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."

And I bet Schumer despises her too; but he's so morally bankrupt himself, there's nothing he'd ever do to show his displeasure with the fact that she's worse than he.

She is a complete disgrace. This thread must be close to an FR record for removed comments, and for good reason!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I can't say what I would do either for fear of being banned..

However, she would only be able to subsist on soup and mashed bananas for the remainder of her life..

Maybe some of it is tied in with national security and cannot be revealed now. Just a thought. I don't know but it's worth considering.

I have just sent Senators Roberts, Talent, Bond and Voinivich emails. On Monday they will get another email, followed closely by phone calls to each. I know we cant boot her out of the Senate, but to see her called out on TV and having to apologize nationally would be a good start. I intend to keep the pressure on like with Memogate.(I still call weekly to Talent and Bond about Memogate and the Judges)I just hope the story stays fresh until Monday.BTW did anyone see the slobbering article Al Jazeera wrote about Hillary? Shameful!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

We need to channel this energy. This should mean Hillary's political downfall in America.

The press brought us "Hillary's Walmart" tour of the heartland last summer. The press covered up Hillary's Old European treason tour where she sold out our nation and our troops to EU, UN pro-global socialists, comments made on foreign soil while our troops were in harm's way.

 "America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength." .. "for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other." ...Not only is a "globalized and integrated world" inevitable, it is a foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party...Der Spiegel concludes: As Europeans become more familiar with Clinton and her views, their impact will be felt as they bring money and influence to her or a like politician's campaign...The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians. ~ Hillary Clinton Der Spiegel interview, June 17, 2003. .

I'm with you sis. Too much of her mouth just went all over me more than usual this time. I've got a real top-notch son-in-law serving in Baghdad right now. He's in his 17th year in the Army and very politically savvy. He asks me pretty regularly how the people at home are feeling about their efforts. For that blight on American women to open her mouth and say those things deserves things for which I'd be banned here too!

[PhiKapMom]

You have my sympathy for having two of the worst Senators in the Senate. I still cannot believe she was elected!

[MissAmericanPie]

I think the bone of contention between the two parties is not the question of should globalism happen, but what form it should take, socialist democracies or democratic republics.

My conservative position is that globalism should never happen. No matter what form it takes, the E.U. model, or what ever, the road for all globalism ends in totalitarianism.

If other nations want to adopt our consitution, word for word, while respecting each others sovereignty fine, but the world should never come under the authority of International Law. And the Supreme Court has already sided with International Law against the Constitution. That is the biggest national security threat we are facing. Not terrorism, because as bad and dangerous as that is, one world governance is a far bigger threat.

[nicmarlo]

And I can't stand it....I have no recourse here. One's worse than the other. Unbelievable.

[DollyCali]

some of us MISSED the pix of you & laz on wallmart thread..

have a apost # or can you post it?

After readying H's crap it would be nice to have a laugh

[Wait4Truth]

lady, we can't just sit back and accept that nothing will be done. We must fight for it. This info will travel far and wide. Do not give up and let's all do our part.

[Wait4Truth]

And that is why hillary must be removed from office. That is the goal of the clintons. One world government. Bush is not for that. I think you know that.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Please thank your son-in-law for his service and his sacrifice..

Please also tell him not to listen to that vengeful creature, she's a pox on humanity!

We are so very proud of our military, and so humbled by them, They are our best and brightest.

I am also humbled by our Freepers who have loved ones serving there. How worried and lonely their vigil.

The closest I can come to that understanding is when my brother was in Viet Nam, thank God he made it back, but I swore to myself way back then, that if he went missing, I would move heaven and earth to find him..

As far as that vile creature, were I to encounter her, physicians everywhere would gather to marvel and study this new take on human anatomy.

My Best to you

Ms.B

[nicmarlo]

I hope God has an encounter with her, real soon.....I envision He giving her a one-way ticket, to the nearest furnace.

[cpdiii]

Does Hillary's broom have to go to full after burner to get to V2?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I sure hope you're right..and I hope it happens soon..

Seems to me lately that evil gets rewarded and good goes wanting..

Pray hard!

I wouldn't go as far as to wish her dead; but, I would have some good cigars and a fine bottle of port to celebrate the occasion.
