Bush Thrills Troops, Hillary Doesn't

While 600 G.I.s leapt to their feet at the sight of President Bush appearing onstage in Baghdad to praise their service and share their Thanksgiving, soldiers at Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan seemed considerably less enthusiastic to have New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in their midst.

"The G.I.s here at the Bagram base were reasonably excited, I think it's fair to say, to see the former first lady," reported Fox News Channel's Geraldo Rivera.

But in the next breath Rivera added, "They were even more impressed with their turkey dinner."

An African-American female G.I. seconded the Fox reporter's assessment, agreeing that the food was more of a morale booster than Mrs. Clinton. Another female soldier at the table concurred.

Meanwhile, back in Baghdad soldiers couldn't say enough about their encounter with their Commander-in-Chief.

"I was totally shocked," one female G.I. told Fox News. "It was a wonderful moment. I think everyone there was so overjoyed just to see the president."

A male soldier told Fox that Bush's visit "really meant a lot to me personally, as I know it did to a lot of the other soldiers, that the Commander-in-Chief was here in person to talk to us on this day when he should be with his family . . . And here in Iraq, the first time ever that a U.S. president's been here."

The New York Democrat has lately taken to accusing President Bush of not appreciating soldiers' sacrifices, and even covering-up battlefield casualties.

Three weeks ago Sen. Clinton secretly visited wounded soliders at Walter Reed Army Hospital, then told Democrats gathered in Iowa that the troops she met were paying the price for Bush's "failed policy" in Iraq.

Clinton also has a spot airing on MSNBC this weekend where she delivers a Thanksgiving message of appreciation to the troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

*BUMP*!

[onyx]

She is unfit and unworthy to merit mention in the same article with POTUS!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

What is she up to?

A photo op and trying to get some connection to the military on her resume. It will play well with the morons who will vote for her no matter what.

[Outraged]

I make this prayer public Lord, Thanks for putting Bush in the Presidency. Guide his heart and mind and protect him from the slings and arrows of the enemy without and the enemy within. Reveal the evil that lurks in the hearts of those who attack what is righteous and good about our blessed country.

God Bless US, one and all...Amen.

What is she up to?

[PhiKapMom]

[nutmeg]

Picking up a little military issue 'silverware' for her collection.

Thanks for that link Kattracks

She must really think she can pull of the coming to the DNC rescue when the convention rolls around huh??

[xzins]

Precisely.

1st I heard of it.

What is she up to?

[Political Junkie Too]

Are these the same Clintons that spent more Independence Days out of the country than they spent at home?

[kattracks]

Here's another theory.

[Mr. Mojo]

lol.....that DUmmy thread is sure a doozy. Check out the very first post:

"This is the worst I've felt in my entire life on this sh/thole of a planet in this sh/thole of a country. I can't image what I'll feel like in early November 2004. I can't imagine feeling worse than I do right now but I've got to prepare myself for something I dread and fear to the very depth of my soul: The final and irrevokable loss of our democracy to fascism.

That this was perhaps that communist's worst day in his/her existence fills me with joy, and tops off my Thanksgiving beautifully.

[nicmarlo]

I just saw Geraldo, coincidentally, with the clip of the soldiers who had to sit by the stuffed turkey. : )

[Smokin' Joe]

Quick! Check and see if any of the towels or bedrolls are gone!

[Kahuna]

The DU tread is downright scary and should be turned over to the secret service. They want the President knocked off.

Three weeks ago Sen. Clinton secretly visited wounded soliders at Walter Reed Army Hospital

Why secretly ya Big Itch ? Why could'nt ya face the wounded and injured in the open manner anyone with nothing but good will in their heart would really have for these men and women .

Damn all Clintonistas to hell !

Stay Safe Mojo !

[Dolphy]

Three weeks ago Sen. Clinton secretly visited wounded soliders at Walter Reed Army Hospital

What was secret about that? During the 30+ hour talkathon on the judicial nominees almost every Dem that stood up talked about their visit to Walter Reed, including Clinton.

