Washington-AP) -- Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will join the Senate Committee on Armed Forces.

Clinton, who has already been a member of the Budget and Environment committees, joins the Armed Forces Committee at a time when the United States military faces a possible war with Iraq, a nuclear standoff with North Korea, and the ongoing threat from al Qaida.

The committee's jurisdiction includes all the national security programs at the Department of Defense, as well as the nuclear programs at the Department of Energy.

She is the first New York senator to serve on the committee since it was formed in 1947.

Clinton said now she ``will be better able to support New York's military bases and ensure that New York's defense industry continues to play a significant role in fulfilling the needs of our armed forces.''

New York State is home to a number of important installations, including the military academy at West Point and Fort Drum, where the 10th Mountain Division trains.

"...those are our planes now."

I remember it well, Argus. When the north Korean communists went to war against the south in the 50s, not a peep was heard from the "anti-war" left -- not until we went to war against the communists. Then suddenly they all re-discovered their "pacifism."

'Twas ever thus.

[kabar]

Just another item to add to her resume when she runs for President. I am sure there was plenty of arm-twisting to get her that plum position. She can now claim to be a security expert.

[X-USAF]

BUMP

She is the first New York senator to serve on the committee since it was formed in 1947.

My, what a way to bring New York to the committee, eh?

[Bonaparte]

"...sees every military dollar as one stolen from social programs."

If she ever succeeds in turning our country into a communist dictatorship, you can be sure she'll maintain a huge military establishment.

[SteamShovel]

This is her attempt at creating a "Military Record" for her 2008 presidential run. I can't believe they would give her the clearance necessary. This is bad.

[Russell Scott]

Exactly what Savage was saying the other day. That Hillary would suddenly become a hawk, in order to deceive the people into electing her.

[null and void]

W.A.S.S.

We Are So Screwed

[EternalVigilance]

Hubby misses his intelligence briefings?

Bingo!

[null and void]

How can she be *that* powerful? And, don't tell me it's FBI files.

The Demon possessed one has a powerful master...

[Pagey]

"...The committee's jurisdiction includes all the national security programs at the Department of Defense, as well as the nuclear programs at the Department of Energy..."

Good Grief!!! #42 gives it all away and N.Y Liberals elect her Jr. Sen. of N.Y. and now she's on this committee?What on earth have we,as a nation done, to deserve such a fate? Hmmm? If you thought Sen. Leahy was bad several years ago,by giving up Classified Information, what do you think this beast is capable of? This is the worst news I've read in the 1st 2 weeks of this year.Imagine Mrs. FBI Files herself-- HER--- in possession of classified material.That is a completely irrational thought! I wonder what Don Rumsfeld thinks about this.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Bush's fault, right?

[null and void]

Exactly what Savage was saying the other day. That Hillary would suddenly become a hawk, in order to deceive the people into electing her.

Wasn't that only yesterday???

[mitchbert]

Folks, you have to find a way to stop this. Hillary can not be trusted in any way shape or form with confidential national security information in her present position. Anything she knows that she can use to further her own ambition will take priority over what is good for America. We've already established that Bill and most likely her had no issue with selling out America's nuclear secrets to China, what makes you think that she wouldn't go even further to set up run for the White House? And remember, she has Bill's help all along the way. Be afraid. Very afraid.

Let me pose a hypothetical scenario to everyone here. Hillary finds out that GWB is about to order a tactical strike on NK's nuclear facilities. Bill finds out. Somehow, China finds out. What happens now? An attack on Taiwan to really muddy the waters, or a first strike on Seoul and the 37,000 American troops? "Wow", they'll say, that "GWB is really a dummy, eh? His belligerance was the cause of this tragedy."

I'm being a little flippant in my description but you get the idea. Think about it. Anyone willing to argue that either Billary or Hillary aren't capable in our eyes of doing exactly what I describe above? Even if thousands die? Well?

Baby steps turn into giant strides. Stop the Hildebeast from taking her baby steps. If you don't, a giant may appear from nowhere, and those that summoned him will be standing aside surveying the destruction with grins on their faces.

Eh.

[putupon]

The Chicoms have already put in a bid for some warheads to go with the missiles she and Bubba sold them.

[flamefront]

Not that kind of money - the real money is in the "peace dividend" later.

[dalebert]

What an insult to the country.

[lorrainer]

bump for later

[A CA Guy]

She will either bury herself with her own true views or end up making like the anti-Christ and come out like she has always been a great military backer, so she can be electable in NY and perhaps go for the WH in 2008!

[Quix]

Only DILLDO could make TV extremely worse than

A VAST WASTELAND.

[goldilucky]

Gee am I really supposed to get all hot and bothered over this Bill Clinton after all the crap he put this Country through in the eight years of his presidency? Get real C-Span.
