Hillary to Iowans: I Comforted Troops at Walter Reed

[Jean S]

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told Iowa Democrats Saturday night that she recently visited Washington, D.C.'s Walter Reed Army Hospital to comfort wounded soldiers coming back from Iraq, saying their plight was the result of President Bush's arrogant foreign policy.

Addressing an enthusiastic crowd at Iowa's Jefferson Jackson dinner, the top Democrat complained, "When the rest of the world opened its hearts to us [after 9/11], he turned his back and pursued a very narrow and unfortunate policy that we are still paying a very big price for."

"And of course, it is mostly falling on the shoulders of the young men and women who serve in our military," she added.

For the first time ever, Sen. Clinton revealed: "Last Tuesday night I went out to Walter Reed hospital, which, many of you know, is the Army hospital in Washington, to walk around and say hello to the soldiers who had been evacuated out of Iraq after suffering grievous injuries, to meet their familles, [and] to answer their questions."

She painted a picture of the unnecessary suffering due to what she said were the president's misguided policies:

"As I went from room to room and bed to bed, seeing young men who had lost arms and legs, who had head injuries that, at least as for now, prevented them from knowing their names and remembering where they came from - I knew that I was seeing the best that America has to offer."

A comprehensive review of news reports over the last week, however, failed to turn up any mention of Sen. Clinton's visit to Walter Reed.

The former first lady made similar claims of meetings with 9/11 victim familles to author Stephen Brill earlier this year. But when Brill attempted to confirm the visits with the families themselves, he got a different story.

"None of it turned out to be true," he told radio host Steve Malzberg. "[Sen. Clinton's office] gave me documents and phone calls and things like that which just plain never happened."

Must not be ignored. This lie must be exposed!

When the rest of the world opened its hearts to us....

We don't need the world's sympathy, we need action.

The president repeatedly asked the UN for help....there was none: just stonewalling.

[Aracelis]

Senator Clinton is now perched perilously on the brink of treason.

I will observe this, but whenever I see a "Newsmax" by-line, I will withold my judgement.

Newsmax has as about as much credibility as the National Enquirer.

4. The Clinton's want Americans to be subjected to the International Criminal Court, which has no Bill of Rights, no right to see your accuser, no jury, and no appeal. Our citizens deserve better.
5. The Clinton's want the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming to become law. That treaty will eventually lead to the prohibition of gasoline-powered automobiles. We deserve better than to return to the pre-industrial age.

This woman has about as much chance of meeting an actual soldier as I do of meeting a space alien.

Scrath that. I would actually go and look for a space alien.

I'M SURE THEY WERE GLAD TO SEE "Madam 40 axe-handles" (width) walk in to see them. LOL

[petuniasevan]

Filthy b!tch liar.

I know that you, Hitlery, or one of your minions is lurking here.

Repeat: Filthy b!tch liar.

I'm a veteran; so's hubby. So are many people I know. None of them and no soldier, sailor, airman or marine in hospital would have stood for your vicious screed.

There is NO proof, no corroboration that you actually visited this hospital.

I'm betting you wouldn't DARE show up at Walter Reed and air your nasty backstabbing and anti-morale anti-military tripe.


REMEMBER the booing you got post-9/11.

[Squantos]

Just what is the defination of sedition these days.......Hillary has to be damn close to such a criminal act when she does such in public for promoting her own revenue driven agenda............after all it was a fund raiser wasn't it ?

[swheats]

Good thing she added many had amnesia. There's no way you'll get corroboration of who she really saw.

[WackyKat]

You're all misunderstanding the article; she was comforting Iraqi troops.

[AmericanVictory]

he he

[Jodi]

did the fat, bull dyke carry around the headline front page of the new york post (part of the vast right wing conspiracy) that said "Bush Knew" and demand pre-emptive action against terrorists?

or did she ask these brave men, who use to serve as her butlers, to go get her an ash tray to throw?

[AmericanVictory]

There is a poem in one of the oldest extant anthologies of Greek poems which has the line:

"Beware of a woman with thick ankles."

[Ruth A.]

...the top Democrat complained...

And just how does she get this rating?

[Squantos]

Watching her on a rerun on C-Span right now.......and I thought there was no horror movies on this evening. Scary Ugly Stoopid Socialist......versus just a Stoooopid Scary Socialist. Dean now trying to buy the youth vote........OK that's all I can stomach. Channel changed !

Stay Safe !

"As I went from room to room and bed to bed, seeing young men who had lost arms and legs, who had head injuries that, at least as for now, prevented them from knowing their names and remembering where they came from She visited troops

So she visited soldiers who had no control over who enters their rooms. She likes a captive audience.

Hillswine, you're not even fit to be in the same zip code with these brave soldiers.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Good thing she added many had amnesia. There's no way you'll get corroboration of who she really saw."

I thought it was really strange when she said this. However, I've learned not to trust newsmax.

[wai-ming]

There is NO proof, no corroboration that you actually visited this hospital.

Furthermore, there is no proof that you comforted anyone there if you did. If anything, your very presence added to their pain! How dare you add insult to injury by using suffering soldiers to push your own political agenda.

Stay away from America's troops, Hillary. They don't want you anywhere near them.

[CyberAnt]

"saying their plight was the result of President Bush's arrogant foreign policy"

How dare she say this to our soldiers .. this is just another OUTRAGEOUS act of a democrat.

The fact there don't appear to be any records of a Clinton visit .. I hope there is someone curious enough to follow up and find out the truth.

