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.

Unfortunately it is for real. I swear that woman is in charge of the Democreeps in the Senate! How can the other Democreeps let someone who has held no previous office take over like that? All because she can raise more money than anyone else can? This shows how pathetically stupid they are.

She and her cronies and their daily display of hate and disdain for those in the military are about to further be rewarded. Disgusting.

I just called Senators Bond and Talent's offices in DC, expressing my extreme displeasure with this appointment. Both people I talked to sounded surprised that I wanted the Senators to lodge a protest. I cant believe this is happening.....

...Friend of HO CHI MINH during the Vietnam War ..HILLARY RODHAM's.. now sitting on our U.S. Senate's Armed Services Committee isn't about her credentials to run for President, which she is now doing anyway.
...It is about ..HILLARY RODHAM's.. soaking in what America is doing to protect itself in time of war...
...and then countering it.
The Enemy is now Within ..and always has been.

When she runs for prez, she'll probably try to claim this as military expertise.

Well, as Hollywood leftie Ron Silver said, watching the Air Force flyover during Bubba Clinton's first inaugural, "It's okay - those are our planes now."

Please tell me this is a sick joke? Unless a hold is placed I have two sons in the military who are about to get out. This does it. I will not encourage them to re-up which they both have been thinking about.

I want to know how a junior Senator with just 2 years in the Senate gets this kind of position. Instead of "Serving" on the Armed forces Committee, She should be "Serving" a prison sentenceHow? When GW had the chance to sic his new justice dept on them HE FAILED. That's the answer. Why? Because he, like all, who get the that top position are compromised. That's why Reagan & Buchanan & Nader were so villified by the media elites,etc. The elites would have lost their total control if a "real" person was watching out for the people got elected.

It's just like putting Satan in charge of the ethics committee.
To: CindyDawg
sadly, the folks who said the beast would never make the senate are saying it'll never be president.
this evil must be confronted and countered at each and every turn.

...never has a first lady - now US Sen. had more disdain for America's military than this...woman? ...And don't forget her lesbian WH staff, who told a high ranking officer they encountered while walking near the WH, "We don't have to salute you guys."

Ahh but one thing for sure the Democreep voters are not happy when she voted yes on the War in Iraq. They have not forgotten that - we should let them be reminded shouldn't we? In some of the Democreep's eyes she is a traitor (or am I just having delusions again - where are my meds?)
