Senator Clinton Questions General David Petraeus Committee Hearing
clinton.senate.gov ^ | September 12, 2007

Posted on 09/14/2007 8:29:57 AM PDT by khnyny

Senator Clinton: I want to thank both of you, General Petraeus, Ambassador Crocker, for your long and distinguished service to our nation. Nobody believes that your jobs or the jobs of the thousands of American forces and civilian personnel in Iraq are anything but incredibly difficult.

But today you are testifying about the current status of our policy in Iraq and the prospects of that policy. It is a policy that you have been ordered to implement by the president. And you have been made the de facto spokesmen for what many of us believe to be a failed policy.

Despite what I view as your rather extraordinary efforts in your testimony both yesterday and today, I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.

So, Clinton called General Patraeus a liar on Tuesday - and she wants to lead the Armed Forces of the United States?

Remember that she and Bill 'abhor' the military.

Someone will, I hope, when the time is right.

Another unbelievable part of this Clinton train wreck, (at least to moi) is that Clinton just said that the surge is “apparently working” when she addressed the VFW Convention on August 20th of 2007 - that was what, 3 weeks before the General’s report?

With obvious flip-flops and blunders like these, it certainly makes the Pubbies job much easier, lol.

I suspect that, in her psychopathic mind, everyone is a liar. After all, she lies so readily and constantly, someone doing otherwise is inconceivable.

I don’t support him as the candidate for POTUS but that is an excellent ad.

“Willing suspension of disbelief.”

Does that actually mean anything?

Dennis Miller she ain’t..

Rush nailed it today:

Not one Democrat asked General Petraeus what they could do to help our forces win in Iraq!

That includes Senator Clinton.

As another poster pointed out on another thread “willing suspension of disbelief” is a phrase often used by readers of fiction. See here:

So do it again using a NY address.

Here’s one that should work (pulled entirely at random):

10200 SR 28
Forestport, NY 13338

Anything that Hillary Clinton says requires more than willing suspension of disbelief, it requires the listener to be high on mind-altering drugs.

Res ipsa loquitur, the thing speaks for itself.

And, it always makes me wonder why so many on the right fear this woman. Clearly, she has only two core beliefs, her belief in her own quest for power and her belief that Marxist Socialism is the route that she will take to achieve that power. If you look at everything else, she's just another shallow political hack. I used to think she was the brains behind Hillbillery, but I've since realized she's really not that bright. Devious, yes, bright, no. She chooses to personally destroy people because she cannot argue from a factual standpoint. Intellectual debate supported by facts will end her quest and if the 'Pubbies will really nail her, like Rudy's ad, and keep doing it, I seriously doubt she'll win the nomination. Imagine, a future without the Clinton's.......
