In a demoralizing message to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq, visiting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told them that Americans back home are growing increasingly skeptical of President Bush's decision to send them into battle.

Describing two meetings with G.I.s over turkey dinners in Baghdad, Sen. Clinton told reporters later that soldiers wanted to know "how the people at home feel about what we are doing."

Clinton said she told the troops, "Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the (Bush) 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."

Despite her sour pronouncements, the former first lady insisted that the soldiers were just as glad to see her as they were President Bush, whose surprise visit less than 24-hours earlier was greeted with standing ovations.

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

Speaking from a secure location just over the Kuwaiti border, Mrs. Clinton launched one verbal salvo after another at the White House, arguing that Bush officials had been "obsessed" with getting Saddam Hussein and saying the perception blinded them to the difficulties of deposing his regime.

"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."

The top Democrat also reprised her charge that the White House is being less than candid when it comes to apprising the American people of the costs of the war.

"The obstacles and problems here are much greater than the administration usually admits to," she said, adding, "Everybody has to be honest."

"She is such a POS. I'd best stop now or I'll get kicked off the site."

I REALLY pray God was listening...and administers the punishment she so richly deserves for such a horrid, self-serving, evil comment. She truly is Satan in a pantsuit.

Ping!

But don't read this if you don't wanna be angry for the rest of the day.

[NewLand]

"Maybe her broom will go down over the Atlantic."

"QUICK, I GOT TO GET THERE FIRST BEFORE GEORGE"

[thesummerwind]

She would be the biggest fundraiser the Republican Party ever had

Now that is a FACT.

[Lockbar]

I wonder how many times she said "You know, you know, you know" while she was there. What a complete moron and idiot she is.

I stand in total pleasure at the idea of Hillary Clinton running for President. Let me tell you why: by the numbers:

1)She is without a doubt, the most despised women in America...not just men...women hate her too!! 2)She has political baggage unprcidented in the annals of American history. 3)She is a known con women who shredded documents when she was under fire. Also this holds true for her quintessential bulldyke friends whom SHE got hired...Janet the "torch Reno, and Donna "BULLDYKE" Shalala. 4)She and her husband(ersatz husband) are well known for being inveterate liars. 5) Bill Clinton, in spite of his histrionics, bit lip(only whemn he is cought in a bare-faced lie) is a well known, well unrepected male slut in the eyes of most females. Hey, he married the wretch now his bed is made. 6) Hillary has a history of being a Marxist-Leninist Pinky....all the way back to high school.We conservatives will leave no stone unturned to uncover, and highlight her political transgressions.

Bottom line...she is TOAST!! Please comment. Love Y'all IA"


I thought this was appros pos we all know what #7 is now...enemy of the troops
Best, IA

The womyn is delusional, absolutely delusional.

[marvlus]

Why did you not post the author of this article? Please fix this, so I can find this article credible. I want to believe it, but if the author is unknown, I am going to be skeptical about the authenticity.

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

%$#@^*&%$%^#@!! One day the Clintons are going to have to explain their worth to someone who cant be bribed, bought out, smeared, assaulted, intimidated by having a favorite pet killed, or whacked. I just hope Im around see it; A horrified Hillary screaming "Do you know who I am as Saint Peter closes the gates in her face..

[admiralsn]

We had Hanoi Jane, now we have Hag-dad Hillary. I wish I could see interviews with these troops after herr demoralizing visit.

[Admin Moderator]

I know it's going to be tough, but, please watch the calls for violence against this creature.

[leadpenny]

How can anyone just walk into a warzone and make these kind of comments about the troops Commander and Chief?

I was wondering the same thing.

[thesummerwind]

I don't think there has ever been a more hated woman in this country's history.

[steplock]

"the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself"

The "smartest woman in the world" cannot even speak English corrrectly?

Damned communist bitch! Demoralizing the troops while they're in a combat zone.

[Long Cut]

"Despite her sour pronouncements, the former first lady insisted that the soldiers were just as glad to see her as they were President Bush, whose surprise visit less than 24-hours earlier was greeted with standing ovations"

She(it)'s delusional. No one overseas wants to see her.

[Peach]

That Satan in a pantsuit just went to visit our brave, beloved troops to tell them that support for the war they are fighting is dwingling.

That's at least treason's second cousin (as Zell Miller would say). She's supposed to be over there boosting morale, not deflating it.

[dts32041]

Actually that is the bumper sticker you are suppose to put on the front bumper.

[The Other Harry]

No only do I hate her, I hate her parents for having her.

She is one of the most lothsome individuals who walks the earth.

I actually hopes she does run for president. I want to see her lose. God help us if she gets elected.

Disgusting. Despicable. Revolting. Putrid.

[LisaMalia]

Nothing this "woman" says or does surprises me anymore. I think I'm becoming desensitized to her.
