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."

Does Hillary's broom have to go to full after burner to get to V2?

Yes, but her version of Rotation is a little different than ours!

[nicmarlo]

I feel guilty praying that she be sent to the furnace...but I don't feel guilty about Him taking her out....God does that when someone won't listen and their presence is too destructive for the whole of the people....so, I pray that God's timing becomes our timing. (But I don't think He listens too well to those prayers, either, lol! : )

[nicmarlo]

That is OUTRAGEOUS.....OUTRAGEOUS.....OMG!

[Think free or die]

"She is the Whore of Babylon."

. . . The Witch of Baghdad

[nicmarlo]

Let's put it this way....would it have been wrong to wish Hitler dead? Would not his death have prevented, perhaps, millions of deaths?

Wishing that God take away someone, who is destructive to so many lives, after that person has been PRAYED for for YEARS upon YEARS.....what else is there to pray for? It's one thing to forgive sinners who repent. But the Klintoons are not repentent and continue with their evil-doing. This is an afront to God....especially when Billy boy used to carry around his Bible, all for show. The gall.

I just loathe them and everything about them. They're evil. (rant off, lol.)

[cardinal4]

Did you see Agence Presse Frances comparison of visits?? GRRRRRRR! Thats it for me, Im hating to much, Im going to bed, maybe Ill wake up tomorrow and all the Sunday talk shows will be hammering her....

[nicmarlo]

all the Sunday talk shows will be hammering her....

That will take STRONG prayers!!! : )

I saw Hillary on television, shaking hands with the troops (all nine of them.) Shake their hand, smile, turn, pose for the cameras, next. She must have spent all of 10 seconds with each soldier. And the smile, the smile was fake.

[deadeye2]

This is just like that no good POS.

I don't think it's like "herself" at all. First of all,it would show an honest emotion,namely,her contempt for the military. "Herself" doesn't have much experience with honesty or emotion.

Second,"herself" and Bill don't do anything political without asking,"what would Machiavelli do?" Machiavelli would not energize his opposition with no gain for himself.

I have seen the quotes from the other sources. I believe all of the quotes are true. But,the words inside the quotation marks are more subtle,and their implications have deniability. Same old operating procedure the klintons have always used. Its the spin that NewsMax puts on it that is inflamatory. I'd bet my membership to the NRA that their spin is how she really feels. But,"herself" leaves enough ambiguity for the libmedia to give her cover.

I know what you mean..

It is perhaps not right to wish her demise..

It is sometimes very hard and difficult to trust that bad people will get their "come-uppance"

I have seen more evil people than just Hillary, continue to thrive..Look at Teddy Kennedy for example..

I read a long history on him last night, talk about vile.

Mary Jo was alive in that car for hours..nobody rescued her or even tried to.. he laid on a fishing dock and wailed about how that could be happening to "him."

It took divers the next day..45 minutes to recover her body..he waited 10 hours to report it.

He is not without punishment however..look at the stuff that has happened to that family

Be patient..

It comes down to a matter of faith..I think

They may live long..but who they answer to in the hereafter may not be so pleasant..

[nicmarlo]

They may live long..but who they answer to in the hereafter may not be so pleasant..

Those to much is given, much is expected. They have abused their power....God doesn't turn his Head upon that kind of abuse....He sees all and remembers. Yes, it comes down to faith. And I know that, unless they sincerely change their ways, they face something too horrendous to imagine.

[E=MC²]

WOW...over 1400 posts directed at the hilliarry. I can't possibly say anything that has not already been said, but I just want to add my small voice to the list of Freepers condemning this horrid jezebel. The world will be a much better place on the day "she" is frog-marched off to hell by satan.

[PGalt]

We the people...are just getting started. Right President. Right forum. Right time.

Enemies of freedom are on the run world-wide...foreign and domestic.

Hillary is history.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

All of it was so contrived..

Disgusting!

The soldiers had more than one turkey to deal with when she visited..

God forgive me, I loathe that woman

There is a rock-hard lump of ice where her heart ought to be.

We should send her a mirror, so she could be with her favorite person all the time..

I am reminded of the movie "Legend"

Where Tom Cruise charms the Swamp Queen by showing her..her own reflection in his shield, and then lopping her head off!

Go "W"!

Ms.B

[nicmarlo]

I saw Hillary on television, shaking hands with the troops (all nine of them.)

I'd never touch her.....I'd steer clear of her. I wonder if those 9 soldiers were ORDERED to shake her hand. She's a putrid stench.

[wardaddy]

Indeed.

elephant legged marxist

skeeeratch!!

[dixiechick2000]

*meow*

lol

[deadeye2]

Hate to disagree with you,but I don't think she casts a reflection in a mirror.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
