Hillary to Troops: Support for You is Fading
(Surprising she didn't mount an anti-aircraft gun!)
In a demoralizing message to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq, visiting
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton told them that Americans back home were
growing increasingly skeptical of President Bush's decision to send
them into
battle.
Describing two meetings with GIs over turkey dinners in Baghdad,
Clinton, D-N.Y., 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 suggested that the U.S. could eventually lose the war in Iraq. "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,
(Dream on HITLERY!) 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." (Dream on HITLERY!)
Speaking from a secure location just over the Kuwaiti border, Clinton
launched one verbal salvo after another at the White House. She argued
that Bush officials had been "obsessed" with getting Saddam Hussein
and said 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 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. "Everybody has to be
honest."
