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."

Great "would have been removed" post! Too clever.

[jocwhales]

I'm glad I read this thread...for the most part, anyway. I will look into that site myself. Support from the home folks means a lot, I am sure.

[Indy Pendance]

Thank you for digging up this info. And very valuable to this thread.

[thesummerwind]

As Butch Cassidy told Sundance; "Don't sugarcoat it, Sundance, just tell it like it is."

Thank you!

[deadeye2]

She's a swine. A vulgar little maggot. A worthless bag of filth. etc.

Was this Wet Willie's journal entry from his honeymoon night?

[nicmarlo]

yw, Indy....I had been told by some NYer's, during Gray Davis' recall, there is no provision, currently, in NY to allow such a thing.....

[Calpernia]

>>>>as a Christian I shouldn't be feeling what I am feeling.

Bullcrap. The only way I can describe how I feel is like this woman just came into my home and threatened my children. I know, these aren't children and I don't have any children over there. But I think it is a justified feeling. She is threatening our troops by supporting the enemies psyops efforts.

Common as in cheap and low average in a lot of ways.

In others,

UNCOMMONLY AWFUL.

[Howie66]

Oh no!! And here I thought that c-rats (We didn't have MREs when I was in....) were not fit for human consumption...... This is really too much!

[buffman]

When is this lesbian going to come out and admit that her so called marriage to that scumbag has been a farce all these years.

[sweetliberty]

"That is close to treasonous"

Close to? I think it is worse than that.

[sweetliberty]

"The morale of the troops, she said, "is very high"

No thanks to her.

[sarge4]

EEEEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLL ...TTTTTRRREEEESSSSOOOONNNIIISSSSTTT!!

[Quix]

I agree. Her Hideous Heinous seems to be really scraping the bottom of the cesspool now.

About the time we think she can't go any lower, she finds some new scum to lick and smear on everyone's faces and in everyone's ears.

Lord, let her dreams all be nightmares haunting her with the hideous horrors she'd like to visit on the planet with her in charge. Ler her nightmares repeately put her through the same horrors only on the bottom of the pile.

[Quix]

I strongly agree.

Though, I think pariah class is toooooooo lofty for her and her cohorts.

YOU ARE AS GENIUS

OH, you've heard that before!

This is my first posted thread here since I've only been here for just a little over 24 hours, but I've read you for so long.

YOU ARE A GENIUS, not to be redundant. :)

[At _War_With_Liberals]

I doubt if Heillary will 'survive' the general election.

[Quix]

I think you're right. The closest she probably ever came to being adjusted was after 100 trips to a chiropractor.

[madison10]

You're right; she won't WIN it, but she is not above buying and stealing it.

...or worse.
