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."

"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."

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."

First off Hillary, one of those four men was a woman. You of all people should have noticed that, that is if you had taken time to get the facts straight before you, as you always do laid all the blame for every bad in the world upon Bush and Conservatism.

Your haste robbed you of a wonderful opportunity to make points with your feminazi adorers.

You were also ignorant to the fact that all four were contract civilians. Whatever equipment they did or did not lack was not the responsibility of Bush and the tax-payers, but the higharcy of the private company for which they worked.

Abe Lincoln had some good advice for simpleton's such as yourself, Mrs. Clinton: "Better to keep your stupid mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open that pie hole and remove all doubt." Or words to that effect.

It's only natural that since you were co-President during the frivilous years of your husband, Bogus Bill's Administration, and where as you dream of being co-President again, only this time as the Star of the Farce, that you would seek to compare the atrocity in Samalia to the atrocity in Fallujah, in order to make Bush appear as stupid and incompentent as you and Bill.

There is no comparison between the events in Fallujah and Samalia and you know it. Everyone else knows it too. The abused bodies in Samalia belonged to members of the Military forces of the United States and the atrocity only happened because urgent requests from the Commnanders in the field for proper armored equipment to control the situation was turned down. Our troops were sacrificed on the altar of politically correct-the clinton administration clowns didn't want to look too war like, as sending needed equipment would appear in their retarded minds.

The similar event in Fallujah was un avoidable, shit happens in war that cannot be forseen or prevented-this is one of those occasions. The only ones responsible are those who committed the atrosity and those who celebrated it. THe only way that the Bush Administration can be charged with being irresponsible in this situation is if they fail to squash all the scum in Fallujah like roaches. Or turn and run like scalded hounds as per the example set by the Clinton Admin after the Samalia atrocity.

Get lost Hillary! The only way you can get elected President is if rocks are registered to vote.

She can't even believe her own diatribe...wonder what a good dose of truth serum would do to her...
