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."

Jane Fonda, Hillary Clinton -- traitors.

Surely not..surely not.I could scream!!Get a rope.

[Peach]

She is such a POS. I'd best stop now or I'll get kicked off the site.

US senator visitng troops in a war zone to tell them the US is no longer behind them. This is called "treason." Of course, the Marxist Press gives her another pass. What an evil bitch this woman is.

"Everybody has to be honest."

Except for Democrats and especially except for any politition named Clinton!

Soldiers wanted to know when the wide-load was going to press her fat cakes back on her broomstick and fly away! They also wanted to know if her overly-larded ankles would have a negative aeronautical effect on her broom flight.

Seeing myself? As opposed to seeing me?

Good grief, what awful grammar, although perhaps she really meant to say, "The troops seemed to appreciate seeing my own bad, skanky, greasy-haired, pinko commie, military-hating larda**ed self."

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

Clearly this evil (expletive deleted) is trying to have it both ways- "visiting the troops", but then telling them that their efforts are wasted.

I really think she should run for President this time- let's get it over with. She would be the biggest fundraiser the Republican Party ever had, and when she has lost in a landslide, the Clinton's will be out of the Nation's hair for good.

RUN, HILLARY, RUN!

[RightOnline]

What a soulless bitch.

[Republic Rocker]

Should this Senator not be home for the holiday handing out Turkey dinners in the BRONX!

i would feel abused if she was my state senator. she acts she is running the country! Not her state!

[Smokin' Joe]

At least Fonda was a reasonably attractive traitor. What a warm fuzzy bright spot it must have been in their day--when she left, and they only had to worry about hunting rebels and terrorists.

[MizSterious]

I think the reason she wears all those pantsuits is so the slacks can hide the fact that she has cloven hooves under those "utilitarian shoes." What a vile person.
