Tuesday, April 27, 2004 10:53 a.m. EDT Hillary Blasts Bush in Arab Press
In remarks being reported throughout the Arab world Tuesday morning, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blasted the Bush administration as a threat to peace in the Middle East, going so far as to accuse President Bush of endangering the lives of U.S. troops.
Sen. Clinton delivered the unprecedented attack in an interview with the London-based Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on Monday, with newspapers from Tehran to Islamabad picking up her harsh words almost immediately.
Typical was the coverage by Tehran's news agency Mehr, which quoted Clinton as saying that "the U.S. is trapped in the quagmire of Iraq."
"Referring to the Bush Administration policies as arrogant and insolent," Mehr said, "the wife of the former U.S. president further added that Bush is not willing to admit his mistakes in Iraq, the grave mistakes that have endangered the lives of both the Iraqi people and the U.S. servicemen alike."
The former first lady said that Bush's "mistakes have also threatened peace and stability in the region."
In comments that could only encourage the Iraqi insurgency, the top Democrat complained that "the United States was in trouble because it could not abandon Iraq, nor provide enough manpower to run the country, nor gather world allies willing to provide the necessary assistance for the gigantic task," according to Mehr's translation.

It looks like Hitlary is jockeying for position as the new Hanoi Hillary. I can never remember senators openly criticizing a president on his war effort to an international audience , can you ? What happened to Hillary the Hawk ?

If this is not treason; aid and comfort to the enemy; what is?
Serving themselves rather than their country; is what Libs do first and foremost; this is outrageous on behalf of a U.S. Senator; Hillary Clinton should be dealt with.

This article should be repeated until every FReeper and lurker reads this. Sadly she will get away with this act of high treason, just like Hanoi Jane did.

If this pig dared hurl this kind of invective during WWII, she'd be under indictment in a Pittsburgh minute.

This is absolutely horrible. She's trying to get the world-wide Arab constituency for her political future at the expense of our safety and our troops' lives.
Absolutely awful.

Last week she summoned her little a$$ monkey's in the press to go after the president and now this...I suppose being senator is not enough after being co-president.
