A claim that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton ventured beyond Baghdad's security zone on Friday to visit U.S. troops in the combat zone is being challenged by Fox News Channel military reporter Oliver North. North, who returned from Iraq on Thursday, was filling in for nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity when the topic of Sen. Clinton's Iraq trip came up.
"The media tried like the dickens to make the Hillary visit look like . . . a very courageous thing," the former Marine colonel told a caller.
Noting the claim by Sen. Clinton's press aide that she was "on a visit with a military division outside the security zone," North insisted, "Let me tell you something. Nobody, nobody, nobody, goes around Baghdad outside, quote, the security perimeter."
Based on the dubious account of her spokeswoman, Sen. Clinton was being credited with an act of courage by the European press, whose reporters drew comparisons with President Bush.
Saturday's London Times noted, for instance, "Unlike Bush, who never left the heavily secured military compound at Baghdad International Airport or the company of Americans during his two and a half hour visit, Senator Clinton headed out to meet troops, aid workers and Iraqi politicians."
Agence France Press also gave Clinton credit for the supposedly bold gesture, saying, "Unlike the US president, who never left the main military camp at Baghdad airport during his two-and-a-half hour stay, Clinton left the heavily fortified complex around the palace to go and visit troops."

Too funny!
Shillary ticks me off like no one else ever has, but I say let her make these outrageous claims. She is up to her ample butt in a hole now, and every time she runs her mouth (shovel?), the hole just gets deeper. Keep digging, Shillary!

I'd like to post my reply and share my thoughts but that would violate every single posting guideline that Jim has in effect and would probably earn me a lifetime banning.

If she did go out, she had nothing to fear.
She is the best $inator that the Islamofascists have working for them in DC.

Yes, Hillary made a gross error in judgement. She could have said anything about increasing troop strength, refocussing on al Qaeda, or advocating improved conditions for the troops. Instead, she revealed to the world how cold and thoughtless she is by demoralizing our nation's finest. It's gloriously unforgivable.

I believe she left the perimeter. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if whe attended a lunch with Saddam and a fete for her anti-American activities.

Why would the Jihadists want to harm Hillary anyway? She is one of their indirect supporters.
