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 she'll do the same thing tonight that she does every night: Try to take over the world..."

You are right about this MH, lol. I'd rather live under the rule of The Brain than that of Shillary.

But can't you just see Bill as her Pinkie?

[Moonmad27]

Bump to your Ethics Committee info - people need to email them about this horrible excuse for a human being. What Hillary said to deflate the morale of the troops, right after our President sent their morale soaring, needs to be reported widely. I hope both Rush and Sean Hannity pick up on this in next weeks' shows.

"Hillary Plays Second Banana"

 

Now that is a word picture that I could have lived without.

[leadpenny]

Thanks Takoma. I like your thoughts and gotta run. Will catch up from here later. What a bee I itch!

[Peach]

There are several of us who so despite the evil person that our passionate anger got the best of us.

Better that than those in the outside world who don't understand what she's all about. However, I will be more cautious and careful in my remarks about her.

We need a group think sort of word like Rush's dittos.

[Calpernia]

I remembered your dream about the parade....And that paradoxical thought just came to mind.

No reason...just emotional overload.

[varon]

I wouldn't shed a tear if her broom on the return trip crashed into a mountain!

[Peach]

I'll bump to your bump. LOL

[Teacher317]

ONE HEAD - ONE PIKE!!! Metaphorically speaking.(not a call for violence) ;^)

You only got away with that one because of your FR name!

**Wishing MY FR name was "Evisceration after a long holiday with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch" or something equally classy**

[Peach]

despite=despise. See, I so hate her I can't type or spell.

[thesummerwind]

She won't win the Presidency.

I hope you are right. But look at how many voted for Gore. I fear the lamesream media will protect her enough to get her there. I really do. The Lamestream media still rules.

[soozla]

"Everybody has to be honest."

Hey wait....you forgot to put in the rest of her statement.........."Something that my husband and I are totally incapable of EVER being....why if he had paid more attention to the job he was elected to do, kept his pants zipped and his stories straight, why we wouldn't be in the predicament we're in now, would we??

[R. Scott]

I admire your constraint. I had typed up a response that would have had me barred. I decided to read further before posting.
What you said, X 10.

[nicmarlo]

LOL! Is this better?

"Hillary Plays Second Banana"

[Wait4Truth]

What I am thinking right now could never be typed on this forum. I would be banned for life. I pray that we do not just vent and move on. We need to take action even more strongly than we did regarding the Reagan movie. This is far more important.

[Calpernia]

Ok...so how to we file this? Can we levy this charges?

And bump to that!

Please include post 301 when you mega ping this.

[Bringbackthedraft]

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE (FR LAND)FROM THE 10TH ID Mt. WHO CAN GIVE US A REPORT ON HER VISIT AND HER ARRIVAL RECEPTION BY THE TROOPS?

[soozla]

Should read "Hillary BITES Second Banana"

[cardinal4]

I hope you are right. But look at how many voted for Gore. I fear the lamesream media will protect her enough to get her there. I really do. The Lamestream media still rules.

Im not so sure, Ill bet two weeks after Gore started his treachery, moderate people who voted for him were sorry they did so. I further believe that if they held the entire election all over again, he would have lost big time, based on actions during the recount and the tricks he tried to pull. This would have all been academic if the boob could have won his own state..
