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."

Good point. The Rats all say worse things about President Bush than they do about Saddam Hussein.
It speaks volumes about THEM.

If so, LET'S GET TO IT! This creature needs to be demoted to pariah status At a minimum, she needs to be removed from the committee. I can't even believe she is on there. Who makes these decisions? The same guy that hires Chinese nationals to work in our sensitive labs?
You couldn't make this stuff up it is just so insane.
And to everyone who thinks the whole country has her number--you vastly underestimate the level of brainwashing that has and is taking place. All anyone has to do is stand at a podium and declare concern for children and a love of diversity in any form. The robots acts accordingly. Oprah told 'em to.

If you think that will be a scream, can you envision the sound as she is taken below?
And half of the wailing will be from the staff of the neither world complaining that they did nothing to deserve the HillaBeast for eternity.

--Suggesting that they'll lose in Iraq and die. --Suggesting that the American people's support is fading. --Suggesting their bosses are failures who don't care about their lives.As I posted earlier, these are the worst statements she has made since becoming a Senator. There has to be a way we can protest her actions officially. Ill be calling the Senate bldgs on Monday, just like I spent a week doing, during the memo flap. This awful woman has just declared war.

If there ever was a time for us to act, it is now. Amen. Hannity, Rush, Boortz...let's make sure this story gains the HIGH-PROFILE status it deserves. This needs to be water-cooler conversation..."Did you hear what Hillary said to the troops..?" Let's get to work.

That is close to treasonous -- an elected official being on foreign soil, decrying American foreign/military policy, in a war zone, to the American troops fighting in that war zone.
Clinton's words are Despicable!
No... the way her Sick mind works, that is Patriotism. Now that is Truly Warped

If these quotes and circumstances attributed to Hillary Clinton in Iraq are accurate as reported here, surely this is damning evidence that this womans life is nothing but a woeful shuffle on a long waiting line to Hell. Nothing of God is in her save the sweet air of His creation corrupted briefly by her lungs. I cant possibly imagine how any person could cast a vote in the future for this truly pathetic woman for any elected office in the USA.

Where is the video"We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."
- I am nearly sure I saw her say this on FoxNews this morning. I had it on since 3:00 a.m. to see the reactions to all the visits. The Dems. should be ashamed of themselves.

Hillary, you and your leftist rhetoric and most of your dem cohorts are the primary reason for any "uncertain outcome". BTW - the majority of our military knows this about you. Go home.
