Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy Guess Who Won't be Coming to Dinner . . . Anymore?

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 the troops fighting a heavily propagandized war that the war in Iraq has 'divided' America and that victory is 'not certain'.

The troops were less than enthused to hear the Senator from New York tell them that there remained serious questions about why they were deployed to risk their lives. Many of them were visibly offended by the comments, which they interpreted as being insubordinate. Public officials in a war zone have a duty to support the troops and national policy. Can you imagine a US Senator visiting US troops in France during WWII telling them that we might not beat Germany, or that there were serious questions about why we were fighting Hitler?

Hillary didn’t stop offending the troops she was visiting by being insubordinate to their Commander-in-Chief. When President Bush arrived, he followed military protocol, which says enlisted men eat first, followed by officers and public officials. But instead of eating their dinner, Bush SERVED the troops their dinner as a symbol of his respect for their sacrifice. The President did not use his trip to bad-mouth political opponents or to demoralize the troops.

After giving the troops HER Thanksgiving message about the uncertainty of victory and lack of public support for their efforts, she and her entourage went straight to the front of the chow line, gobbling up the troopers’ Thanksgiving dinner before the troopers present even had a chance to sit down and say grace.

Hillary toured Iraq during the daylight hours and spent each night in the relative safety of Kuwait. President Bush ARRIVED at night (the most dangerous time) and gave thanks for the troops from the middle of the most dangerous place in Baghdad – the tarmac of Baghdad International Airport. He shared Thanksgiving with the troops, not in a hardened bunker, but in a flimsy mess tent.

The liberal press had a field day. Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post, castigated President Bush for ‘lying’ to the press about where he would be on Thanksgiving Day. The ‘lie’ was necessary for security to keep Air Force One from being blown out of the sky on approach to Baghdad. (Maybe that’s why Kurtz was so miffed).

Al-Jazeera was clearly much more impressed with the Clinton visit than it was with Bush. It reported gleefully to the Arab world that “Clinton arrived from Iraq with fellow Democrat Senator Jack Reed, who said the United States had overextended itself in Iraq. He said a failure to get the Shias' backing for the handover plan could cause huge political problems in the future.”

According to Section 2381 of U.S. Code Title 18, “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

Hillary actually told our troops, “the outcome (of the war) is not assured”, remember.

Demoralizing American troops and encouraging enemies to continue the battle is not what U.S. Senators ought to be doing. But that is EXACTLY what the junior senator from New York did. Telling our armed forces in a combat zone, "... there are many questions at home about the administration's policies" is more than irresponsible.

Hillary also told our troops in harm’s way that, "We are fighting an enemy which has a lot of impact by relatively small numbers and we've got to provide security throughout large countries. That's not easy with the force numbers that we have.”

Telling the bad guys they are being effective because they have “a lot of impact by relatively small numbers” is criminal. What was she thinking? (Besides, I hate Bush . . . I hate Bush . . .)

Doesn't she think the bad guys can read? Does she even care? Can anyone truly be so partisan they'd put party before country? Yup.

Dana Milbank, who dabbles in Bush hatred for The Washington Post, sneered that "while the troops cheered the moment, it is too soon to know whether the image of Bush in his Army jacket ... will become a symbol of strong leadership or a symbol of unwarranted bravado."

Millbank quoted Sidney Blumenthal, former lady-in-waiting to Hillary Clinton, who suggested that even the "image" of the president landing at night, without running lights and the cabin windows shuttered, was a mark of something approaching cowardice! And these guys want to run a country?

The efforts by the liberal press to run interference for Senator Clinton were fascinating. The Washington Post ran a story entitled, “Hillary Clinton Visits Iraq, Thanks Troops” and reported a couple of selected quotes that made her sound like Mother Theresa.

For example: "I have heard some wonderful stories about the kind of work that captains and majors are doing out there helping people," Clinton said. "I think that this is a story that needs to get out."

Hillary would like ANY story to ‘get out’ -- except the real one. The truth is far too unflattering.

[StarCMC]

Hillary is such a pig.