Many others from Congress have made this trip. Of course I can't help but be cynical of Clinton's choice to go on Thanksgiving. What great PR (so she thought) that she would actually sacrifice a family (like she has one) holiday to spend with the troops. By her description she was going because she knew something about winning the hearts and minds of people. I think the Senator was schooled today by the President.

[Lancey Howard]

Evening, Kat

HA!
Bump this!

[Brad’s Gramma]

with the clip of the soldiers who had to sit by the stuffed turkey.

OH MY GOSH! You're good....really really good.

[John Lenin]

I am so glad W did this , to sit through a weekend of the Beast upstaging our President by being with the troops would have been hard to handle. W killed about about 4 birds with one stone by making this trip, it was brilliant !

Pruden says:

1. Sabotage other Democrats
2. Run herself in 2008

My guesses for the leading Repub Candidates in 2008.

1. It won't be Jeb Bush. Too soon....would look dynastic. He'll have to wait to 2012.

2. ex-Governor: some like Rasciot
3. ex-Senator: a Santorum or Frist.

Hillary vs Santorum would be a WILD campaign!

[nicmarlo]

oh, hush, puppy! : )

[Brad’s Gramma]

Say there, are you stalking me tonight?

No, please, don't take the time to Google a picture of celery, OK? :-)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

She's trying to rub up to the military in an attempt to position herself as someone who could be accepted as Commander in Chief.

If that ever happens, we are screwed.

My fear is that the "Bush didn't do what I wanted with my pet issue so he has lost my vote" crowd may give us that one day. In fact, it's my worst nightmare.

If that ever happens, pass me the cyanide.

[ambrose]

Even in the darkest days of the Clinton Regime, I was never that hysterical.

[JoJo Gunn]

You can bet that site is always being watched.

[thesummerwind]

LOL. The members at Augusta National would not allow her entry to the famous club, they had too much respect for their antique ashtrays and lamps.

[jerry639]

Hitlery must be furious over being "upstaged" by our President. It's insulting to American women for the Democrats to portray her as "America's Smartest Woman". I know some pretty smart woman and they wouldn't let themselves be snookered by some cowboy from Texas, like she was. lol God Bless President George W. Bush.

[garyhope]

Who paid for PIAPS trip to Afghanistan. Who authorized it. Who forced the soldiers to sit with her?

I'll bet she's really PO'd that President Bush stole her thunder by going to Iraq without her or her permission.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

They have logo type banners that say Stop Bush, with a bloody bullet hole for an o and a $ sign for the s. Isn't that incitement?

[nicmarlo]

are you stalking me tonight?

ROFLOL!!!

[kattracks]

...to sit through a weekend of the Beast...

A weekend? Wishful thinking. It would have been in the headlines for the next week, at least. And mentioned in every other article about hillary! for the next year.

[Brad’s Gramma]

HA! HA! HA!

Check your mailbox thingymajig.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Turn them in. Seriously.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

Heillary is screwing every Dim candidate daily... and there is not a damn thing they can do about it. And the Clinton media spins it into something beneficial to the party. Never has a first term senator had so much pol power.

[woodyinscc]

I just got home after a long day. After reading your link about this witch, I feel like throwing up! She has real chutzpah!

[nicmarlo]

checked and FReepmailed. Night, BG!
p.s. don' take offense with the cleaver. : )

[ILBBACH]

The next Commander-in-Chief:

[woodyinscc]

Did she actually try to join? Her or the liar?

[At _War_With_Liberals]

Hillary is a sociopath.

As with the soldiers, Hillary has contact with people only as long as it takes to gain her desired end... then she either leaves them or whacks them, depending on her needs.

This has been a pattern for her entire life. It is scary, to say the least.

[Rider on the Rain]

Anyone who isn't brain dead, or totally brainwashed, can tell by looking at the photographs of the two. W's expression says: "I'm honored to be with you brave men and women." Butch's expression says: "Aren't you people honored to have me here?"
