Hillary Clinton’s Lies About Iraq - Caught On Video Tape

From the poster on Sweetness & Light:

My transcription of Ms. Clinton’s remarks:

I admire your willingness to speak out on behalf of of the women and children of Iraq. There is a very easy way to prevent anyone from being put into harm’s way, and that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something I have followed for more than a decade.

If he was serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming coming. There may be progress, we may be destroying the Samoud missiles, but there is no accounting for the chemical and biological stocks. And I just respectfully disagree about what the proximate cause of any action that may be taken is.

Now I also believe that for now nearly 20 years the principal reason why women and children in Iraq have suffered is because of his leadership. His not only tyrannical and dictatorial leadership, but his reign of terror against women and children. And it is a — it is a — very unfortunate situation for the Iraqi people that they have been so horribly misgoverned for so long.

Now, I do think that there are continuing discussions ongoing that I hope can make some further progress building on the success of the missile destruction program. But that has been the first real compliance, and it was only brought about when the inspectors discovered the missiles — they were not revealed — that their length was longer than what had been prescribed [sic] under the resolutions ending the Gulf War.

And the very difficult question for all of us is how does one bring about the disarmament of someone with such a proven track record of a commitment if not an obsession with weapons of mass destruction. And I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information and intelligence that I had available, talking with people whose opinions I trusted, trying to discount political or other factors that I didn’t believe should be in any way a part this decision.

And it is unfortunate that we are at the point of a potential military action to enforce the resolution. That is not my preference, it would be far preferable if we not only had legitimate cooperation from Saddam Hussein and a willingness on his part to disarm and account for his chemical and biological storehouses, but that if we had a much broader alliance and coalition.

But we are in a very difficult position right now. And so I would love to agree with you, but I can’t based on my own understanding and assessment of the situation.

In response to a question from an audience member:

With respect to whose responsibility it is to disarm Saddam Hussein. I just do not believe that given the attitudes of many people in the world community today that there would be a willingness to take on very difficult problems were it not for the United States leadership.

And I’m talking specifically about what had to be done in Bosnia and Kosovo, where my husband could not get a Security Council Resolution to save the the Kosavar Albanians from ethnic cleansing. And we did it alone as the United States. And we had to do it alone.

It would have been far preferable if the Russians and others had agreed to do it through the United Nations. They would not.

I’m happy that in the face of such horrible suffering we did act. And so I see it somewhat differently, if you’ll forgive me, from my experience and perspective.

I’m agreeing with you a hundred percent that even though I am willing to take a very difficult step for me to say we have to disarm this man. That position in no way supports the disastrous economic policies that this administration is pursuing. In fact I think that this is the height of irresponsibility.

And it would be far preferable to be more patient and more thoughtful and more willing to try to engender support with respect to Iraq. That is a decision that has to be made in the world community.

Here at home this administration is bankrupting our economy, forcing us to make the worst kinds of false choices between national and homeland security, which they don’t fund. And between security and everything else, which they don’t want to fund.

So you have me a hundred percent on that. And it is absolutely wrong — it is wrong that for the first time in American history we have a President who is talking about leading this country to war and wanting to cut taxes at the same time.

That is the height of cruel, arrogant irresponsibility.

Note how Hillary’s remarks purportedly made two weeks before the Iraq War began contradict all of her claims made in her first campaign stop in Iowa this weekend.

Bump!

[Jalapeno]

bump bump

[Jalapeno]

Is it a lie then, or is it a lie now? Does it matter which is the lie at this point?

[don-o]

LMAO!

[don-o]

"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else. "

G Bernard Shaw said that. Pretty good, imo.

[The Great RJ]

Gee why isn't Katie Couric reporting this??? </sarcasm

[fortunecookie]

Wow. She's as slick as Slick Willy, the lie just rolls right out.

Uh, am I the only one who thinks there needs to be a barf alert for the 'Peace' round, the 'musical' intro? Shudder. ;-)

[wastedyears]

That made me sick.

[beyond the sea]

I hear you. I fully expect her to win. I have watched how the media has protected and outrightly promoted her over the years, ever since the Life magazine article from Wellesley in 1969. She will be the one.

