Hillary to Troops: Support for War Fading

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."

The Hillary Story We Should Never Forget

"(Story originally appreared in the American Spectator, March 97)

It seems that Hillary, who's had her fingerprints found on all the new scandals that are breaking on a daily basis is trying to fix her public image. So, to promote the new effort, showing how deeply Hillary cares about children, especially sick children in hospitals, Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington got a call. Hillary Clinton would be coming over soon with children's author Maurice Sendak. Hillary's advance team would be showing up arranging the security and logistics.

The team did show up. What they saw horrified them. The kids in the hospital children's ward really looked sick! Some of them had tubes sticking out. Some had lost their hair to chemotherapy. Some were groggy because of the pain killers they had to take. Hospital officials were quickly told this would not do. Hillary would look bad in a newspaper photo if she posed with sickly looking children. They were told. "No children that look drowsy, skip bald kids, sick looking kids, or kids with tubes sticking out."

So here's what the hospital actually did. They outfitted a hospital conference room with toys and kids decorations. They ordered hospital staff members to bring in their healthy children who would pose as sick children in photos with the great St. Hillary.

So, on January 10th, Hillary Clinton showed up to Georgetown University Medical Center and read to a bunch of kids with author Maurice Sendak. Had you read the papers or heard the news the next day, you might have been bowled over by her compassion. Actually she demonstrated the opposite.

You see the real sick kids, who were originally told they would be visited by the first lady were originally extremely happy and excited at the prospect of her visit. When they were later told, they were too sick looking to be with the great Hillary, some became deeply depressed. After all how would anyone feel not being good enough for Ms. compassion herself.

Of course the press published the photos of Hillary reading to the cute kids the next day. They just forgot to tell you that Hillary, in the quest of the perfect photo could not bring herself to be photographed with an actual sick child. The phony mask of compassion that Hillary hides behind has slipped once again. Just around Purim time too!"

I really have a sincere dislike fer the HildaBeast. FReegards...MUD

"Lisa, Dan just let me know that 5 democratic Senators called for the censure of Hillary this morning. Along with the Republican Senators, she should be voted for cencure within 60 days

What's happening with this? Nothing as usual?

As you know, I diligently sent e-mail to every senator (that I had e-mail) on the Armed Services Committee. I will not send e-mails to "my" senators: Klintoon and Schuuuuuuuuumer.

I had the great honor to send e-mail to my "beloved" Senator Arlen 'Scottish Law/'Single Bullet Theory' Sphincter! What a dweeb. Wonder what they got on him years ago! What do you think?

"I think a hammer is coming down on her for campaign irregularities and when they open an investigation

I hear they have her on tape saying, "burn the receipts." I won't hold my breath, but I heard it twice on my early morning talk show.

I think a hammer is coming down on her for campaign irregularities, -- Gawsh, an interesting theory. And if true, allows her an escape via the sympathy route.

Let her try to escape, I hear they have her on tape, saying, "Burn the receipts". This is suppose to bust open right after the new year.

We'll see.

I honestly believe that, long before Hitlery EVER ran for office (or Billy the pig), the Clintoons had dug up as much crap about every official holding public office in every state and have had information added to that ever since...every single skeleton they could possible find...and then, I believe, in no uncertain terms (very strong innuendos), they let every single individual know exactly what bones are in their closets.....and stated such in the form of covert threats.

Wasn't their information out there for a while about the Clinton's having FBI files?

Honestly, if someone has a questionable past, they should not be in office anyway.

she acts she is running the country! Not her state!

Like some companies, once she got New Yorkers signature on the 6 year senate contract she ignores them. She's now trying to get the rest of us to sign off on her for a 4 year contract.

Yes.....those are the files that Hitlery "didn't have, they just 'disappeared.'" Honestly, if someone has a questionable past, they should not be in office anyway.

Then no one would run for office. Everyone has done something that they would be embarrassed about in their youth. And what about those who, because of, perhaps, terrible strains/stress, etc., were under psychiatric care for mental health reasons (i.e., depression). Or what about those with bi-polar disorder....and they are regularly taking their meds, and because of that, they are now "fine." If that kind of information was released, they be ripped apart by the media---unfairly, IMHO.

That kind of information would be in an FBI file? I mostly had criminal history in mind. Not embarrassing situations or medical care.
