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."

The number might be pretty high for the thread's short duration.
Hillary has a way of getting a reaction, though.
The next thread I'll start may be about Hillary's false claim that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary of Mt. Everest fame. Unfortunately, Edmund Hillary was an obscure bee keeper in New Zealand when Hillary was born. He climbed the mountain SIX years after the "woman" was born. And of course the lamestream media ignored it!

The republicans have enough dirt stashed away on Hillary to do her in as a presidential candidate. Also, she is so full of hatred for America, she will shoot off her mouth just like she did with our beloved troops. The media sure didn't hide her comments this time did they? It was everywhere!
Things have changed the last 10 years. I think even the whores on network television will NOT give her a free ride this time
Best regards, IA

I wish there was some way that on a single day or night, everyone in this country who supports the troops could make their voices heard. A national porch lights on night or something. Something the media would have to cover and couldn't slant. And certain politicians couldn't deny. What a marvelous idea!
Just imagine porch lights on all over the country and the morale boost this tremendous show of support would give our troops.

Boy,That would be GREAT!What's that old saying?"A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words"???
To: thesummerwind
Can anyone get a quote from the troops she was speaking to? Their reaction would go a long ways in pushing this story along.
Of course, she may have just been posing with some poor soldiers stuck on the Hilliary detail...has anyone actually seen her speaking in front of a group of soldiers?

Well, I e-mailed it to a couple of places. And like I said, if anyone's got a better idea I'm all for it :) I just want to do something that can't be spun or overlooked. And unfortunately I have absolutely no clue how to go about organizing anything like that.
To: coincheck; sultan88; deadeye2; Flurry
what a cheap shot she took at our troops, lieing to them and demoralizing themHow about when she lied to the press about going out of the security zone? I think the conversation went something like this when she asked to go off base;
Hillary, "Is there any chance I can go off base to press some flesh"?
Military Security, " Senator Clinton, as I see it, the only flesh you're going to press is when your thighs rub together."

HC:"....."Nevertheless, I think it is clear, and it is not just a mistake, it is not just a wrong assessment--I think now it is clear that, for a combination of reasons, the administration gilded the lily, engaged in hyperbole, took whatever small nugget of intelligence that existed and blew it up into a mountain, in order, I suppose, to make the case more strongly and convincingly to the American people".

Part of the new Darwin awards:
The Darwin Awards
First Place Candidate for this year's Darwin Awards:
When his 38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a holdup in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
And now, the honorable mentions:
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.
The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost a finger.
The chef's claim was approved.
A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
