Iraq
Hildebeast not happy with new plan
2007-01-14
U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who opposes Bush's plans to send more U.S. soldiers, met Saturday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and the two top American commanders during her first visit to Iraq in nearly a year.

The New York Democrat, who was expected to run for her party's presidential nomination, called the situation in Iraq ``heartbreaking'' and said she doubted the al-Maliki government would live up to promises it had made about cracking down on violence.

``I don't know that the American people or the Congress at this point believe this mission can work,'' she said in an interview with ABC News in Baghdad. ``And in the absence of a commitment that is backed up by actions from the Iraqi government, why should we believe it?''
If/when she's president, of course, no one from the other party will dare go to a foreign country and criticize her plans. She'll make sure of it.
Clinton, who was making a one-day visit to the country, was traveling with Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Rep. John McHugh, R-N.Y. All are members of armed services committees.

#9  Almost believe she has a better situational awareness that "W" for phuechs sake... but how can I be saying such a thing?

Because like her, you've likely never been in a command situation, where you gotta make it work?

#7  This move was so obvious. Billary is tanking in the polls. The loons are abandoning her for Big Ears B. Hussein O.

So, she stages a one day trip to Baghdad to use Iraq as her platform to say she's a coward too.

#2  remember when Americans had some class and didn't criticize from foreign shores? The Donks, Dixie Chicks, Hollywood's left continually show how low they are. She's got her finger in the breeze and desperately trying to keep her "frontrunner" image, as the polls show her sinking to fourth or worse for '08. Bitch
