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."

I wonder that none of the soldieers have commented on hillary's visit, too. Maybe they were ordered not to.
To: thesummerwind
"The Dems. should be ashamed of themselves" Shame is another thing that has been deleted from their genetic code.

Hillary should never be on the Armed Forces Committee, she and her husband spent 8 years cutting the Military budget, closing bases, and trashing the military.!
Many of you are angry and e-mailing congress-critters thing is they don't read them if the e-mails are not from their constituents at the best you will get back a computerized response. It is better to send a letter or telephone.
I wonder if the democrats that are campaigning for 2004 have any sense that she may grab the nomination during their convention, she could take it without any expenditures, no travel time, and no question and answer sessions....it would be something she would do.
To: sweetliberty
Shame is another thing that has been deleted from their genetic code.Niether is long term thinking. They just dont the get the fact that their actions leading up to war were recorded and will be referred to during the next election cycle. I want to see some of the dem candidiates explain why they voted for war and then voted against the 87 mil need to sustain the operation. That ridiculous contradiction was certainly not lost on me..

Glad you like it!

Are you referring to an election, or to the gathering crowds carrying pitchforks, tar, and feathers? ;) A posting I would like to see:
