#1 At least she has no medals or ribbons to heave.

#3 ya know...the more I think about this the hotter I'm getting. This b*tch, whose husband played with interns and lied through grand jury interviews when he should've been doing his job protecting the U.S., should STFU. She's been trying to appear moderate, supporting the troops, but this shows what a tin ear she has and how she really feels. Our military, to Shrillary, are nothing more than toys to use for social experiments, unless if they (the clintons) have the opportunity to turn it on Americans...what an asshole.

Arrrrrrggghhh!

#4 The former first vase-tosser doesn't have the guts to say a lot this for domestic consumption.

#5 So here we have this obscenely ambitious, shameless, lying bitch spouting blatant falsehoods clearly aimed at undermining U.S. foreign policy, to an enemy propaganda outlet in a time of war.

This is treason, and she should face a firing squad for it.

Thank you, Hillary, for reminding me why I left the Democratic Party.

#6 I hope someone it taking all this down so we can replay the lying bitch's treason when she tries to get the cigar chair in '08.

#7 so I guess the most interesting part of this whole thing is: What was in this for her?

Kerry has shifted to being a war-hawk in the last couple of days as he obviously found it was poltically wise to do so.

So why would Hillary do this? It's not popular and not necessary. Worse, it will be on the record to be dredged up and thrown in her face by political opponents in any future election she enters. Hillary is smart enough to realize that overall, this will haunt her, not help her.

I've seen a desperation lately from some, well I hesitate to say unusual, so let me just say sources whom we've suspect attempt to assist the other side, but have previously never been so blatant. They have at least pretended to be neutral sources. Eg. - those 52 "diplomats" that acted in a non-diplomatic manner to embarrass Blair and now this. Also the WAPO and other media outlets have also become more blatant as well.

My guess is that the puppet-masters are saying, "dance". And for reasons unclear - these people are compelled to do so even at the risk of their own political futures. Money? Calling in favors?? Blackmail?

It reminds me of before the war - how NPR and BBC, ABCNBSTIMENBC all stooped to new lows in an all out effort to prevent the war = and failed. This will fail to, but whoever is orchestarting it doesn't care...they are giving it all they've got.

#8 Much as I dislike the Clintons,on this I would pause and remember the source.The article states the translation says-an English translation is needed for HIllary?Since when does she speak Arabic?What we have are her English words translated into Arabic,then back to English,all filtered by an Anti-American paper.She probably said something along lines of we should have had more troops,we're not going to run from Iraq,Bush's diplomacy could have been a little better,blah,blah,blah-standard moderate Demo line that was wildly overblown by paper.

#9 This is a NewsMax translation of an Arab daily. Given today's press standards, it's hard to tell if this is an actual interview or just wishful thinking somewhere along the way. If, perchance it's the real thing, it's not the smartest thing in the world for a New York politician to be giving interviews to the Arab press.

Could the "smartest woman in the world" be auditioning to be a Kerry replacement at the convention?

#10 this is just disgracefull - worse than hanoi jane..at least hanoi jane was not a sitting senator...what is she trying to do score points with the electorate...still suprises me how politicians still carry themselves like it is pre-internet and mass communications, like they are in a bubble when traveling overseas...

#11 Well, when it comes to "arrogant and insolent", the Hildebeest knows whereof she speaks.

#12 It doesn't matter, Stephen. She's smart enough to understand that was a possibility and if she wasn't, she should have been. It matters only what the Arab papers wrote, as that's what can be used in the campaign adds against her. One can quote AlNews agency without suffering a defamation suit.

This is a public relations disater and she was plenty smart enough to have understood that when she went there. The only question in my mind is WHY she was willing to subject herself to this. There is NOTHING in this for her that we are aware of. NOTHING!

#13 Hillary is a lot more hawkish than can be squared with that excerpt. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that either this is a radical case of "telephone game", or else the source is Blairizing. IIRC, Asharq al-Awsat has a rather dodgy reputation.

#14 RWW, I hope your right and she somehow replaces Kerry at the convention. Bush would slaughter her in the election and then we won't hear about her again. Modern politicians rarely rebound from a failed presidential run to run again.

#15 I'm going to apply the 48-hour rule to this one.

#16 This confirms to me further that the left anti-war wing of the Dims is for real in their mainstream of thought. While they say they support our troops in reality the Dim party has descended into their own quagmire of war conspiracies fueled by a hatred of our Presdient and what he stands for. Perhaps, courting the "Nader" vote now they know they can't win mirroring the Presdient's plan so they now have turned loose the far left anti-war moonbats. Of course, the well being of our nation is secondary in this line of thought where party and power is foremost and the defense of our nation is secondary to that goal.
