As former military who's been visited by high level political figures, here's how I would have taken her comments:

"We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."
--Suggesting that they'll lose in Iraq and die.

"Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the (Bush) administration's policies."
--Suggesting that the American people's support is fading.

The Pentagon tried to make do with as few troops as possible, as light a footprint as they could get away with," Clinton said. "Now, we're playing catchup . . . Unfortunately, I don't think they fully appreciated the conditions we would encounter."
--Suggesting their bosses are failures who don't care about their lives.

I am so glad this creature isn't co-President anymore.

Mega ping lists needed for post 166 in reference to this treasonous effort on H.C.'s part.

The bad news is that, while all of us rightfully despise this evil bitch and everything she stands for, there are a substantial number of people in this country that believe she would be an excellent president.

Whenever she actually announces her intent to run for the Presidency, the next civil war in this country has started.

May God have mercy on us when and if that day comes.

Isn't this treasonist?

Didn't you know? There is no such thing as treason or sedition anymore. Freedom of speech, you know.

Unless of course the sides were switched and it was Republicans saying these things about a Democratic President.

My Letter to the Editor (to 5 newspapers)

Here in Hot Springs, there were TWO STRAIGHT DAYS of front page headlines repeating a LIE concerning troops being brutalized after being killed in a report designed to demoralize the American troops and American citizens through references to Somalia.

There were TWO STRAIGHT DAYS with some inane headline about some pro-Saddam Iraqis complaining that President Bush did not walk around Baghdad (so they could attempt to assassinate him?).

There was only ONE DAY recalling President Bush's historic visit to Iraq to show the troops his, and the nation's, gratitude for their service.

BUT...there were ZERO DAYS reporting on Hillary Clinton's vain attempts to demoralize the American troops in a war zone in Afghanistan.

Clinton said she told the troops, "Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the administration's policies."

She also suggested that the U.S. could eventually loose the war in Iraq, contending, "We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."

"It's a positive for the commander-in-chief to visit troops in the field," Clinton told reporters, adding, "the troops seemed to appreciate seeing myself."

"seeing myself" ? The "smartest Woman in the World" cannot even speak English correctly while she praises herself and insults Americans!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Ronald Reagan

"the thought that she could demoralize some 19 year oid kid,putting his life on the line everyday, makes me boiling mad."

She will make plenty more mistakes over the next few months. Her hatred for America, and all it stands for will push her to shoot off her mouth. She will be unable to help herself.

Her aides will check into FreeRepublic and won't be able to muster the courage to brief the skank on what has been said here.

Here's another, New York Post: HILLARY PLAYS SECOND BANANA

The obstacles and problems over here are much greater than the administration usually admits to," said Clinton, adding that she learned much from seeing things firsthand. "Everybody has to be honest."

OK, the troops were thrilled to have her there, we could hear them cheering all the way back here. We noticed how thrilled they were by all the smiling faces around her. What a skank, the troops were just being polite in her presence and she thinks she was as liked as Bush? She was actually hurt by Bush's visit and is totally pissed that she was upstaged. A shinning moment turned into a candle flicker.

Whats with her companion, did they remove his tongue? They should have taken Chuck Schumer instead, can you imagine what it would be like having the two of them hogging the cameras? No one would have gotten a word in with the two of them there.

Clinton said, yet "the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself"

"The media will start beating her drum the week after election day 2004. She will increasingly do things to appear moderate, tough, and defense friendly."

I have to agree with riri. Having said that, the media has changed drastically since 1992 and even 1996...primarily due to FNC. Hillary will need to enter enemy territory, one that didn't exist on a national scale during "her" first two terms as co-president.

Additionally, I believe at least 5% of the American public have wised up and crossed the line against The Clintons since; Monica, Impeachment, The Pardons, 9-11, GWB Presidency. The Clintons never got more than 49% of the vote, and I think their support has waned at least a few %'s from there.
