Clinton urges Iraqis to overcome divisions
2009-04-26
[Al Arabiya Latest] U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Saturday urged Iraqis to overcome their divisions as a spate of suicide bombings revived fears of a renewed sectarian war when U.S. troops withdraw.
Doh! Why didn't I think of that?
Making a brief visit to Baghdad, her first since becoming secretary of state, Clinton sought to reassure Iraqis of U.S. support as Washington prepares to withdraw all its troops by the end of 2011.
"Y'got nuttin' to worry about. Trust me."
The top U.S. diplomat arrived on a military transport plane a day after two female suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Baghdad, killing 60 people in the deadliest single incident in Iraq in more than 10 months.
The bad guyz have a new Mastermind running things, and he's got a campaign under way. We should track him down and kill him, otherwise they might get on a roll again.
It was the third major attack in two days, bringing the death toll since Thursday to at least 150 people.

#3  I can't figure her out, surely she's smarter than she opens her mouth and sounds like,
Or is she?

She sometimes sounds like the idiot who looks up with his mouth open in astonishment, and downs in a rainstorm.

#1  I actually heard NPR criticise her for walking out on an Iraqi reporter who's question she apparently didn't want to answer. NPR didn't, however, reveal the question.