[Mo1]

For the first time ever, Sen. Clinton revealed: "Last Tuesday night I went out to Walter Reed hospital, which, many of you know, is the Army hospital in Washington, to walk around and say hello to the soldiers who had been evacuated out of Iraq after suffering grievous injuries, to meet their familles, [and] to answer their questions."

Gee .. Hellary why did it take you 7 months to finally get around to visiting Walter Reed ??

Could ya be USING our military for YOUR political means???

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Hillswine, you're not even fit to be in the same zip code with these brave soldiers.

Sorry all. After rethinking how that sounds, I realize that the tone of that statement may offend some people. So I would like to change it.

Hillswine, you're not even fit to occupy the same galaxy as these brave soliders do.

"As I went from room to room and bed to bed, seeing young men who had lost arms and legs, who had head injuries that, at least as for now, prevented them from knowing their names and remembering where they came from - I knew that I was seeing the best that America has to offer."

And the very worst are the college students who run away to England to protest and to rape.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Could ya be USING our military for YOUR political means???"

If you saw it, what struck me was that as she related the story, she kept saying over and over again.....walking around, "as I was walking around, and walking around", you could here the insincerity in that she never related a personal experience with a single person. It was all in generalities. It was as if she just went to Walter Reed and "walked around"! LOL!

[Dane]

"When the rest of the world opened its hearts to us [after 9/11], he turned his back and pursued a very narrow and unfortunate policy that we are still paying a very big price for."

Yeah they opened their hearts(the French) and said please don't mess up our cozy situation with Iraq and other mideast despots. They will never use their chemical or nuclear weapons program against you or that crappy little country, Israel.

Sheesh talk about Hillary giving a big french kiss to the french, shudder just thinking about that literally.

[Sacajaweau]

Hey, she had book tours to attend to. Give her a break! /s

[11B3]

I'm glad to see someone is catching on. I've been calling her an ankle for almost two years on this forum. For those who are new here and might not know the meaning of it, here's why we call her that:

Ankle: Three feet lower than a _unt.

[Mo1]

I didn't see it on TV and I have no doubt that she kept repeating it .. she thinks if she says something enough times, people will believe her

I'm sure she went to Walter Reed and I'm sure she walked around

But I doubt she spent much time with the soldiers

IMO .. her and the other Dem Senators did this for a PR stunt to USE our military.

If the Dems really cared .. they wouldn' have waited 7 months for finally get around to visiting them

[Quix]

Shrillery should probably pay the soldiers compensation for their torn sutures

from their trying to reach up and strangle her!

[Quix]

Agree.

But isn't the journal of lies now thicker than the Manhattan phone book?

[IrishCatholic]

I am in the midwest. Is anyone familiar with Walter Reed? If it is on a military post wouldn't there be a record of who came into the hospital? Wouldn't hospital security have to know about a senator's visit? Wouldn't administrators? Since Senator Clinton is busy setting about wrecking the country isn't there some official schedule she keeps that could be checked? Like: 10:30 A.M. destroy the family, 12:00 lunch, 1:00 P.M. plot downfall of western civilization etc.
If this is true she made the statement it is fresh enough to check without the spin people being able to cover it.
MAN--how many straws does it take to break a felon's back?!

[Quix]

Shrillery Antoinette de Foserizer de Marx de Machiavelli de Stalin has been swimming nude in the Pacific Ocean of Treason she considers her own special fifedom for most of her life now.

The Media have something akin to multidimensional rosey glass lenses which block all the truth out and transpose all the lies into glowing reports to further her evil globalist power mongering plans.

[Quix]

More likely Al-Qaeda or Arafart terrorist troops with hangnails.

[Quix]

Treasoner In Chief = Top HYPORAT.

Perhaps we should compile a treason lexicon. Terms associated with her and Billdo would likely take up 90% of it.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

""Last Tuesday night I went out to Walter Reed hospital, which..."

Once, so she could use our injured troops in her rant tonight. 6
66

[Quix]

Actually, I don't think she's fit to be in the same Galactic Cluster as such brave soldiers.

[Quix]

News Max has construed reality rather close to my own construction many times.

Not sure why you're so hard on it. IT'S CERTIANLY MORE ACCURATE THAN THE LA SLIMES OR THE NY SLIMES.

[Quix]

Given both her ankles,

wouldn't that be

SIX FEET LOWER THAN?

[A Citizen Reporter]

"News Max has construed reality rather close to my own construction many times. "

Sorry, that just hasn't been my experience. AT ALL. And I've given it more than enough chances.

[Quix]

Ah well, I usually wait for multiple sources anyway.

[Jen]

Is anyone familiar with Walter Reed? If it is on a military post wouldn't there be a record of who came into the hospital? Wouldn't hospital security have to know about a senator's visit? Wouldn't administrators?

Definitely. Senators get VIP treatment. A call to the Walter Reed public affairs office on Monday should answer the question. (202) 782-7177

[clee1]

What a worthless b!tch.

[clee1]

...more accurate than the LA or NY Slimes

Thats really not saying much.

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

I've been calling her that since 1992.

Bill the "Slob" during the '92 elections.

[Quix]

I think

Billdo, Dillbo and Dilldo are all,

also accurate for him.

I suspect you've also read my expanded name for her.

[Atchafalaya]

Truth or dare?!

[lorrainer]

"Last Tuesday night I went out to Walter Reed hospital, which, many of you know, is the Army hospital in Washington...

Translation: You people are all idiots, you know, so I have to tell you what Walter Reed is, you know, because you're here in Iowa and you don't know anything. Why, I myself didn't know what Walter Reed was, you know, until they wrote this for me to say, you know.
