Hillary Clinton to attend Waco rally Friday
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will stop in Waco for a rally Friday, according to a posting on the candidate’s Web site.
The Web site says the rally will be held between noon and 3 p.m. at the Waco Convention Center, 100 Washington Ave. However, John Cullar, McLennan County Democratic Party chairman, said he expects Clinton to arrive at the event at about 2 p.m.
Attendees are urged to arrive early to allow time for security checks. There will be some type of music entertainment while attendees wait for the event to start, Cullar said.
Here’s the description of the event on Clinton’s Web site:
“Join Hillary for an Early Vote Rally with Veterans and Flag Officers at the Waco Convention Center in Waco! Hillary has spent the past 35 years fighting for American families and she has real solutions to tackle the tough issues we’re facing. Join Hillary in Waco to learn more about her lifetime record of results.”
For more information about the event, call the Clinton field office at 751-1267.

Both Clinton and Obama have to mature in their thought processes on Iraq. From both candidates, we are asked to accept that al-Qaida, with recognized terrorist affiliates in more than 60 Nations, had no discernible presence in a hub of world terrorism, I.e. Saddam Hussein’s Iraq! For years, Saddam gave sanctuary in Baghdad to both Abu Nidal and Abul Abbas, who prior to the emergence of bin Laden, were two of the world’s most notorious terrorist operatives. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was an al-Qaida affiliate in Afghanistan, where he commanded a terrorist training camp in the production and deployment of chemical agents, was also provided sanctuary in Baghdad in 2002, along with a cadre of his lieutenants; and, extended medical treatment was given to Zarqawi for injuries that he had received in a U.S. air-strike against his base camp. Zarqawi then transitioned to Northern Iraq and integrated with the the al-qaida affiliate, the Ansar al-Islam extremists, a terrorist organization that Hussein had permitted to operate under the supervision of a senior Iraqi intelligence agent. A group that, with Iraqi compliance, had constructed an extensive underground chemical weapons facility. By claiming that he had no control over his Northern sector, Hussein created plausible deniability with willing dupes such as Clinton and Obama in the event poisonous toxins, such as the ricin attacks in Europe, were traced back to the al-Islam enclave. Of course, we all know that Saddam gassed the Kurds who occupied the same sector when they deviated from his agenda. Further, overhead reconnaissance had verified multiple terrorist training sites within the interior of Iraq, to include an aircraft hi-jacking training facility. As well, Hussein openly funded Palestian homicide bombers who carried out attacks against Israel thru their Hamas and Hezbola initiators; and, dispersed Iraqi agents throughout the world who have been documented to have had numerous contacts with al-Qaida operatives.. Recall that it was Saddam who blatantly attempted to assassinate the 1st President Bush. Can there be any doubt that Saddam would have surreptitiously provided dangerous toxins to disparate terrorist organizations who were in pursuit of his common objectives! Greg Neubeck
