Breaking: Cheney Says Hillary's Request For Pentagon Info Helping Enemy
By Greg Sargent | bio

The battle between Hillary and the White House over Pentagon troop withdrawal plans has just heated up again in a big way.

Staking out a position at odds with that of his own Defense Secretary, Dick Cheney was just quoted on CNN saying that he agrees with a Pentagon official's recent assertion that Hillary Clinton's request for info about withdrawal contingency plans is helpful to the enemy.

In an excerpt from an interview with Larry King set to air later today that was just shown on the network, Cheney was asked whether he agreed with an earlier assessment by Under Secretary of State Eric Edelman, who recently sent Clinton a letter chiding her request for info about the plans as helpful to "enemy propaganda." Cheney's reply: "I agreed...I thought it was a good letter."

In response, Hillary spokesman Philippe Reines emailed us a statement pointing out that Cheney had broken with his own SecDef on the issue.

"It seems the right hand doesn’t know what the far-right hand is doing," Reines said in the statement sent to Election Central. "Senator Clinton calls on President Bush to set the record straight."

According to sources, Clinton will be sending a letter directly to Bush tomorrow to demand that he clarify the White House's position on the question.

[liberal N proud]

7. So Hillary is helping the bu$h regime?

[MethuenProgressive]

10. Did you read the OP?

Or is that "question" just the usual knee-jerk from the dazed and confused?

[liberal N proud]

14. Sorry, I should have included the sarcasm smiley

[Bitwit1234]

8. The only people supporting the enemy are bush and cheney.

Why you ask..because they and their families and friends are cleaning up on the war. That's why. And he rants and raves and tries to turn the situation around so people will think the war is right.

[Hieronymus]

Hillary's campaign has some of the best skills EVER, seriously. Even if they are not right, they will still appear to be taking people to the woodshed. Even though 52% "definitely wouldn't" vote for Hillary I'm starting to believe she could actually win if she gets the nomination.
