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."
"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. "
Okay, so WHO made those troop cutbacks? Hmmm?
"I was in favor of cutting back U.S. troop strength before I was in favor of increasing U.S. troop strength." HRC
...She could start with, enlisting in the Armed services. As Commander in Chief, along side her husband, she might have something to offer, instead of "WE are the POTUS"
Are you too close to the forest to see the trees? From my view, the woman will do whatever it takes and that means WHATEVER it takes to become president of the US. We see great danger out here of that woman trying and in so doing will divide this country as never before; worse than the Civil War. She by her very nature is a devisive person; cunning and a survivor...she has no love for her country, only the power it can bring her.
I love my country, warts and all and I would fight to keep it free. I am proud of my culture, perhaps this makes me sort of biased in todays world of anti-Americanism. How did this happen? Media, France, Germany and Russia and the socialists here - they will take our money any day but don't mess with their little games. i.e., OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM ---- Wake up New York You’ve got a pernicious problem with mrs. clinton.
Yes....and if she was observing Bill in the role of CIC then she must have witnessed Monica on her knees while Bill was on the phone ordering troops around and thinks Lindy E's military methods are commendable.
That's real funny - while her old man sat in the White House getting 'tickled'...Bin Laden had so much freedom in this country to attack us on 9/11.....she is a greedy and dishonest woman....and only wants power. I'm sure she knows how to be 'Commander and Chief' although appearantly even that in her own marriage has failed - so what could she do better in politics???
What she wants and what she gets are two different things.
The Left would be crushed in a Civil War.
Oh, PLEASE let this bi*ch step into Kerry's place to "save" the DemocRat Party. Please, God, I won't ask for anything else this year.
The nation can finally scrape the Clinton influence from it's collective boots.
Arguing against boring arrogant Kerry is one thing, defeating shrill hatefull Hitlery would be just pure cleansing FUN.
"I see this as her preparatory assertion that she would make a good CIC...."
Agreed. Hillary is becoming more vocal of late with regard to campaign issues. Makes the tinfoil speculations warmer each week.
I think we all know that, considering the few unsolved deaths in her circle of friends.
You don't know jack, Hitlery. Know your role and shut your mouth!
"During her husband's administration, U.S. troop strength was cut back from 18 active duty divisions to ten."
Who has forgotten the general that had to serve canapes at a White House event early on in her Buy one get one free administration?
UGH!!!
Let's get something straight RIGHT NOW! Hitlery was the presidential wife. She was never First Lady - to be that, one has to be a lady, and that white trash never was, is not now and never will be a lady. For crying out loud, that walking excrement fails to qualify as a human being!!! (apologies to excrement...)
"We have to face the fact that we need a larger active duty military," Lets face it she's right, especially if she is CIC. Reenlistments will go down along with recruiting results. But on the plus side we'll have a new photo for the urinals.
Well I meant it sarcastically.
I'm not even sure "wife" fits her role. Maybe the presidential bi --- no I'd better not.
