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."

Thank God for her supreme ignorance. SlutAlinskyWoman.

[nicmarlo]

I agree....but can't happen in NY....yet.

[ladyinred]

YOU ARE A GENIUS,

Gotta agree with you on this one too. Mia is something. She doesn't post often, but when she does it is always fantastic!

[thesummerwind]

I'd rather have the dark meat. Send that white, pompous head out to the compost pile for MORE degeneration!

[thesummerwind]

Yes!

No recall in N.Y.
By JEREMY WALLACE

THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: August 31, 2003)

The recall process in California can't repeat itself here.

Unlike California, New York has no provision in its state constitution that allows a recall of the governor, according to a spokesman for the state Board of Elections....

[oceanview]

have any other news outlets picked up this story? it just seems too "hot", any video clips of her saying these things?

[thesummerwind]

Go to sleep.

[Republican Wildcat]

Although it seemed impossible, she has reached another new low. Words fail to come to me to accurately describe what a disgusting person she is.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT your post

[ladyinred]

Oh what a good letter. I got on the telephone and screamed like a wild banshee maniac and expect a visit from the FBI by Monday if not before! :-) I should have waited until I calmed down and could be more sensible like you were.

While in AOL's Rush Limbaugh room last week, I couldn't help but remark that "Hillary Clinton is traveling to Afghanistan to visit the troops in the tradition of Ms. Fonda." The libidiots in the room went ballistic, jumping to the conclusion I'd intended but not said outright.

I never thought the *@(#&$# would be so STUPID as to insult the Commander-In-Chief AND the troops all in one toxic breath. I don't know if I had an inkling of what was to come, or the creature just met the obscenely low standards Democrats already have.

I certainly hope the anger and outrage I see on this thread is not just a temporary blowing off of steam.

Monday would be a good day to call your Senators and demand some action be taken against the Hildabeast. If there is never any challange that they continue to issue against our foundations ever met, is there is no day of reckoning, no glove slapped across the face, what are we worth?

If they must hate America, if they must work to undermine her, socialize her, marxize her, let them do it far from these shores, in the safety of France or anyother socialist paradise of their choosing. We cannot continue to tolerate their destruction and claim innocence to the eventual demise of America as we know it. Is she worth preserving or not?

[nicmarlo]

First: Look on this thread for many repeats/substantiations from sources other than Newsmax. Second: Then go back to sleep.
