All this talk ie changing the subject away from the disgusting thing Morris said is an old trick by my old party's approach to true information that shows them in a bad light. You know, "hange the subject. Make the Clinton's it". I read and reread the comments made by Morris and did not find any reference that either Clinton had one thing to do with his disgusting statement. Nice try folks, to try to cover the creeps disgusting statement but he alone is responsible for essentially naming our brave military as cannon fodder. Oh and another thing.

Remember he is the person who served his wife divorce papers while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer, this is the guy who took a call covered by our secrecy act, all the time he was cavorting with a hooker, and this is the guy who constantly crabs about Mrs. Clinton as if he is jealous of her relationship with Bill. That says it all about him I had thought, but alas, he has outdone his disgusting behavior, implying that it is great to have our military in Iraq as gun fodder so we here can be free of attacks. Only someone who has no gun fodder. Only someone with his twisted morality and mindset could come up with such a disgusting statement. He seems incapable of understanding just how disgusting his talking points and his behavior are and no doubt that sort of thing, welcomed by the Party hacks like Fox etc, results in so many of us leaving the Republican Party. There is something decidedly sick about the Morris anti- Hillary verbiage. Why is thes guy even quoted.
