treason but from what I read she can be charged for violations of the Sedition Act but I need confirmation.

Thread going up shortly -- we need to all be contact our individual Senators from our States to demand she referred to the Ethics Committee of the United States Senate, and IMO demand her removal from Armed Services and the United States Senate.

At the same time, IMHO a violation of the Sedition Act needs filed against her to teach her and anyone else that goes overseas that they cannot go on foreign soil and attack the President of the United States.

We cannot let this die and have to keep more pressure on our Senators then we ever have in our life!

Every time I see a pic of young Ted Kennedy, it reminds me of Elvis' slow descent.

They all lie. It's in their blood like a hepatitis infection.

If she is ever elected you can bet that concentration camps and gas chambers will not be far behind.
Should that ever happen I hope that Texas will declare it's independence and become it's own country.
With George Bush as the president.

This is definitely NOT a good thing! She is demoralizing our soldiers, undermining their Commander-In-Chief and abetting the enemy in a time of war!

Oklahoma will join you or I am moving back to Texas! I will not live in this Country under a Hillary Presidency because we will not have a country.

We need to make sure that every last American hears about this act of hers to demoralize the trips -- there are no words harsh enough for her.

The Bible also says, "he who hates his brother without cause is a murderer."

I can only say with David, "Is there not a cause?"

For starters, We could ALL mail Hitlery 1 each small white chicken feather.

How about Karo syrup and fire ants? If we got enough feathers to cover Hillary, every chicken in North America would be bald!

We need a thread behind the scenes to let off steam -- I had to rewrite my comments several times! I have never been angrier at Hillary Clinton and that speaks volumes -- the woman is EVIL!

To: Chad Fairbanks; proud American in Canada; thesummerwind; oldglory
It happened, people saw it and have pictures of it. Gary Aldrich [then a secret service agent] saw the tree and used his pictures in his book," ... "I understand the staff even joked about it when they had a going away party for Hillary's Social Secretary Ann Stock. But when I asked Ann Stock about the incident, she said it never happened and the story was a total fantasy. ..."

Another FReeper and I attended the same political conference in D.C. as Gary Aldrich did in September of 1996. While there, I purchased a copy of his book, "Unlimited Access - An FBI Agent Inside The Clinton White House", which he autographed for me on 9-13-96.

I'll quote a few excerpts from pages 103 to 107 of that book here:

Gary Aldrich:

"...Christmas 1993 had been pretty stark, but then, it's always hard to hang wooden fertility symbols and lucite blocks with old computer parts; the branches keep bending and breaking."

"... as I waited for a stop light, I looked over at the national Christmas tree. What a sight it was. Gone were the multicolored Christmas balls and other ornaments that traditionally symbolized the holidays. Gone was the star from the top of the tree, symbolizing the night when Christ was born. Instead, on the top of the tree was a large stainless-steel ball pierced by colored shafts. It looked like the ball that sat atop the Daily Planet building in the Superman comic books I read as a child. This ball and the square and triangle tinfoil ornaments made the tree look like a robot. I couldn't wait to see what the Clintons and their friends would do the following year."

Fast forward to Christmas 1994: "..Gary, you and your team will work on the Blue Room tree."

"..We gathered around folding tables to unpack the ornament boxes. It took about ten seconds to get the first reaction. 'What in the world?' Then another. 'What the hell?' Then another. 'Look at this thing! What is it?' 'Hillary's ornaments is what!' ..."

"...the theme is The Twelve Days of Christmas, as interpreted by art students from around the country. ... I couldn't believe what I was looking at. ...'We can't hang this stuff on any White House Christmas tree! This is a bad joke!"

"Gary, the orders from the First Lady's Office are to hang these. .."

"[one ornament was] ... a mobile of twelve lords a-leaping. ... [consisting of] tiny clay male figurines. Each was naked and had a large erection. ..."

"Some of the ornaments were ... crack pipes hung on a string. Some ..were constructed out of various drug paraphernalia, like syringes, heroin spoons, or roach clips ... colorful devices sometimes adorned with bird feathers and used to hole marijuana joints. ... Three French hens were French-kissing in a menage`a trois ..."

"I went over to one of the tables I hadn't looked at yet. What's this? Of course. Two turtle doves ... joined in the act of bird fornication. ... I picked up another ornament that was supposed to illustrate five golden rings. ... [one of the volunteers] was glad to explain [that] the golden rings I was holding were sex toys known as 'cock rings' ...".

Another mystery ornament was the gingerbread man. How did he fit into The Twelve Days of Christmas? Then I got it. There were five small golden rings I hadn't seen at first: one in his ear, one in his nose, one through his nipple, one through his belly button, and, of course, the ever-popular cock ring."

"Here was another five golden rings ornament - five gold-wrapped condoms. ... There were other condom ornaments, some still in the wrapper, some not. Two sets had been blown into balloons and tied to small trees. ..."

"When we were through, the first lady's tree had all the beauty and majesty of a landfill."

"Hillary's social secretary , Ann Stock, came down, carefully looked at the tree and its decorations and pronounced it 'perfect' and 'delightful'. ... She thought it was 'neat'."

"I came back later and took some pictures of the tree and 'Mr Gingerbread Man' ... I knew nobody would believe this without photographic proof."

"I was interviewed by Martha Stewart, who was doing a Christmas special to be aired later on a major network morning show. ... As she looked around the tree she made 'hmmmmmm' sounds. If she didn't like the tree, she was very diplomatic about it. ..."

"Aside from displaying sex toys and self-mutilation devices on the nation's Christmas tree, there was another 'change' in the way the White House celebrated Christmas. Hillary decided to delete spouses from the invitation-only staff Christmas party. ..."

====

So in addition to the pictures Gary Aldrich took, Martha Stewart was one of the eye witnesses. Hahaha

I am shocked beyond belief that she said that to troops in a war zone.

You've got to remember that these words are her description of what she said to the troops as relayed to a news pool in a conference call. I still don't know exactly what she said to the troops. I think we need first hand accounts.

Reading through 800+ posts, for some reason I kept seeing in my minds eye the photo of the anarchist's sign that said "We support the troops, when they kill their officers!" (And pictured her holding it)

She is a vile traitor---unfit to clean the latrines over there.
