Hillary Blasts Bush on Fallujah Attacks
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blasted the Bush administration on Thursday for sending too few troops and not enough military equipment to Iraq, saying the of lack of U.S. resources contributed to the attacks in Fallujah that killed four U.S. workers on Tuesday.
"It was heartbreaking and horrible to see the desecration of the four men who were killed in Fallujah," Clinton told Democratic Party radio host Al Franken.
Calling Fallujah "one of the epicenters of Saddam Hussein's support," Sen. Clinton said, "Clearly we have to increase our response and make it more effective."
She then reminded:
"Of course I've been saying for more than a year that we didn't send in enough troops in the beginning. I think the administration wanted to do both Afghanistan and Iraq with as few troops and as limited a commitment as possible. I think it was a mistake."
Clinton said that Bush had made a critical error by not eliminating al Qaeda before attacking Iraq.
"I believe that whether or not you agree with the action in Iraq, the timing of it diverted resources and equipment like the Predators and many of our Special Ops and intelligence personnel from Afghanistan prior to getting the job done there with respect to completely eliminating the al Qaeda presence in Afghanistan."
The former first lady also had words of praise for Bush terrorism policy critic Richard Clarke, saying he did a good job in exposing "our shortcomings as a nation."
"Mr. Clarke has, I think, come across very credibly and knowledgeably about what he saw as our shortcomings as a nation, which is a totally fair assessment because we had never been up against an enemy like this before - and what we should be doing to protect ourselves."
Mrs. Clinton noted that Clarke's complaints about the Iraq war mirrored her own, saying, "he has made a very important point about the diversion of time, attention and resources and commitment from Afghanistan, which he argues has undermined the overall war against terror."
"He has to be taken very seriously," she added.
While critical of the Bush war policy, she said her husband's administration deserved a big part of the credit for U.S. military success in Iraq.
"So much that had proved successful had been developed during the Clinton administration, tried out in Bosnia and Kosovo, and lessons learned in places like Haiti and Somalia," she told Franken. "And I'm very proud of the very positive record that the Clinton administration had in helping to prepare the military for the future."

I posted this on another thread, but it must be repeated. The four security officers were escorting a convoy of food being delivered to this city. These b*****ds murdered them even though they were bringing food. The next convoy should pass by the city and take it elsewhere and let this scum starve.
To: NorseWood
You would think by now that at least SOME of these scum would have realized they ain't dealing with cuddles clinton no more. The worst thing they could do for themselves was to stage another Mogadishu with Marines fresh in country and WAITING and PRAYING for payback time.
I don't know a single soul who experienced the Blackhawk fiasco in Mogadishu who hasn't waited for revenge, both against clinton and his buds, the Islamowhackos. Here we go..... G-d bless America.

Hillary, shut up. First of all, it's the military that makes recommendations for the amount of troops that are assigned to a given area. I'm certain they know more about it that you do.
We ARE fighting AQ in Iraq, you dumb cluck. "Eliminate AQ?" What a traitorous whore you are. Our military despises you. And so do I.

Bill and Hillry did let their "leftist" coalition down, they could not protect Saddam and that UN "Oil for Food" scam.

PING.
Hillary BLASTS BUSH for not doing enough military action in Iraq - blames BUSH for the Fallujah carnage - MAJOR BARF BAG REQUIRED!
Listen to the bit$h:
""So much that had proved successful had been developed during the Clinton administration, tried out in Bosnia and Kosovo, and lessons learned in places like Haiti and Somalia," she told Franken. "And I'm very proud of the very positive record that the Clinton administration had in helping to prepare the military for the future."

Opportunistic slime! Hillary has not a clue about military tactics and is effin' two faced schemer when she says we should have more troops in Iraq. We send more boys to Iraq then the RATS cry out "we need a draft" "Vietnam quagmire"
Thanks for the ping.

Yeah-Mogadishu was different in that aspect that one was military victems, the other, civilian victems (who were helping distribute FOOD for heaven's sake)
But the events were alike in the brutal dragging and disregard, mutilation and trashing of human bodies.
Let's see...does anyone recall hitlery's comments as first (so called lady-pig is more like it, imho) regarding the Mogadishu incident?
Did she BLAME hot pants bubba for this failure? She must have. She is after all, consistent and honorable in her beliefs, right?
What a sick person this creep is.
Let's investigate her own aggressive actions....ie the police guard her vehicle struck and injured as she was hurrying to get to a campaign stop (actually to a plane taking her to a campaign stop) way back when. Let's she, did her compassion for those injured extend to this fat ankled bitch getting OUT of the vehicle to tend to the hurt police guard?
She is vile, driven to madness (literally) and truly, an enemy of America.

Hillary, Ted and the rest of the rats in positions of power are exactly what encourages these attacks and emboldens the terrorists every time they open their mouth and undermine the Commander in Chief.

The Bush factor
You know, it is easy to forget the 'promises' that Bill and
Hillary made while in office. It strikes home when it is
listed like this:
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six
and injured 1000; President Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
BUSH COVERED IT!
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five
U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
BUSH COVERED IT!
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which
killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton
promised that those responsible would be hunted down and
punished.
BUSH COVERED IT!
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which
killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those
responsible! would be hunted down and punished.
BUSH COVERED IT!
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and
injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
BUSH COVERED IT!
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000
people in New York and Washington, D.C. that are now dead
would be alive today.
BUSH TOLD THOSE FIREMAN -- THEY WOULD HEAR US TOO!
And, now that Bush is taking action to bring these people to
justice, we have Democrats charging him with being a war
monger...
AN INTERESTING QUESTION: This question was raised on a
Philly
radio call-in show. Without casting stones, it is a
legitimate
question. There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One
develops relatively cheap software and gives billions of
dollars to charity. The other sponsors terrorism. That being
the case, why was it that the Clinton administration spent
more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past eight years
than Osama bin Laden?
THINK ABOUT IT!
It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for
her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his
memoir yet to be written. This from two people who have
spent
the past 8 years being unable to recall anything about past
events while under oath!
Sincerely, Cmdr Hamilton McWhorter USN(ret)

The greatest contribution Air America will give to America is an unlimited source of stupid remarks by famous liberal politicians.
This network will be so much fodder for Rush and the rest it is unbelievable. They don't understand truth trumps propagana and their propaganda can't work until truth is squashed by the gov't. People know the truth when they hear it, especially when it is put side by side with a lie.

I listened to Randi Rhodes yesterday while Hannity was playing liberal.
After her comment that a mother using illicit drugs and killing her own baby would be put in jail because it is a federal crime and that the dumb bastard Bush sould realize that putting a woman in jail for killing her unborn baby is just stupid, I shook my head and went back to Hannity. Hannity was a better liberal if there is such a thing.
Then I had a moment of clarity and realized why I loathe RATS.
Using illicit drugs is a crime, although not a federal one. KERRY LIARS ALL OF THEM.

Well, I was severly flamed for seriously suggesting the following the week after 9/11: Bush should nuke the ME into a totaly radioactive wasteland, pull 'Waco' on all known cells in the US. Then, bring ALL resources home and clean out the stench that's rotting this country from within. Including the Beast, and this is why.
