In remarks being reported throughout the Arab world Tuesday morning, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blasted the Bush administration as a threat to peace in the Middle East, going so far as to accuse the President Bush of endangering the lives of U.S. troops. Sen. Clinton delivered the unprecedented attack in an interview with the London-based Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on Monday, with newspapers from Tehran to Islamabad picking up her harsh words almost immediately. Typical was the coverage by Tehran's news agency Mehr, which quoted Clinton as saying that "the U.S. is trapped in the quagmire of Iraq." "Referring...

Last Tuesday, we pointed out comments made by Sen. Hillary Clinton to an Arab newspaper, blasting the Bush administration. She said of the Bush administration: "Their stubbornness and arrogance is breathtaking. And, as a result, we continue to go down a path that I think is fraught with horrible dangers, especially for the young men and women serving in Iraq, but also for Iraqis, for the stability of the region." Her complaints were published by Arab newspapers and repeated across the Middle East. I reminded the senator that she and other public figures have to be extremely careful about what...

TEHRAN, April 26 (MNA) — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s wife believes that the policies adopted by the U.S. President George W. Bush threaten peace and security in the Middle East, a daily reported on Monday. Hillary Clinton, the New York Democrat senator, told the London-based Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat said that the Bush Administration had not openly and clearly told the U.S. people about the human and financial tolls of the war on Iraq. The democrat Senator stressed that the U.S. is trapped in the quagmire of Iraq. It can not free itself from the country. Referring to the...

Sunday, December 7, 2003 Dateline DC: Hillary's road to Boston Politically speaking, this past Thanksgiving Day could be momentous for all of us. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was shown on hundreds of television stations across the globe visiting the U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq. Not only does it earn her the award for being the Queen of Keen, but also the opinion of a veteran analyst of past presidential elections. "If anybody now believes that she won't run for the White House next year they are out of their minds! That woman would not have taken the risks of being...

Mail system gets in gear just in time MICHAEL GILBERT; The News TribuneNEAR DULUIYAH, Iraq - For a while, the running joke at the Stryker base camp was that after U.S. forces captured Saddam Hussein, the most elusive item in Iraq was the brigade's mail. Postal delivery has been spotty since the brigade arrived in Kuwait in mid-November. Sharon Armeni of Tacoma says that the importance of mail, both for the sender and the recipient, can't be overestimated. She is the mother of Lt. Damon Armeni of B Company of the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry. "We've made tapes of his...

Hillary Clinton returned from her visit to Iraq to denounce President Bush's secret Thanksgiving visit to the troops as a 'politically-motivated publicity stunt'. It was typical of the increasingly bizarre behavior of the liberal left wing. Did Senator Clinton think that nobody would notice that she was also in Iraq? What was she there for? To boost troop morale? While the Bush visit was accompanied by cheers and standing ovations from the troops, Hillary's reception was a bit cooler. President Bush told the troops America was behind them and that victory was certain. Senator Clinton, on the other hand, told...

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- New York Senator Hillary Clinton said the U.S. should use the opportunity created by the capture of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to increase the involvement of the United Nations and NATO in Iraq's reconstruction. Clinton, a Democrat, called for the U.S. to form an Iraqi reconstruction and stabilization authority -- including the UN and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization -- to oversee the planned changeover next July to a transitional government from U.S. control. Clinton said the handoff, coupled with the rotation of U.S. troops in Iraq at that time, may increase attacks by insurgents...

Former Clinton White House adviser Dick Morris called it Hillary's "badwill tour of Iraq." Certainly Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's grousing to the troops brought no wild cheers, unlike the scene when President George W. Bush showed up unannounced on Thanksgiving Day to serve turkey to servicemen and women on combat duty in Baghdad. According to some reports, she is so unpopular among the armed forces that her Pentagon minders had to assign soldiers to greet her. The former first lady, touted by many Democrats as their best hope at wresting the presidency from Bush in 2004, insisted that she had...

Even outraged leaders within its ranks say that the Democratic Party has been playing with treason in an attempt to destroy the nation´s wartime Republican president. "Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged" - that's what President Abraham Lincoln said during the War Between the States. While none have suggested such extreme measures in the midst of the war on terrorism, Lincoln's approach illustrates the deadly seriousness of political responsibility in wartime and draws a fine line between legitimate political dissent and aiding...

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York sharply criticized President Bush's policies in Iraq during an unusual series of back-to-back appearance on the Sunday morning talk shows. Mrs. Clinton, a Democrat, argued that the Bush administration had failed to prepare adequately for the task of restoring order in Iraq after the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Appearing on the ABC News program "This Week," Mrs. Clinton suggested that the administration was now altering its plans for a new government in Iraq in search of "some kind of exit strategy, some kind of transition before our elections." She also accused the White...

<p>Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday called it "so sad" that she is being criticized as un-American for questioning Bush administration war policies while visiting troops in Iraq over the Thanksgiving holiday.</p> <p>"I think that's reflective of the efforts by this administration to deny and divert attention from what everybody knows. I mean, it is like the old children's story, 'The Emperor Has No Clothes,' " Mrs. Clinton said.</p>

Hillary: 'Right Wing Apparatus' to Blame for Troop Comment Firestorm New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she was right to tell U.S. troops that Americans back home were starting to doubt President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, calling complaints that her comments undermined military morale "the latest flaming charge by the right wing." "Let me correct the record. It didn't happen," Clinton told CBS's "Face the Nation." "I know that's the latest flaming charge by the right wing, but that's not what happened." The top Democrat claimed instead that she was merely responding truthfully to a...

Having studied the Clintons up-close and personal, I have long since concluded that their politics are not the ideals of Liberals, nor are they the dreams of the naive. Instead, they matured from the radical New Left into the hateful “Hard-Left.” Nothing I have discovered has discouraged me from concluding that Hillary Clinton and her sometimes brilliant, sometimes useful-dupe husband are less than dedicated Marxists. Her mentor was Saul D. Alinsky, long-time Communist Party, U.S.A. member, and author of the Hard-Left’s playbook, “Rules for Radicals – A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals.” If you ever read this book, readily available...
