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."

Scum - that IS a good acronym for the Clintons. Let's use it often.

"Hillary Plays Second Banana"

Now that is a word picture that I could have lived without.

Bill with cigars; Hillary with bananas. Dang, now I gotta go stick my head in the sink, turn on the faucet and run water through my ears to get those images out of my head. Sink?!? Even that was corrupted by Bill!

From your keyboard......

[arasina]

Maybe that simple word could be like the dittos. Just type in BUMPS (not bump) and we'll know who we're discussing. Although, considering who it is, perhaps DUMPS would be better. (Just doing a little brainstorming on your idea.) :o)

MIDI - I HONESTLY LOVE YOU

I had been taught much better…and I’m not very proud
That I have these feelings in my heart
But you are so evil…that I haven’t got a choice
To begin listing what you’ve done, where do we start?

I loathe you…I honestly loathe you

Those who have observed you know that one thing’s oh so true
It’s becoming really crystal clear
You are Satan’s daughter…we have known it from the start
Is it awful what you see in the mirror?

I loathe you…I honestly loathe you

I have never hated a first lady
Maybe this feeling’s driven me insane
But I have a very wonderful nightly dream
That a lightning bolt will strike…and that just your shoes remain

I loathe you…I honestly loathe you

You have been protecting that awful Rapist Scum
You attack the victims savagely
People have accepted many lies that you have told
It is all the vast right wing conspiracy

You have used our children…you have done it without shame
Yes, you’ve learned to do it very well
As you sit there smugly just remember this
That an extra-warm place waits for you in hell

I loathe you…I honestly loathe you
I honestly loathe you

Estrich commented that "these statments coming from critics (referring to Hillary and others) makes the Democratic party look small." She also said, "Only Bush could trump Hillary in Iraq."

I wish her a long life behind bars.

Yes! "Behind bars" in a cage in the town squares all over the country, where all citizens are requested to come and throw whatever they wish at her low-ness. However, New Yorkers, I'm sorry will not get the chance to throw things at her. Afrerall they elected the wide-load traitor! If they hadn't she'd be gone, forever.

But I can't help but think that that election was rigged.

[MeekOneGOP]

The cr** that continues to come from this woman's mouth ceases to amaze me ! What gall.

Yes, Nicmarlo. Traitor ping is correct ! ...

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHh Does this woman not have an ounce of common sense?

I can hardly speak, it is a good thing I got the warning from the moderator on this one or else I may have ended up getting banned from this site.

*breathing deep, logging off, formulating response to ethics committee members*

[Paul Atreides]

Why is she over there, and why is she saying this:

*For whom did a majority of the absentee military votes go to in the last presidential election?

*Who is more than likely going to be running in 2004?

*Who has had a long-standing hatred of the military?

*Who would benefit, if she could try to get the military voting for her?

A friend of mine sent me this from Germany.

"...She stopped by Ramstein on her way to Kabul. Bunch of us transplanted New Yorkers were sent to a luncheon with her. Her and another senator from Rhode Island made short speeches about how much they loved us etc etc. No Q&A though, was a little dissapointed at that but they did not want anyone to say anything rude...[sic]"

[Husker24]

Someone please tell me this isnt true.

[Admin Moderator]

The posts that were removed were calls for violence against this thing. FR is by far above the du standard. Please see #52.

[Paul Atreides]

Who'd a thunk there was ANYTHING that could make Hillary look small!

[thesummerwind]

she's just told him that support for the troops is fading.

Something in Congress should be done about these evil words. They must act against her. She's the most destructive person in this country. AND, her lamesream sycophants are just as guilty. Truly!
