Hillary to Troops: Support for War Fading

Moderator note: I know it's going to be tough, but, please watch the calls for violence against this creature.

In a demoralizing message to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq, visiting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told them that Americans back home are growing increasingly skeptical of President Bush's decision to send them into battle.

Describing two meetings with G.I.s over turkey dinners in Baghdad, Sen. Clinton told reporters later that soldiers wanted to know "how the people at home feel about what we are doing."

Clinton said she told the troops, "Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the (Bush) administration's policies."

She also suggested that the U.S. could eventually loose the war in Iraq, contending, "We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."

Despite her sour pronouncements, the former first lady insisted that the soldiers were just as glad to see her as they were President Bush, whose surprise visit less than 24-hours earlier was greeted with standing ovations.

"It's a positive for the commander-in-chief to visit troops in the field," Clinton told reporters, adding, "the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself."

Speaking from a secure location just over the Kuwaiti border, Mrs. Clinton launched one verbal salvo after another at the White House, arguing that Bush officials had been "obsessed" with getting Saddam Hussein and saying the perception blinded them to the difficulties of deposing his regime.

"The Pentagon tried to make do with as few troops as possible, as light a footprint as they could get away with," Clinton said. "Now, we're playing catchup . . . Unfortunately, I don't think they fully appreciated the conditions we would encounter."

The top Democrat also reprised her charge that the White House is being less than candid when it comes to apprising the American people of the costs of the war.

"The obstacles and problems here are much greater than the administration usually admits to," she said, adding, "Everybody has to be honest."

"After passage by two separately elected Legislatures and approval by the voters in a general election."

What constitutes two seperately elected legislatures?

Why do we continue to suffer these people??? WHY?

You really want to know? Do you really want to know? It's because all you "caring" citizens don't face the f***ing facts!

Until YOU (All of you) expose the lamesream media who protect her and promote her outrightly, you may be stuck with the creature. Everyone talks about the evil of Hillary. GET REAL. The REAL EVIL in our country is the sycophantic, helpful, promoting media who create her image for the uninformed voters in this country.

For God's sake, GET REAL. It's the f***ing lamesteam media producers and directors who are the movers and shakers of this weasel.

God, get real!

It's up to you all and me to individually point this out in your local newspapers' mailbags, and in any other way that you can. Do it! My Lord, it's important.

especially, how can she make these comments when the commander in chief was just there who was also met with standing ovations. This is testament to Hillary's incorrigable nature, she just can't help it, she's evil beyond hope.

Long time lurker, new poster.
The article referred to the hildabeast as a "Top Democrat". What does that say about the current status of the dim party?
I think the hitlery was mega mad that our great President upstaged her (taxpayer paid ) trip to visit the folks that she and her husband loathed when they were in the White House.

The key is two elected legislatures. What constitutes that?

I'm GUESSING, this means after TWO further elections, IF the proposed RECALL bill is still approved, then it can go to the people to vote on....but I'm ONLY GUESSING. I have no clue.

Exactly! And any discomfort she gave the troops by her disgusting words make her so very close to the devil.

We need someone more familiar with NY Election law and NY constitution, etc., IMHO. But, regardless, it's apparent, right now, there seems to be NO RECALL procedure for ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL in NY.

The Clintons are clearly Republican deep cover agents. And we thought the Chinese were into long-term strategy...

Doesn't that suck in this instance. I'm guessing, it's only been one legislature. Whatever number your state congress is, chucky will have to go through re-election, and that would be the second for her. After that, then a vote by the people. Now do you need a number of signatures to garner a recall petition, to even put this on a ballot?
