Hillary Blasts Bush on Fallujah Attacks

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blasted the Bush administration on Thursday for sending too few troops and not enough military equipment to Iraq, saying the of lack of U.S. resources contributed to the attacks in Fallujah that killed four U.S. workers on Tuesday.

"It was heartbreaking and horrible to see the desecration of the four men who were killed in Fallujah," Clinton told Democratic Party radio host Al Franken.

Calling Fallujah "one of the epicenters of Saddam Hussein's support," Sen. Clinton said, "Clearly we have to increase our response and make it more effective."

She then reminded:

"Of course I've been saying for more than a year that we didn't send in enough troops in the beginning. I think the administration wanted to do both Afghanistan and Iraq with as few troops and as limited a commitment as possible. I think it was a mistake."

Clinton said that Bush had made a critical error by not eliminating al Qaeda before attacking Iraq.

"I believe that whether or not you agree with the action in Iraq, the timing of it diverted resources and equipment like the Predators and many of our Special Ops and intelligence personnel from Afghanistan prior to getting the job done there with respect to completely eliminating the al Qaeda presence in Afghanistan."

The former first lady also had words of praise for Bush terrorism policy critic Richard Clarke, saying he did a good job in exposing "our shortcomings as a nation."

"Mr. Clarke has, I think, come across very credibly and knowledgeably about what he saw as our shortcomings as a nation, which is a totally fair assessment because we had never been up against an enemy like this before - and what we should be doing to protect ourselves."

Mrs. Clinton noted that Clarke's complaints about the Iraq war mirrored her own, saying, "he has made a very important point about the diversion of time, attention and resources and commitment from Afghanistan, which he argues has undermined the overall war against terror."

"He has to be taken very seriously," she added.

While critical of the Bush war policy, she said her husband's administration deserved a big part of the credit for U.S. military success in Iraq.

"So much that had proved successful had been developed during the Clinton administration, tried out in Bosnia and Kosovo, and lessons learned in places like Haiti and Somalia," she told Franken. "And I'm very proud of the very positive record that the Clinton administration had in helping to prepare the military for the future."

People have died a horrible death and all you can think of is taxes? You're as despicable as Hillary.

[FlashBack]

Hillary's Scheme is a good read as well.

[nutmeg]

Hillary is pure evil ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[Freesofar]

I heard a theory on a talk radio show today that Hillary would start to act like a hawk to court the moderates and clinch the 2008 election. The liberal "Base" will just follow like lemmings.
Wow, amazing ! Looks like this guy was correct. Just wish I could remember his name, sorry.
We most likely won't even have a viable candidate.

Very, VERY scary

[38special]

The scary thing is that there are people out there who believe these lies. Unfrigginbelievable!

"People have died a horrible death and all you can think of is taxes? You're as despicable as Hillary."

This is a Ralph Nader troll. Pay him no mind.

[hershey]

Hill's just warming up. Wait 'til she weasels her way onto the RAT ticket as VP. She'll be the 'gravitas' half of the RAT team.

[kcvl]

Over here!

[highlandbreeze]

Riiight, with all her vast military knowledge...

[noutopia]

The witch needs to be burnt at the stake.

[Ken in Eastman]

When dealing with terrorists - and these thugs in Fallujah are terrorists - shouldn't we remind Madame Clinton that her husband PARDONED Puerto Rican terrorists, who attempted to use violence to promote Puerto Rican independence, at the end of his 8-year pretending to be President?

[Smartass]

There she goes again, shooting from the hip
Hillary needs a years supply of Viagra and a new
husband, because she doesn't know giddily about Iraq.

There is a special place in hell waiting for this witch

[blackbart.223]

"There is a special place in hell waiting for this witch."

I'm not sure she would even be welcome down there.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

It's amazing how the DUmmies invade FR to celebrate when something bad happens to Americans.

That's nothing. You should see the celebration they have planned if the "body count" of our soldiers rises to 1000 in Iraq. That's their hope right now, and their goal. I pray that it doesn't happen.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[endthematrix]

"told Democratic Party radio host Al Franken."

Voice of reason? Actually this RAT-RADIO might be good at exposing their Socialist agenda.

[budwiesest]

Wait 'til she weasels her way onto the RAT ticket as VP.

That's one possibility though I doubt she'd settle for second place in anything. If Bush's numbers were to drop low enough before November ($3.00/gal. gas), Kerry-the-spear-catcher will have served his purpose and something major will happen (like the unseen spear Clinton stabs him in the back with).

Gotta hand it to Kerry though, he's out there campaigning with an aspiring Clinton waiting in the wings. Gutsy.

Note that Hitlery praises Clarke who, on pages 222-229, pointed out to Richard Miniter, Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Unleashed Global Terror, that Clinton, Albright, Berger, Cohen, Tenet, Reno, and Freeh opposed the use of the Predator with Hellfire against Osama bin Laden who was captured on clear video at least three times during eleven flights in September-October 2000.

Of course, where Hitlery comes from, truth does not exist.

The sole operative paradigm is eating competing species.
