Title: Hillary Clinton Goes to Iraq...
Post by: muckmaw on November 26, 2003, 02:29:43 PM
This ought to get interesting.

The junior senator from NY is going on a Fact Finding mission to Afghanistan and then onto Iraq where she will ask soldiers questions about the rebuilding effort.

Clinton said "I want to see and  hear for myself what people tell me on the ground."

While in Afghanistan she will spend time with the 10th mountain division.

"I'm still very worried about Afghanistand...The Taliban and Al Qaeda are clearly making a comeback."

If she is honest about it I can respect this.


I really doubt she is going to be honest about it though.

Think positive; as long as she's out of the country, she's not in the Senate. :)

Maybe it'll take 2 years............

Sean Penn Going to Iraq.

Sean Penn May Write from Iraq for S.F. Chronicle
Tue Nov 25, 8:05 PM ET  


SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Sean Penn (news) may be joining the press corps in Iraq (news - web sites).
 

The actor, who made a controversial visit to Iraq last winter, is considering going back, and this time publishing his accounts of life in the war-torn country for the San Francisco Chronicle, the paper's editor Phil Bronstein said on Tuesday.


"He brings a very keen director's and actor's eye to slices of life in Baghdad," said Bronstein, an old friend of Penn's who read some of the unpublished material Penn wrote during his last trip to Iraq.


Bronstein said the arrangement with Penn remains informal, since he has not yet decided if and when to return to Iraq. Penn sparked controversy last winter when he traveled to Iraq to speak out against the planned U.S. war to topple Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).


But if he were to return, he would probably stay away from the most violent scenes and focus on everyday life, said Bronstein, who described Penn's earlier dispatches from Iraq "as short vignettes that caught moments in people's lives and what they were doing -- kind of like a reporter's notebook."

Any chance they may be in the same place at the same time?



:D

Hope she gets no more security than any other junior senator.

Give her the keys to a red toyota, a map of Afgahanistan. Then publish her itinerary in the local newspapers. Make it at least one each in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Isreal. :)

Sometimes life has a way of adding wisdom. Give her a chance... if she spends time w/our troops and actualy spends time on the front that alone says far more about her than many of her fellow senators....correct?

Oh...and I despise her but I will always keep an open mind.

One day Saddam Hussein was walking in the desert and he stubbed his toe on some hard object. He bent over to pick it up and a Genie popped out.
 
"Oh great," Saddam said, "I don't have time for this Genie nonsense."

"Wait," said the Genie, "You have to let me grant you three wishes or I'll be trapped in that stupid lamp for another ten thousand years."

"Ok" said Saddam, so he wished that the Genie would give him three American women.

So the next morning when he woke up, Tanya Harding, Lorena Bobbitt, and Hillary Clinton layed next to him. His knee was bashed in, his noodle was gone, and he had no health insurance.

When mrs. Clinton visited Macedonia (IIRC) in 1999 during the bombings of Yugoslavia we had a joke here - maybe Clinton's only reason for the agression was to kill his wife by "stray missile"?...

Maybe she still keeps him from having another Monica around?... :rolleyes:
