U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (news - web sites) poses with a Iraqi civilian working for army in the base of the 2nd battalion 2nd Airborne Division in Baghdad, November 28, 2003.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) talks to U.S. soldiers during a Thanksgiving dinner at the military base in Bagram, Afghanistan. One soldier tried to block the camera's view of Mrs. Clinton with a small American flag in order to demonstrate that Clinton's request that all American flags be removed from the premises would be ignored.

In the first picture, I think you missed a layer of clothing. It appears that she had a Tshirt, dress shirt, and then some darker blue sweater showing on one side, then the black pantsuit! :-) The next outfit appears to have the same T Shirt, but a darker blue dress shirt followed by the black pantsuit!

Then we have a black turtleneck followed by a pink top with the ever present power pantsuit! YIKES! Do you think it is ever washed? (she looks more dyke like every week!) BTW: Isn't it HOT in Iraq? Why all of the layers of clothing?

The White House certainly has talked about the work being done in Afghanistan by our troops. The press doesn't give this much notice because they are far more interested in the evolving Iraq theater of operations. I don't see how you can blame that on the White House.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Do you think that's a sweater or a scarf that didn't work out?

"I wanna live with the Cinnamon Girl...I could be happy the rest of my life with the Cinnamon Girl. A dreamer of pictures we run in the night, you'll see us together chasing the moonlight..my cinnamon girl."

Just had to say that. (Neil Young song "Cinnamon Girl", circa 1969 from "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere" album)

Ol' Crusty certainly had a workout on this tour;

LOL! My thoughts also...I was wondering if Ol' Crusty receives frequent flyer miles?

That guy in the dark blue shirt is a senator?! He looks like some half-awake drunk who just stumbled out of bar in Berlin. Is he a Republican?....geez I hope not.

[Cuttnhorse]

Absolutely Hilarious!!

"Thank you for offering, ma'am, but I don't even own a camera."

ROTFLMAO

[Vinnie]

Count the smiles in the pics. I count 3, four with the Iraqi woman.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I count only two. The smiles of people looking at someone other than Hillary! don't count as smiles for her because they are probably enjoying an inside joke with the person they are looking at.

"Everywhere I go, the troops are handing me cups of warm apple juice. Such hospitality!"

[Lady Composer]

I say we nominate her for a "What Not To Wear" segment!

[lorrainer]

Was Laika socialist ?

I believe Laika had to have been full-blooded communist to get as far as she did. ;o)

MY TITLE: The day Hillary came to visit our troops was the day that..........."Click" for Hillary's sake!

BTW: Isn't it HOT in Iraq? Why all of the layers of clothing?

As she ages her testosterone goes down so she has a colder core body temperature. Hence, the need for all those layers.

That and it helps contour her waist into her thighs.
