And this is from the ‘smartest woman in the world”!
I find the Democrats cowardice to be amazing. The are too cowardly to even stand up to the fringe groups in their own party. How could we expect them to have the honor and courage required to fight a war?
She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and thankfully this will become more apparent to all as she speaks to the public unfiltered by softball interviewers and re-takes.
They were on the dark side long,long before that.
Was Hillary's statement at the hearing actually an attempt to intimidate our higher levels of military leadership and thus cripple Iraq War military leadership? Basically sending out a message that, if she is elected, military leaders supporting Petraeus will be punished and those "actively" opposing him (ex. the Centcom commander)will be rewarded.
Think of this for a moment: OK, just for the sake of discussion, say Mrs. Clinton wins The White House in 2008, now what is she going to say in her Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery that won’t be insulting to America’s fighting men and women?
One heckuva commander-in-chief. God help us.
Obviously a political bias at the Times but I wonder if the deal they made also reflects their worsening revenue picture.
Think of this: Put her in the CIC seat right now,the General reports to her “things are going good” and she replies “You’re lying!”
HA Yeah, then she further proceeds to tell him he’s fighting the wrong war....
SEMPER FI and GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
“Willing suspension of disbelief” is what you do when you watch a movie or read a book. It means allowing yourself to pretend to believe in what you know is a fantasy. It’s a pretty standard phrase, not ebonic at all.
What Hillary meant was that she’d have to use that technique in order to believe Petraeus’s ‘fantasy’ or ‘lie.’ Rather ironic, considering the source.
BTW, doesn’t PETRAEUS mean “The Rock”? If so, how apt!
Petraeus should be able to sue them (bowelmovement.org) and the times for libel or slander. He isn’t a public figure per se. He is an employee of the US gov’t.
I really pray that America is smarter than to elect someone totally unelectable. One thing I can’t really believe America is ready for is “the first lady” being a Man, and that man in particular, being philanderer and rapist, Bill Clinton.
Negative. It's a common term among PC gamers and has roots that go WAY back.......she was just trying to dazzle people with her brilliance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief
Wow that was enlightening... So she really did mean to call General Patreaus a LIAR flat out...
In other words General to believe what you are saying would mean that we must forgo what we (Democrats) KNOW is truth, meaning that the War is lost, there is no solution other then complete withdraw for which we want to blame Bush. But as he refuses to budge on this then when I become President I may have to make a real decision and in doing so may be held accountable for that decision by history... i.e., like how my husband will be regarded as a philanderer who’s indescretion’s by receiving a BJ while on duty and then lying about it to America during an investigation allowed him to take his mind off the ball and allowed an Islamic Terror group to plan an attack on America that killed nearly 3000 citizens.... to believe otherwise I must be expected to willingly suspend disbelief.
I get it now
I think we have a predicament.
“willing suspension of disbelief”
I didn’t know nothing about that being a ‘standard’ phrase’- thanks for the head’s up!
