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."

"I know the Bible says to love thy brother, and I want to do right by the Lord, but this miserable wench is making it very difficult!"

Let me see if I can help. The Bible also says, "he who hates his brother without cause is a murderer." My understanding of the scriptures is that when the term "brother" is used, it is referring to brothers (or sisters) in Christ. Do you really believe this psycho-b*tch from hell is sister in Christ? I mean would it even be possible for a sister is Christ to do or say some of the evil things she does and says? I have no guilt about hating her, and I believe that if she were a sister in Christ that God would cause my conscience to experience guilt.

Now, that "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" can be a bit of problem....so I guess we're back where we started, huh?

Looks like this one covers Hil. It pretty well covers most of the media, too.

Is it okay if I wish that a camel urinates on Ol' Crusty?

"--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.

This story needs to grow wings and fly to every radio talk host and news outlet in the country."


Agreed. Here's a starting list of talk radio stations:

I'm working on a draft email for WGN and will post it when I'm finished.

Freepers, Let's Roll!

Make it WE honestly loathe you........

How do we define a traitor? Any RAT, but especially those like Hiltery wo undermine the war effort by such idotic statements as she made to the soldiers. What a piece of manure!

[ChemistCat]

It's really amazing nobody lost it. A real tribute to military discipline.

My husband says that he wouldn't have taken a swing at her but would have pointed out that it's the DEMOCRATS that are the problem with not supporting the troops or the President's policy.

DID SHE MENTION 9/11 ONCE? OF COURSE NOT.

THE DEMS WANT IT FORGOTTEN--EVEN NY'S JUNIOR SCENTATOR--OLD CRUSTY--DOESN'T WANT AMERICA TO REMEMBER WHY WE WANTED TO TAKE THE WAR TO THE TERRORISTS (almost typed DEMOCRATS) instead of WAITING FOR THEM TO BRING IT TO US AGAIN!!!!

[Toespi]

So, uh, let's roll!

[sweetliberty]

"Why can't WE hold her accountable? Why can't we file charges?"

I don't know. Perhaps we can. It would take someone with a lot more legal knowledge than I have to answer that.

The difference in the people is amazing. Ear to ear grins with Bush and frowns with the old witch. LOL

Not one Democrat has mentioned her new dog, Senator Harry Reid. I guess she's tired of using Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep Jerrold Nadler ( NYC district ) as whipping boys ( the only nice way I could think of to post this ). Reid is also on the trip, but you would never know it from the media.

The only good thing to come out of this visit was that it was good cover for President Bush's trip. Secret Service advance teams doing their work aren't easy to hide.

[the invisib1e hand]

So, uh, let's roll!

Let's roll, indeed!

[thesummerwind]

It's somewhat hard to believe that she is stupid enough to say, "Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the (Bush) administration's policies." This is just very ignorant. She's a clod, but this is real stupid.

[Squantos]

She and Morris were key to getting the clintonistas where they are today. I'm not one who sees Susan or Dick as someone to ever trust. But as long as they are kicking dirt on this seditious BigItch I'll hold their coat.......

Stay Safe !

As much as we all despise it, the only posts we've removed are the most damaging. Sorry, but, you know they would be used against us.

[muggs]

Sheesh, I'm not a big Bush supporter, but HC is an evil bitch and that's about the nicest thing I can say about her.
