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 REAL GLAD TO SEE ME IN YOU FACE MAKING TEARS OF DISPAIR BY ME TELLING YOU, YOU DOOMED.....
BEFORE I GO I ALSO LET YOU KNOW; "I ARE BABOON!
It appears that we all have to live with her across the Union. Gee, thanx New York.
Her dad must have had major issues with her and could you blame him?
No one likes you Hillary!
Nothing, we just want to get rid of her. LOL!
Excellent point!
1)She is without a doubt, the most despised women in America...not just men...women hate her too!!
Not borne out by the polling data I've seen.
2)She has political baggage unprcidented in the annals of American history.
Baggage that neither Bush nor the media will touch. So far, she hasn't been held accountable for anything.
3)She is a known con women who shredded documents when she was under fire. Also this holds true for her quintessential bulldyke friends whom SHE got hired...Janet the "torch Reno, and Donna "BULLDYKE" Shalala.
See answer to #2.
4)She and her husband(ersatz husband) are well known for being inveterate liars.
It hasn't mattered a bit because their constituency is composed of similarly inveterate liars.
5) Bill Clinton, in spite of his histrionics, bit lip(only whemn he is cought in a bare-faced lie) is a well known, well unrepected male slut in the eyes of most females. Hey, he married the wretch now his bed is made.
So? Most liberals would be jealous of such traits and wish they could get away with it too.
6) Hillary has a history of being a Marxist-Leninist Pinky....all the way back to high school. We conservatives will leave no stone unturned to uncover, and highlight her political transgressions.
Turn over all the rocks you want. Nobody will hear about it. So, how about those memos?
If the market tanks under the assaults of the likes of Soros, Rockefeller, and Buffet, and she runs, the evil bitch stands a better than even chance of winning.
They'd likely get us all on this anyway as we suspcted this would happen. ;-)
