Visiting Iraq, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sounds like a Rethuglican shill for the deposed Bu$hCo regime:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in unannounced visit to Baghdad that the recent spate of bombings is a sign that the situation in Iraq is improving, downplaying sectarian violence and said that U.S. support will not waiver.

"We are committed to Iraq, we want to see a stable, sovereign, self-reliant Iraq," Clinton told an audience including 120 invited Iraqi civilians at the U.S. embassy. "As we make this transition, the United States will stand with the people."

Clinton's visit comes after two days of bombing that targeted Shiite Muslims and killed nearly 150 people.

"I think the suicide bombings ... are, in an unfortunately tragic way, a signal that the rejectionists fear that Iraq is going in the right direction," she said, referring to two days of bombings that killed nearly 150 people. "Are there going to be bad days? Yes there are. But I don’t know of any difficult international situation anywhere in the world or history where there haven’t been bad days."

Maybe those who argued before the election that the Democrats needed to take ownership of the war on terror to start acting more responsibly had a point. We can only Hope. Now if Mrs. Clinton could just have a talk with her national security-undermining boss ... the more people on our side the better.
