"Women tell me they can't leave their homes . . .

When did they tell her? Does she mean women are calling her office? Sending her emails? Or did they talk to her when she was there over Thanksgiving? If so, why is she just now reporting?

I don't believe it.

Sen. Hillary Clinton said this week that Iraqi women were better off under Saddam Hussein


????

Looks like her pantsuit isn't the only thing that's crusty....her mind is falling to pieces as well...

[Gritty]

If this article is true, it should chill the bones of every American who loves liberty, truth and Consitutional freedoms.

Hillary may well become President. If she really thinks this, her views are not that different from Saddam's and her mindset bodes very ill for the future of our Republic!

[alrea]

Saddam: "U.S. women better off when Hillary was President."

[Kaslin]

Like all democRats, left-wingers, liberals etc that "woman" is delusional

[arasina]

Wonder why THIS didn't happen under Saddam, Hillary?

The 2nd. half spoke today.

This morning, there was a meeting and a public conference for Iraqi women in Al-Firdows Square. The crowd was actually small, something around 150 ladies from different ages, jobs, political trends and ethnic groups, but all came for one reason (women rights in the new, free, democratic Iraq) Anyway, the reporters and journalists were almost more in number than the women who held the meeting.

The speeches made there focused on the demand that the Iraqi women must have their appropriate representation in the coming national council and in the local administrative councils in every city in Iraq, and that representation should be no less than 40% of the seats in each council, relying on the fact that women make up about 60% of the population in Iraq. This demand was also supported by Mrs.Ssongol (GC member) who also showed her complete refusal to the 137 announcement stating that suspending that announcement is not enough and that they will work hard in the council to cancel it with another official announcement. She also said that a suggestion was made to the Iraqi ministers that every minister should assign at least one female assistant. Yet, one of the groups who attended the meeting (women freedom in Iraq) insisted that women should have 60% of the seats and that they would not accept the 40%. This one also had tough criticizing attitude towards the GC, the Islamic fanatics, and the CPA.

Dr. Mahdy Al-Hafidh (the minister of planning) was also there today and made a speech in which he declared his total support to the Iraqi women demands.

Among the groups that attended this meeting, there were:
- The sports teaching college for girls.
- The economy and administration institute.
- Neenawa’s plains women association.
- Kurdistan libertarian women movement.
- The modern Iraqi woman movement.
- The independent Iraqi women aggregation.

That’s what I could record from the signs, but I think that there were others that I didn’t mention.

The groups who organized the meeting passed papers among the audience to have their signatures to support omitting the 137 announcement from the Iraqi law. AYS and I gladly gave our signatures.

At the beginning, I was disappointed by the small crowd, as it was smaller than I expected, but later I had my hope back…I mean this is the first time that Iraqi women go out to the streets to demand their rights with no fear and have the support for their demands from senior officials. Their voice is now clearly heard, and I believe that in a democratic, free Iraq, women (once they have such determination) will no longer be ignored or deprived from their social or political rights.

P.S. psssst! Hillary! This newfound freedom for Iraqi women happened because of the leadership and courage of President George W. Bush.

... as long as they stayed out of [Saddam's] way, they had considerable freedom of movement," Clinton insisted


Not suprising, this is how the Clintons have operated and will contunue to do so. As long as you don't have a political agenda that opposes hers you'll be OK. In other words, Stay outta my way! OR ELSE!

[stanz]

A real pissant.
Is this how she hopes to garner the women's vote in '08?

[EGPWS]

While ignoring reports about the brutal dictator's rape rooms and other forms of persecution that were routine for women under his regime, Sen. Clinton insisted: "On paper, women had rights."

Hey, who's to argue with the "smartest woman in the world"?

That profound statement in itself is proof enough of Hitlery's deserving of such a title. Don't ya' think?

[Just mythoughts]

Hillry is talking to the minority of Iraq. Saddams wives..... i.e. Saddam the most recent Stalin reincarnation

[DollyCali]

Hitlery : Idiot of Decade!

Thanks for posting the article again showing what a genius she is.

[the invisib1e hand]

i'm no fan of the clintons, but it's newsmax. better to read the transcripts for context.

PLEASE! OH PLEASE TELL ME WE GOT THIS COMMENT ON TAPE!!

You see, *that's* what matters to these ivory tower, head-up-their-asses leftists -- what's "on paper." During the Rodham-Clinton presidency, what mattered most was getting some psychopath dictator (be it Kim Jong-il or yassir arafart) to sign some silly paper, agreeing to something they'd never honor. Just like Neville Chamberlain frantically waving that piece of paper and shrieking about "Peace in our time!"

Sen. Hillary Clinton said this week that Iraqi women were better off under Saddam Hussein, arguing that when the brutal dictator ran the country women were at least assured the right to participate in Iraq's public life.

Then Enemy from Within Ping!

Thanks, Hillary! You are giving us plenty of ammunition for future freeps!

Maybe Saddam and his sons and all his henchmen were really women! Then she speaketh the truth!

[freekitty]

"were at least assured the right to participate in Iraq's public life."

Like execution in the public arena.
