Hillary: I Know About Being Commander-in-Chief

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Sunday that House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi was right to say that President Bush "has on his shoulders the death of many more [U.S.] troops" because of his military misjudgments, explaining, "I know a little bit about" being Commander-in-Chief."

"Any Commander-in-Chief bears that responsibility," she told "Fox News Sunday." "It's an awesome, unbelievably overwhelming responsibility. I know a little bit about that."

Clinton also seconded Pelosi's charge that Bush was incompetent, defending her own comments to NBC last week that the president had demonstrated "a pattern and practice of misjudgments that add up to incompetence and lack of credibility."

"I have to say, I've been very disappointed at many of the decisions along the way implementing the judgment of the administration," she told Fox.

Sen. Clinton said that U.S. troop cutbacks had left the U.S. unable to deal simultaneously with the Iraq war and its global defense commitments.

"We have to face the fact that we need a larger active duty military," she told Fox. "We cannot continue to stretch our troops, both active duty, Guard and Reserve, to the breaking point, which is what we're doing now."

During her husband's administration, U.S. troop strength was cut back from 18 active duty divisions to ten.

Sen. Clinton painted a grim picture of U.S. prospects in Iraq, saying, "We have lot of trouble - everybody knows that. My hope is that we can work our way out of the trouble we're in."

So she's saying that in 1992 AND in 1996, when people 'voted' for her loathsome slimebag of a husband, they actually got HER and her "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" paranoia as the President?

Unless of course it's your 'husband in name only' that's the CINC, then he gets to blame 18 deaths on the SOD...

No Hillary, you don't. You know about being the Commander-in-Chief's wife --- at least what part of being First Lady you got to play --- Monica probably spent more time with your husband than you did.

"I know a little bit about" being Commander-in-Chief."

Except what she learned about being commander in chief is to make sure you have plenty of cigars and a cheap intern or two under the desk.

"Any Commander-in-Chief bears that responsibility," she told...I know a little bit about that."

Message: I have experience - vicariously through my hubby - elect me.

And as co-prez, she must also be held responsible for all of the attacks on the US, including 9/11, due to her inaction against bin Laden.

The notion that should she could be President is frightening. We have enough jerks in this country to elect that big ankled witch--that freaks me out.
