"Senator Clinton had a long planned day of events with her constituents in New York and wasn't able to attend the short-notice briefing attended by the chairman and two members of the minority," Hillary spokesman Philippe Reines told the Washington Times.

And was it really a short-notice briefing, or did NewsMax just take her flying monkey's word for it? When was that meeting scheduled?

I spoke to a Staff Sargeant at WRAMC a few weeks ago.
He told me he wasn't wounded, he had hurt his back when he turned suddenly, wearing 70 ponds of body armor.
He and his unit were doing what amounted to crowd control during a pilgrimage.
They were looking for infiltartors and he had spotted two suspicious looking individuals and trailed them into a confined area.
He told me he had taken point, and directed two of his men around the building.
The SSGt was looking in a window, when he heard a noise to his left.
He turned abruptly to view the threat, and when he did, the weight of the armor and his gear, acted like a flywheel on an old tractor, and twisted his upper body further than his spine was designed to move.
He told me it didn't bother him at first, but after two more days of walking patrols, he had to be medicated, and then after a week, he was medivacced out.
Strapped to a strechter..
he told me the armor was good, it makes everyine feel safe, but it's too heavy.
Most of the guys don't wear it.
Just thought I'd provide that little piece of insight.

If that socialist pig ever becomes president, we will not only not have body armor--we won't have a military to wear it!!

The real world has a way of intruding into the bloviating of the demonrats.

Her day of events including appearing with Harry Belafonte and trying to avoid having her picture taken with her fellow slimer.

"You know, the president speaks out strongly, and even harshly from time to time, about issues that he thinks are important. Let's hear him speak out about protecting the men and women who wear the uniform of our country. "

Lady,when you "walk the walk", there isn't any need to to talk. Actions speak louder than words. Like the shameful way your "soulmate" Bubba lovegun treated the military for eight long years!!

[JustAnotherOkie]

Well, she wouldn't be much of a bed winch.

And for that she blew off the hearing. The red bits are gonna love that.

[taillightchaser]

Newbie as it applies to me means computer ignorant.
I'm amazed constantly how the freepers post some of the stuff they do.
If I had a time machine, there would be a better choice than Joan of Arc for a date--my opinion.

[concretebob]

OK first rule..Know the difference between the inane and the sublime.
that was a joke..
But just out of curiosity, who would you travel back in time to take to dinner?

[DainBramage]

BTTT means bump to the top. It keeps the thread showing up on the top.

[Just mythoughts]

Not enough lobbying pay offs to reap, she already collected her dues by participating in the leaking of the 'report'.
