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."

She is evil. What kind of a senator, for heaven's sake, would attempt to demoralize the troops fighting with their very lives to defend our security, rout out evil people and free an entire nation?

I dispise her, and would be tempted to spit in her path should she ever approach my space.

I am not surprised that she had to meet with small groups .... she would be BOOED if she tried to take her sorry self into the midst of the troops.

Everything has to be scripted with hillary, because what she is is known, and disliked. And she knows it.

"...can't seem to get thru to any of the senate sites this a.m."

Corin, I got thru to Warner, Voinovich, and Allen today.

What an evil vile bitch! Too bad I can't say what I really think of her.

[CindyDawg]

I see one that seems to be turning away and one writing. I wonder if any of these guys are her people in fatigues. Can you make the photo larger?

[sultan88]

"Is that his name?? I've been calling him "What's-his-face from RI" all weekend, LOL."

Well actually her lap dog is Senator Reed from Rhode Island, not the loathsome Senator Reid from Nevada.

[sultan88]

I'm going to contact Michael Graham of WRVA to see if he will discuss this on his afternoon talk show tomorrow.

[millimah]

I don't know about treasonous- but it certainly could be seditious.


Treasonous? Seditious? These are accuasations that can be leveled at human beings. This woman is pure evil.

2 questions, is anybody up for this and if so, does anybody know how to go about organizing such a thing?

First thing to do is stage it as an anti-war, pro democrat rally. Then, do a turnabout on em and see how they like us now !!

[gnawbone]

You wouldn't happen to be in Gnawbone, Indiana would you?

Well, I don't actually live in beautiful downtown Gnaw Bone, I live about 1 mile from there.

Sometimes when I get wound up I call Lugar but I call Bayh if I am even only mildly annoyed. They have reached the point now where they say, "Now what, Kent?" when I call. I figure if you are going to be a Democrat and represent me you are not going to have fun doing it. I try to make them want to retire ..... in reality Bayh probably just has a high turnover rate with the knuckleheads that answer the phone.

Feel sorry for all those from New York that had to report to her evil presence!

[sultan88]

"Me too. I'm new here and I don't know if I'm suppossed to say; bump, or ditto, or bttt or ping or whatever... BUT I think Red Dawn should be required video for all high school freshmen along with reading ANIMAL FARM."

Thanks for bumping and a ping back to you, my FRiend.

Agree that the movie "Red Dawn" should be required viewing for our high school freshmen.

[JustPiper]

"Red Dawn" is a movie I try to watch a couple times a year just to remind me of what *could* happen.

I told my kids when Red Dawn came out it was the scariest movie I've ever seen, not some horror flick. I'm like you, it always stays forefront in my mind and also watch it a few times a year. I own the laser, wayyyyyyy before DVD came out -g-

[sultan88]

"Actually, as I just said in my recorded message to Orrin Hatch, (toll free 800-648-3516) "I believe every celebrity in the Senate is a lapdog of Hillary Saddam Clinton ..."

Beautiful!!!

[millimah]

SNOW: "What does this do about her credibility within the DEM party."


My guess is since the Democratic party doesn't know what credibility is, it's not applicable.

[sultan88]

'Dru, I can't believe you haven't responded on this thread with your biting wisdom tinged with appropriate sarcasm. I am anxious to hear your views on the beast's treasonous comments in the midst of the war zone.

(Or was it your posts that were removed by the moderator??)

I would like to add a required reading:
America's 30 years War, who is winning,,by the late Balint
Vazsonyi, he lived under communist Hungary, came to this country became a citizen, a concert pianist and an activist. He tried to tell folks that what he grew up under is what the liberal politicians want.
This is an astonishing book. Please read it.
Everything the liberals expouse has already happened in Hungary under communism.
