ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton continued to drive in her point about being the candidate who can win today in Clinton, Iowa.

Clinton focused on her foreign experience and, for the third day in a row, highlighted her relationship with Benazir Bhutto. Clinton went further with her speculation surrounding the cause of death saying, "Others are saying it looked like it may have been an inside job because remember Rawalpindi is a military garrison city."Clinton stopped there but did question the aid the United States gives to Pakistan. "We have been giving all of this military aide to the Musharraf government and frankly we don't know where its going," she said.

Clinton also further detailed her role in the Irish peace accords. "I actually went to Northern Ireland more than my husband did," Clinton said, "I think I convened the first large meeting at the town hall in Belfast."

Clinton never addressed her opponents, but made veiled jabs. In particular at Senator Obama and his health care plan that Clinton points out doesnt cover all Americans. "Maybe I should leave them out and just hope and pray they don't get sick," Clinton said.

Clinton continues her whirlwind blitz around Iowa making several more stops around the state leading up to the Iowa caucuses.

It would be naive for anyone to believe
this woman will win in forcing americans to buy healthcare, anyone
who buys her message lives in fantasy land.

Hillary is a one-woman farce. Bill was elected promising universal health care. The Congress was democratic. Eighty percent of the public was behind it. The economy could easily support it. Yet her program was 1000% failure. She had another 6 years to try to revive it. Nothing happened. Can anybody actually be that incompetent? Let's hear the excuse for 8 years of failure on her supposed pet program - when her husband was the president no less. Let's hear it. Now there's an election, she's promising you healthcare again just like Bill did - with an unworkable mandatory plan to force down people's throats - a windfall to the insurance lobbies that fund her. The theory is that if you can fool them once, you can always fool them. As Geffen says, "the Clintons lie with such ease, it's troubling". and the NY Times' William Safire called her a "congenital liar". Hillary flunked healthcare. She flunked Iraq. She flunked Iran. She even flunked the Washington bar exam twice, and is a serial failure as a housewife. That's her record - her so-called experience. What a hoax. She cannot even take care of her household, but wants to be your president, and leader of the free world. Would you bet on a horse that collapses every time it comes out of the gate? Would you get on a ship if the captain was the guy from the Titanic? The American people are not that stupid. All we need is intelligent and honest leadership. Obama is a brilliant and visionary leader with a powerful brain. He graduated first in his class at Harvard. That's not easy. He's a uniter that gets all the difficult things right.

Hillary Clinton:"Others are saying it looked like it may have been an inside job because remember Rawalpindi is a military garrison city."

Wow, I read that in the newspaper yesterday. Guess that highlights my foreign policy experience too.

Hillary will be elected President and will be re-elected in a historical landslide.

Why? Because the common sense majority in this country will recognize the improvement in our economy, our relationship with the rest of the world, and the capture or killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Yes, the Democrats will have to get him since Bush failed, and you can forget about blaming Bill Clinton for Osama.
True there were a couple of chances to get him that didn't work out, but remember his military advisors were advising him each time that it wasn't a certain thing.

Remember the PDB (Presidential Daily Briefing) memo that Bush received before 911? What was the title of the memo? It was - OSAMA BID LADEN DETERMINED TO ATTACK IN THE U.S.

Bush had been in office nearly a year when Osama attacked so blame him!

Jee Wilson: You must mean a Hysterical
landside! What are you drinking?
Hillary Clinton continues her lies about
her so-called foreign policy experience!
She has None!
Now she says she "thinks," she doesn't know for sure, she "thinks she set up some sort of town meeting in Ireland!
Maybe it was a Dream! What a Fraud and
a Liar! If she were Pinnochio her nose would stretch around the World!

It was probably Hillary who sent Sandy Berger in to dispose of Classified documents that probably had her giving advice to Bill not to get Bin Laden when he had the chance. It's nice to be able to hide bad news in someone's shoes, and pretend it didn't happen. Bring back the honesty and integrity of the Clinton years...................

She was the wife of a president; this does not give her experience in running the free world.She lies with a straight face and this makes her a very dangerous person to trust.

guess what most of the folks now want one payer health care,now and then are two different worlds, if half of you folks would just listen to what she is saying instead of reading about what has been written, reporters are biased just like any one else, after all they are human right?she has worked all of her adult life to bring the change to this country that it needs, i have watched her for years even when Bill was in office, come on - she was wanting health care for folks- she didn"t need it so why try right? because she knew that the children of this country needed help, was it her fault it didn"t get passed?no

Hillary criticized her opponents for politicizing Bhutto's death; however she's been talking about her relationship with the deceased for three days now!! Maybe she's trying to be someone she isn't???

In other words Your Hero Hillary Clinton
"thinks she set up some kind of meeting
