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.

Michael Savage was talking about this just last night. The she-devil plans to portray herself as a Maggy Thatcher type regarding national security in her campaign for prez. Then just as she wins and takes over America, the Anti-Christ (bubba) takes over the rest of the world through the UN. God help us.

"Won't it be funny to watch the She Beast become a war monger?"She's now thrown in with the "merchants of death" and the "blood for oil" crowd. But the left will be conspicuously silent. Gee, I wonder why...

"I'm here for the pork barrel."I think we have a winner!
The witch goes where the money goes. She needs the assignment so she can sit in on the meetings and devise and plan her grab for military cash flow. She's on a learning mission strictly to benefit herself.

BAWWWHAAAA! Like she gives a hoot about her constituents' needs. Or, New York's.
This is simply a design to keep her face in the news and to add to her resume for a future run at the Presidency.
How can she be *that* powerful? And, don't tell me it's FBI files.
She can't have *that* much chutzpah. Can she? ;^(

Im speechless. It was just a matter of time before she wormed her way onto a committee where she could do the most damage. Her KGB,er,FSD handlers scored a major coup when they recruited her back in Wellesley.

Disgraceful. Can't Republicans block this?
To: LibWhacker
Maybe I should've used past tense . . . Couldn't Republicans have blocked this?

How the Hell does a Junior Senator get a position onthe Armed Forces Committee over more Senior Senators. May be that is the answer, she could be under Boxer andthe rest of the Female Senators.
PS Didn't the Republicians win the election and did not her Husband do enough to the US Military?
Go figure.........

Yes, of course RATS/Daschle make all the committee assignments for the minority.
But, beyond the awful symbolism, what is the big deal? RATS will be in the minority on all committees, and having Carl Levin as chairman or ranking member is a lot worse than PIAPS as its most junior minority member.
She is only doing this to strengthen her foreign policy credentials for a 2008 run for the presidency.

What a sick joke!
No one tells Hilary what committee to serve on. You can bet your ass that she wanted this assignment! What's it about? A twofer: Money & Mischief!