[StarCMC]

Ice Queen vs. Bush ping

[Cicero]

Unfortunately, she is a pig among pigs. Her pimps and enablers in the media are pigs too, so needless to say they will not point out this animal quality to their readers and viewers.

[hapy]

It doesnt matter what she does, cause the clintons will always be white trash. They can run, they can steal they can even create diversions. It still doesnt matter as they are nothing but white trash.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I think that this is a story that needs to get out

Me, me, me. More me now Hilary. Hilary Antoinette. Hilary the greedy pig.

[Tired_of_the_Lies]

So totally unsurprising - both Clinton's comments and the media's reaction to Clinton's visit versus Bush's visit.

Perhaps the libs want the President to fly in with full announcement and fanfare so he can become a target for the fanatics fighting gainst the US in Iraq.

But, do they (the libs) really wish for Cheney as President. I like Cheny, but I don't think the libs do.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Since it appears that her treasonous act will go unpunished it is time for a different tact. A military relative needs to press civil charges against her for demeaning the risk and sacrifice that our troops are making. Come on mom, dad, wife, or husband sue the BWitch.

[jra]

President Bush ARRIVED at night (the most dangerous time)

This is false. Air Force One is the most recognizable aircraft in the world. Landing in Baghdad during the day is not even an option.

[bandleader]

I think that's a LITTLE TOO GENEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[bandleader]

Where Do I Sign????????

[HiJinx]

I guess the key is for the guys and gals in theatre to realize that she's a pig and ignore her gruntings.

Have you heard from kj re: this topic? Is it possible for her audience to realize that she's a blowhard anti-American (ooh, I wish I could use the word I want to use!) female?

Thanks for the ping, Star, and keep the faith. We will prevail.

[1Old Pro]

Hillary does Iraq, then gets left wing save the ocean awards in LA. Can anyone tell me what she has accomplished in her years as a senator?

And even better, has she done a dman thing for New York, remember, the state she supposedly represents??

[Conspiracy Guy]

If I had a son, daughter, or wife in Afghanistan or Iraq, I'd be looking for a hungry lawyer.

[expatpat]

What Ocean did she save?

[1Old Pro]

I guess she got some award in LA yesterday, it's on a post today. I guess she saved the Pacific, who knows.

[cubreporter]

Even PIG is too good and clean a word for this evil excuse for a human being. The only consolation is President Bush will win reelection. Our troops will do just fine without any words from this evil excuse for a human being. Remember everyone...it was the clintins that said they LOATHED THE MILITARY...she STILL LOATHES the military and only used them for her photo op! This woman has no character, morals, integrity and certainly no shame nor conscience. God bless America, our troops and President Bush. Dubya has plenty of character, morals, integrity and a conscience to do the right things for our country and our military no mater what drivle comes out of the mouths of the likes of hilleree. I pray for our President every single night. He is a good man and will win and win big!!!

[phugg]

My mother in law came to our house for Thanksgiving. Being the Illinois democrate that she is, she made a little remark when we heard that President Bush was in Iraq. Later she said that she thought that Hitlery would make a good president. I about sh_t my pants. Even my wife who is a democrat dislikes Hitlery and couldn't believe what she said.

Her shaming made Sunday however when the pastor praised GWB for going to Iraq and scolding anyone who felt otherwise. I leaned forward and looked at her with my big stupid smile. She could not even look me in the eye.

I don't understand how two smart, strong, christian women can support a party that is so violently opposed to their core value.

[BlessedByLiberty]

She doesn't bathe, or wash her pantsuit, therefore she saves oceans. :)

TO the earlier poster who dubbed her HILLARY ANTOINETT: that is truly priceless and one we should run with - perfect title for the queen of the elitist swine.

Okay, I will now have my coffee, thank you.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Hilary Antoinette. I think it fits her because she has such contempt for "little people". She is such an elitist communist. Who else would put themselves in line to eat before the troops that are serving every man, woman, and child in America and the world?

"Let me eat turkey" Hilary. What a pig she is.
