Hillary, Bill & responsible parenting
No one has asked a very simple question of Hillary:
IF Bosnia was such a dangerous war zone why in heaven's name would did you take your teenage daughter along?And Bill, why would you put not only your only child in harm's way but your wife as well?
If you were both not acting as irresponsible parents--something I do not believe is true--then the danger was nothing like Hillary described this week.

Gee, I dunno. Why did Teddy Roosevelt send his sons to war? I mean, they died, ya know? He must have been a really, really, BAD parent.
Could it be that Clinton and Hillary were aware that they expected other Americans to send their sons, daughters, wives and husbands into a danger zone?
Of all the sophomoric, addle-pated whining over Bosnia, this has got to be the most sophomoric.
Are you SURE you want to go there?
Good grief! Can you people give this inanity a rest and talk about real issues? Like beating McCain in the general, the war, the economy, something?

Very very VERY cheap shot. I think we can all agree that calling out Chelsea in a typical Rush-ian fashion is just wrong. I'd like to see you retract this post.

Roosevelt sent his sons to war as soldiers trained to be there. Teenage girls are not.
The truth just hurts, folks. It was not dangerous for Hillary. There was not sniper fire. SHe did not run for cover.

They DIDN'T send Chelsea into harm's way! That's the point, guys: there was no danger. What is disturbing, however, is that HIllary would spin this thing about all the danger "(they put me in the cockpit for safety" and you leave your teen-aged daughter in the back of the plane?)
The point is it's all b.s. She was never in danger, would not put her child in danger, did not put herself in danger or the whole troop who was there to entertain.
It's b.s. THAT's the point.