She has a ton of cash, and she, much to her credit I suppose, has been "networking" since the mid 60's. She is ruthless and really needs and wants it.

I think it's nearly a done deal.

Now, we are in for twenty or so long months of her ugly fortress of paid operatives, private investigators, various and assorted fixers and enforcers, softball media hosts, the sycophantic and protective old lying Marxist/liberal media, loads of screened audiences, and the virtual ubiquity of meaningless listening tours.

[swheats]

Let me see if I'm understanding this. Code Pink want us to pull out, stop the war and live in peace?

We were trying that until 9/11 came along. Why wont they take their show on the road to Iraq and sing for the 'insurgents'?

[SoftballMominVA]

What is going on at the end of the vid where the woman tries to give Clinton a pink dress and Hillary unloads on her? Can anyone make out what she is asking Hillary to do and why does Hillary get so angry?

[Sam Hill]

One of the CodePink harridans tried to give Hillary a "pink slip" (get it?) because she is for slaughtering innocent people in Baghdad.

Hillary said in response, "I am the Senator from New York and I will never put my people at risk."

The harridans respond, "YOU ARE, YOU ARE!" And Hillary fled the room.

By the way, this event was to give Hillary a "Pink Badge of Courage." Like they gave John Murtha that same day.

They never gave it to her. Of course she's earning it now.

[swheats]

Thanks it was more than I could handle to listen to the song and that code pink woman going on and on.

That would be something to hear in Hillary's own words considering her memory lapse now. I can't wait until she get's to the can't recall stage.

[SoftballMominVA]

That video is going to come back to bite her in the ass big time

One could hope

[aragona]

Why aren't big media doing their own digging and asking Mrs Clinton which one is true?//sarcasm off//.

This should be a news story. Even John Kerry would have this played back to him on Meet The Press. She should not get a pass.

Send a letter to all the news shows and demand they show this video (the relevant parts where she contradicts what she just said this week).

"She is ruthless and really needs and wants it"

While there are several on this forum who will tell you that those stolen FBI files were many years ago, the information in those was leveraged into deals that are being used now to prevent ANY prosecution or exposure of the evil and corrupt things that have gone on with her, all the way back to the 19670's.

ANYONE who would stay quiet and remain in the shadows when their husband was a rapist and philanderer, in my book, would NEVER be considered POTUS material, let alone a decent human being.

[Cementjungle]

Hillary could get caught red-handed in the nude holding up a bank and the MSM wouldn't report it.

[Sam Hill]

Rush Limbaugh is playing this again as we speak.

It's far worse. missus clinton was complicit. Listen to Juanita Broaddrick.

JUANITA BROADDRICK: They came in, but just before they did, the driver who'd gone to the airport to pick them up came over to me and said that--he was a local pharmacist in this area and I think he's relocated down to Fayetteville--but he told me--he said, "The whole topic of conversation from the airport was you and are you going to be there." He came over to me and said that and I really didn't know what to think about that.

The minute they came in the door--I'm standing over in the living room area and I see them come through the kitchen area and I see her going up to someone and they're pointing at me and I see him go the opposite direction. I assumed when they came in if I was still there that he might come up and say something.

But she made her way just as quick as she could to me. I almost got nauseous when she came over to me.

She came over to me, took ahold of my hand and said, "I've heard so much about you and I've been dying to meet you," or "been wanting to meet you." I can't--I'm just paraphrasing--and she said, "I just want you to know how much that Bill and I appreciate what you do for him."

And I said, "Thank you" and started to turn and walk away.

This woman, this little, soft-spoken--pardon me for the phrase--dowdy woman that would seem unassertive, took ahold of my hand and squeezed it and said, "Do you understand? Everything that you do."

I could have passed out at that moment and I got my hand from hers and I left. She was just holding onto my hand. Because I had started to turn away from her and she held onto my hand and she said, "Do you understand? EVERYTHING that you do," cold chills went up my spine.

That's the first time I became afraid of that woman.



SEAN HANNITY: Do you interpret that to mean that she knew about the incident?



JUANITA BROADDRICK: I certainly do. and thank you for keeping quiet.
