Hillary to Iowans: I Comforted Troops at Walter Reed

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told Iowa Democrats Saturday night that she recently visited Washington, D.C.'s Walter Reed Army Hospital to comfort wounded soldiers coming back from Iraq, saying their plight was the result of President Bush's arrogant foreign policy.

Addressing an enthusiastic crowd at Iowa's Jefferson Jackson dinner, the top Democrat complained, "When the rest of the world opened its hearts to us [after 9/11], he turned his back and pursued a very narrow and unfortunate policy that we are still paying a very big price for."

"And of course, it is mostly falling on the shoulders of the young men and women who serve in our military," she added.

For the first time ever, Sen. Clinton revealed: "Last Tuesday night I went out to Walter Reed hospital, which, many of you know, is the Army hospital in Washington, to walk around and say hello to the soldiers who had been evacuated out of Iraq after suffering grievous injuries, to meet their familles, [and] to answer their questions."

She painted a picture of the unnecessary suffering due to what she said were the president's misguided policies:

"As I went from room to room and bed to bed, seeing young men who had lost arms and legs, who had head injuries that, at least as for now, prevented them from knowing their names and remembering where they came from - I knew that I was seeing the best that America has to offer."

A comprehensive review of news reports over the last week, however, failed to turn up any mention of Sen. Clinton's visit to Walter Reed.

The former first lady made similar claims of meetings with 9/11 victim familles to author Stephen Brill earlier this year. But when Brill attempted to confirm the visits with the families themselves, he got a different story.

"None of it turned out to be true," he told radio host Steve Malzberg. "[Sen. Clinton's office] gave me documents and phone calls and things like that which just plain never happened."

Must not be ignored. This lie must be exposed!

When the rest of the world opened its hearts to us....

We don't need the world's sympathy, we need action.

The president repeatedly asked the UN for help....there was none: just stonewalling.

[Aracelis]

Senator Clinton is now perched perilously on the brink of treason.

I will observe this, but whenever I see a "Newsmax" by-line, I will withold my judgement.

Newsmax has as about as much credibility as the National Enquirer.

1. The Clinton's are pro-abortion. Our children deserve better.
2. The Clinton's are against school vouchers. Our children deserve better.
3. The Clinton's are against our ballistic missile defense system. Our children deserve to be protected from rogue North Korean nuclear missiles.
4. The Clinton's want Americans to be subjected to the International Criminal Court, which has no Bill of Rights, no right to see your accuser, no jury, and no appeal. Our citizens deserve better.
5. The Clinton's want the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming to become law. That treaty will eventually lead to the prohibition of gasoline-powered automobiles. We deserve better than to return to the pre-industrial age.

This woman has about as much chance of meeting an actual soldier as I do of meeting a space alien.

Scrath that. I would actually go and look for a space alien.

I'M SURE THEY WERE GLAD TO SEE "Madam 40 axe-handles" (width) walk in to see them. LOL

Filthy b!tch liar.

I know that you, Hitlery, or one of your minions is lurking here.

Repeat: Filthy b!tch liar.

I'm a veteran; so's hubby. So are many people I know. None of them and no soldier, sailor, airman or marine in hospital would have stood for your vicious screed.

There is NO proof, no corroboration that you actually visited this hospital.

I'm betting you wouldn't DARE show up at Walter Reed and air your nasty backstabbing and anti-morale anti-military tripe.


REMEMBER the booing you got post-9/11.

Just what is the defination of sedition these days.......Hillary has to be damn close to such a criminal act when she does such in public for promoting her own revenue driven agenda............after all it was a fund raiser wasn't it ?

[swheats]

Good thing she added many had amnesia. There's no way you'll get corroboration of who she really saw.

[WackyKat]

You're all misunderstanding the article; she was comforting Iraqi troops.

[AmericanVictory]

he he

[Jodi]

did the fat, bull dyke carry around the headline front page of the new york post (part of the vast right wing conspiracy) that said "Bush Knew" and demand pre-emptive action against terrorists?

or did she ask these brave men, who use to serve as her butlers, to go get her an ash tray to throw?

[AmericanVictory]

There is a poem in one of the oldest extant anthologies of Greek poems which has the line:

"Beware of a woman with thick ankles."

[Ruth A.]

...the top Democrat complained...

And just how does she get this rating?

[Squantos]

Watching her on a rerun on C-Span right now.......and I thought there was no horror movies on this evening. Scary Ugly Stoopid Socialist......versus just a Stoooopid Scary Socialist. Dean now trying to buy the youth vote........OK that's all I can stomach. Channel changed !

Stay Safe !

"As I went from room to room and bed to bed, seeing young men who had lost arms and legs, who had head injuries that, at least as for now, prevented them from knowing their names and remembering where they came from She visited troops

So she visited soldiers who had no control over who enters their rooms. She likes a captive audience.

Hillswine, you're not even fit to be in the same zip code with these brave soldiers.
