NEW MOVIE! for the birds
(THE INCOMPETENCE OF HILLARY CLINTON)

by Mia T, 11.13.05

(viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE)

Clinton Administration Veteran:
"Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life."

My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life. Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it. She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly.... there is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president.

You need to use the picture of the soldier shaking her hand while presenting the camera with his other hand and his crossed fingers. They hate her and she hates them. Why allow her the pretense of caring for them? She should be highlighted and discredited for all she really is, but she won't be with a kissy-face-go-along-to-get-along Senate. The beast on the Armed Forces committee...puh-lease!

I have never been in desert combat, but I was in jungle combat making several river and many canal crossing per patrol.

We had the old flak vests, steel pots, canned food, lots of ammo, grenades,claymores,etc etc all this plus for some a PRC-25 radio ,M60 Machine gun or medical supplies.

Add extra body armor or other goodies her heinousness suggests will not end death in war..

My guys in RVN faced IEDs in our time we simply called them booby traps or command detonated booby traps..

They could be as simple as fragmentation grenades in empty cans whose pins were attached to fishing line trip wires or 155 arty round strung up in trees and detonated by 12 yr old kids hiding in the brush.

From what I understand our guys are facing explosives sometimes 100X more powerful.

Extra body armor is nice but there will be a price to pay.

Less mobility,flexibility,heat exhaustion & heat stroke

Men too tired to pay the kind of attention needed to close, kill and survive or simply avoid enemy ambushes.

There are no easy answers on how to keep our guys from getting hurt in wartime.

Only jerk off selfish egocentric arrogant politicians who will do anything, say anything to amass power or to stay in power...they could give a rats ass about young men and women getting killed or wounded

I say this based upon all the great speeches I have heard from both parties regarding their 'high regard' for our nations veterans

Meanwhile while the speeches were being made they were cutting funds to the VA medical centers where these same highly regarded wounded veterans were in desperate need for the care these politicians were promising but would never deliver

The Clintons..among others....were foremost in the neglect of our nations veterans

I saw the negative changes Bill Clinton made in the VAMCs...

Other than a few unfortunate Arkansas women..I'd have to say that imo Bill Clinton screwed Veterans more than any other president in my lifetime and I'm pushin' 60.

Thank you for your service, joesnuffy. :)

An excellent analysis bump!

I hope the Bush people refute her demagoguery... and fast. And not politely. For the safety of this country, they must expose her as the self-serving moron that she is.

"Pentagon study found that as many as 80 percent of a random sample of Marines killed in Iraq from wounds to the upper body could have survived if they had had extra body armor."

This is like saying that a random sample of people dying from falling out of trees would have survived if trees had guard rails. This doesn't prove that all trees need guard rails. Only fools would cite this as a definitive study

Attacking from the other side, wasn't the left complaining only recently about how modern technology had 'unfairly' lowered the death rate for 'Bush's War'??!
