Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, July 20, 2007

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hit back Friday at a Pentagon undersecretary who charged that her questions about Iraq withdrawal planning have the effect of helping the enemy, telling Defense Secretary Robert Gates that his subordinate's comments were "outrageous and dangerous."

When you consider the planning that went into the invasion and the occupation probably Hillary should first have asked if any planning had even been begun. Most likely Edelman realized that, once again, the Pentagon under neocon control has forgotten to do the necessary planning and thus figured attacking Hillary for asking the question was his best tactic to distract America from the incompetence of the neocon thugs.

Just once I'd like to see Hillary armed with a frying pan chasing neocons around the table.

18 months left of Dumbya, as of today. Can our freedom survive through the mess, or will we find ourselves in a police state locked in a war with the Middle East.

Doesn't this peon know that HRC brooks no criticism of any kind? That she is above anyone second-guessing her?

He will in time. The libs like to pretend we have an "imperial" presidency NOW--just wait a couple of years.

So you're already conceding '08?

That's it RisR, the only way to defend this presidency is to comment on the possible future president and the possible actions of that president.
I think we should stick to the emperor we have now and worry about future emperors when and if they appear.
BTW, this one is naked, have you noticed???

Has he noticed? Has he ever! That ain't no pack of gum in his pocket you know.

The Republicans aren't running anybody. Hard to have a good game if only one team shows up.

So you're not gonna vote for "America's Mayor" RIR?

Haven't decided yet. So far no matter whom I vote for it will be with my fingers crossed. It would be great if we could get a good governor to toss his hat in. But if it's Rudy vs Hillary, I'll probably just stay home, for the first election in my life.

The Repubs are not running anybody because they won't have to once King George declares martial law and suspends the election. All in the name of fighting terror and protecting the American people.
Romney is just the shill.

Okay, let's see if I have this right:

The Bush Administration has the Judicial Branch of the US government in it's pocket, the Excutive Branch and the US Military denying US Congressional oversight... And We the People are to believe that this ISN'T a coup?

Could someone help clear this up for me?

I think Hillary is pretty much devoid of any redeeming values.

But in this one case, I have to side with her. The dipshits who blundered our way into this war didn't plan anything. And they don't show any remorse for being so wasteful with the lives of others. So someone needs to remind these imbeciles that they need to plan their next move.

You don't get to be so cavalier with the lives of our soldiers and then play the
"helping the enemy" card.

RIR...you and me both, sir. I don' know about you, but I'll just go to the store and buy a decent 5th of whiskey, park in the lazy boy recliner to watch the results on the idiot box, and simply vote "E"...None of the Above.

Mrs. Clinton, while we are talking about withdrawal plans, please explain why you didn't read the NIE?


"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hit back Friday at a Pentagon aide who charged that her questions about Iraq withdrawal planning have the effect of helping the enemy _ calling the accusation a spurious dodge of a serious issue."


Spurious dodge of a serious issue.


So, would you, Mrs. Clinton, like to address your ignorance to the NIE or should we consider your expected response as a spurious dodge of a serious issue?

The Bush Administration has 1) the Judicial Branch of the US government in it's pocket, the 2) Excutive Branch and the 3) US Military denying US Congressional oversight... And We the People are to believe that this ISN'T a coup?

1) Through legitimate, Constitutional means, the Supreme Court and lower courts have had right-leaning, stricter Constitutionalist judges added to them. Note this is through legitimate means, ie NOT ILLEGAL.

3) (I know it's out of order...) Constitutionally, Congress has NO oversight over the military. The only role they are supposed to play in military matters is approval or disapproval of funds for war. Congress trying to usurp this authority could be considered unconstitutional.

2) You are right on this point; the Executive Branch is supposed to be checked and balanced by the Legislative Branch, including some Congressional oversight.

The definition of coup is:
"A coup d'tat (pronounced /ku de'ta/), or simply coup, is the sudden overthrow of a government, often through illegal means by a part of the state establishment -- mostly replacing just the high-level figures."
en.wikipedia.org

It's not a coup since a) the government has not been overthrown, b) changes made in the Judicial Branch are not illegal, and c) high level officials have not been replaced.

Hope that helps.

What they are basicly admitting with their attitude towards Hillary is that there is no intention to ever leave Iraq and thus no plans for doing so.
Pretty obvious.

What is obvious is any plans of withdrawal will not be discussed in a public forum nor will an answer regarding any existence of such plans.

The military has an exit strategy and they have plans on how they will withdraw. That's a prepared military. If the President (ha) asks his commanders to withdraw, they will say ok and do it - it's already done. It would be foolish to believe that the US Military would have to tell the President "Yes, Mr. President, as soon as we figure out how."

He should just kick her in the balls , and be done with it .
hillary is like that worthless hack she is married to , says things that will flame the base , but does not do anything of consequence . She is just a big a clown as bubba , we can nickname her dubba .

BARTIMUS ... "It's not a coup since a) the government has not been overthrown, b) changes made in the Judicial Branch are not illegal, and c) high level officials have not been replaced"


a) Whether the government has been overthrown is a matter of opinion and/or degrees ...
b) The changes to the Judicial Branch are only legal due to the "Patriot Act" which was ushered in by the Bush Administration and forced upon the American people ...
c) There have been many high level officials replaced in key areas of government as-well-as in the Judicial Branch. Many replacements that would have been illegal prior to the "Patriot Act", which means that this Administration has changed the law to enable a take-over/coup of the US Government.


BARTIMUS ... "Constitutionally, Congress has NO oversight over the military" ...

However, the US Senate Armed Services Committee does (directly), and Hillary Clinton is a member of that committee ...

Here are links to information regarding the ASC jurisdiction and members:

armed-services.senate.gov

armed-services.senate.gov


There is a regime change needed in the White House, and Bush has set laws in place that can prevent this from being done through a vote ...

This administration's actions are consistent with a coup ...

Looks like Hillary has Edelman's balls firmly in her grip. Now we get to wait on Gate's response. Will he go with the loser neocons or will he bet on the future?

She is just a big a clown as bubba , we can nickname her dubba .

That was Funny lol

Dubba and the rest of the Dems want everyone including the enemy to hear everything that is planned and how we do it.

Sure there is free speech and folks can ask questions--but with the Dems and their words--all the time--AQ doesn't need new material for propaganda--they just turn on Harry Reid, Kerry Ted Kennedy and Pelosi and Dubba and copy the words verbatim! They get such great script from the Dems--it's truly astounding.

Murphy

Murphy-
re: AQ doesn't need new material for propaganda--they just turn on Harry Reid, Kerry Ted Kennedy and Pelosi and Dubba and copy the words verbatim!

Actually, they just point to the occupation of Iraq.

Murphy-
BTW, How much was AQ a force in Iraq four years ago?

Bucking heads with the Hilderbeast? Don't these people know what happens to people that Go against the Clintons????
He may be found floating belly-up in the Whitewater....OH, that wasn't the name of a river...my mistake!
