Clinton Fans Boo the Troops: Updated

To Hillary's credit, she said the military had done it's job, succeeded, then her followers booed her.

Sen. Hillary Clinton was booed again this morning at the Take Back America conference, sponsored by the lefty activist group Campaign for America's Future here in Washington.  At this same conference last year, Sen. Clinton was booed for her position on the war in Iraq.  This morning, she was enthusiastically received as she bashed the Bush administration — "a stunning record of secrecy and corruption" — but the crowd became less friendly when, at the end of her speech, she turned to Iraq.

"We're going to end the war in Iraq and finally bring home the troops," she said as a number of Code Pink protesters stood up in the audience.  When she declared, "The American military has done its job," boos began to be heard around the room.  As the boos increased, Sen. Clinton raised her voice. "The American military has succeeded," she said, to more boos.  "It is the Iraqi government that has failed to make the tough decisions."  Still more boos.

At that point, there was a round of cheers.  "I love coming here every year," Clinton said.  "I see the signs, 'Get Us Out of Iraq Now.' That's what we're trying to do."

So much for the silly "we support the troops but not the war" canard.

Update: This video shows that the boos didn't kick into gear until after Hillary mentioned the Iraqi government, and then it was a blend of boos and approval. There may have been booing while she was talking about the troops, but they aren't audible in the video provided, giving one the impression it was limited to the Code Pink crowd. Michelle Malkin has more.
