Hillary Clinton to visit Iraq
2005-02-19
BAGHDAD — US senator Hillary Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton, is expected in Baghdad today, a source at the US embassy said yesterday.
Remember, Hillary, you let the enlisted personnel eat before you even think of picking up a spork.
The source said the five-member delegation would hold talks with Iraqi government officials and members of the national assembly, whose make up was confirmed on Thursday by the electoral commission. Heading the US delegation is John McCain, the Republican senator for Arizona and one-time rival of US President George W. Bush. McCain has been critical of the US administration's policies in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion.
We noticed.
The delegation also includes senators Russel Feingold, Susan Collins and Lindsey Graham.

#18  Barbara- I'm not so sure about "hanging in there" and respect for herself. I think at that moment in her career, HILL had to be STRONG because her other half was NOT. Look at Jackie Kennedy Onassis and what she endured....

I am stating from a womens perspective. I think if you are in the eyes of the public- it would be worse to throw the towel in, like so many other women would do!

#17  Andrea - I'm in no way defending billyboy, just stating the fact that he was in fact (barf) elected President and she won't be.

I don't admire Hill for "hanging in there." If she has no respect for herself, why should I respect her?

Your mileage may vary.

#16  Yes, Barbara- the soldiers should eat first***
US Senator Hillary Clinton is trying hard to out shine her husband, Bill Clinton. Will she get elected the first U.S. President? "NO". About going to her grave...Many feel BILL CLINTON made a total ASS of himself with his behavior/ M.L. case. Many women admire Hillary for being able to hang in there or at least NOT give Monica Lewinsky what she was seeking~~

Face it, Hildabeest, you're always going to be thought of as being where you are because of Boffing Billy's coattails.

Even your most Leftist admirers think that, because it's true.

You'll go to your grave knowing that everything you have, you got in the name of BILL CLINTON. And 50 years from now, his name will still be listed in the history books as a past President, while YOURS WON'T.

Have a nice flight to Iraq. And try to have the decency to let the "little people," who are actually protecting your freedom to be a self-centered asshole, eat first.

#13  Are Hillary and McCain taking a C-130 over there so their egos fit comfortably?

#11  If they had Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy on board, the Iranian air force would offer full protection from any American-fired ground launched missiles.

Rumsfeld's reply: "Great, there goes the neighborhood! And we had such great hopes for Iraq!"

#9  She'll end up being treated the way any other Senator who votes on appropriations but is otherwise despised by many of the individual members of the military gets treated; as briefly as possible.

#8  So Hitlary thinks she's learned her lessons after the last fiasco. OK then, let's see. I'm still bettng the her disconnect is so deep that she'll still end up 100 yr old egg on her face.

#7  Korora -

I finally experienced a coffee alert moment. Thanks for that!

#6  Probably someone has a bucket of water handy to dissolve her.

#5  Difference between a political hack and a real representative of the people - talk with the troops, get the name and address of their family members back home [my god, the 10th out of Fort Drum, New York, is deployed, you don't even have to leave the state to visit], go and talk one on one with a few, quietly, off camera. Go see widows privately as well and thank them for their sacrifice and devotion without publicity. You can get your photo opportunity on the base in front of the command building or 10th Mtn Div statue. The man you want to replace already has done something like this a number of times at other installations. Odds of the senator's staff having a clue?

#2  Why? Why are any of these grubbers going, wasting tax dollars by the planeload? Most prolly don't even like tea or speak any Arabic.

Here ya go, wankers:

"La atta kala'am al Aribiya."

Practice that till it rolls off your tongues.

#1  Great, another security show while these people parade around and get their multi hundred thousand dollar pics taken with the troops. Methinks that a few of them will pose with Hillary and extend the knuckle of the middle finger ever so nuanced.....
