Hill on Zarqawi [Hillary weighs in]
Human Events Online ^ | June 9, 2006 | Hillary Watch

Posted on 06/09/2006 11:09:09 AM PDT by AZLiberty

Today Sen. Clinton issued a statement on the death of Abu Musab al Zarkawi. Here it is in its entirety:

"As a leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al Zarkawi was responsible for despicable attacks that claimed the lives of too many Iraqis and Americans. I saw firsthand the terrible consequences of Zarqawi's terrorist network when Bill, Chelsea and I visited the hotel ballroom in Amman, Jordan last November where Zarqawi's followers had detonated a bomb at a wedding, killing and wounding innocent people. We owe our thanks to our men and women in uniform and others in Iraq who have been fighting the Zarqawi and other insurgents and who are responsible for today's success.

I hope that this will be a blow to the insurgency in Iraq and affords an opportunity for the new Iraqi government to build on this success and provide greater security and stability for the Iraqi people."

While it figures that Hillary would insert herself into this story, it is true that she and her family were there and seemed visibly moved. It was also a bit surprising that she didn't react as many liberals have, which is by briefly saying Zarkawi's death is a good thing and then quickly moving on to criticize the administration. Way to show some restraint, Hill.

Why would anyone want to even take the time to make a comment about this person. She thrives on the controversy and takes pleasure in your reactions. The best way to deal with her is to marginalize her to the point where her's and BJ's opinion mean nothing. Maybe then they will finally go away and the country can focus on the real politics of moving forward and not the politics of the clinton's!

I look forward to the day of a clinton free FreeRepublic!

Someone in the HBM said Zarqawi was a HEAD OF STATE. At least Hil didn't give him that!

Well, we've heard so much parsing of sentences lately that this probably should have read:

"Someone in the HBM said Zarqawi was an UNDOCUMENTED HEAD OF STATE".

Hillary just reduced Zarqawi from bloodthirsty TERRORIST

One man's terrorist is another man's Fiefdom Fighter.

Mission Accomplished (to the nth degree, it seems)

The image of

Shrillery WEIGHING IN

was almost more than my visually oriented system could handle without overloading or shorting out or just running screaming into the night.
