"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."
--Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.

quote:


The mistakes in Iraq are not the responsibility of our men and women in uniform but of their Commander-in-Chief. From the decision to rush to war without allowing the weapons inspectors to finish their work or waiting for diplomacy to run its course. To the failure to send enough troops and provide proper equipment for them. To the denial of the existence of a rising insurgency and the failure to adjust the military strategy. To the continued support for a government unwilling to make the necessary political compromises. The command decisions were rooted in politics and ideology, heedless of sound strategy and common sense.

As noted in the above story, Hillary was telling a tall tale.  In typical Clintonian fashion, she is trying to stick to the story.  Yes, we all know politicians lie.  But claiming a war experience is beyond scummy.  It's absolutely low down, and it takes away from people that have actually had to live through harrowing experiences like this.

Nice quote, where ever you got it from.  But, it's completely unrelated to this thread.  Nice hijack attempt though Fargle.

Yes I read it, and I didn't see that quote anywhere in it.  Of course I don't read the reader's comments at the bottom.  Anytime a negative story about Hillary is written, someone on news sites has to chime in about Bush and Iraq.  Some people just can't seem to grasp the concept that others might find Bush and Hillary to both be lying douchebags.
