WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has touched off a diplomatic flap with Iraq's incoming government by questioning whether the leading candidate to become the next prime minister is too close to Iran's ayatollahs.

The likely new prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, shot back at Clinton, who just completed a visit to Iraq, by questioning her credibility as a spokeswoman for U.S. foreign policy.

"Hillary Clinton, as far as I know, does not represent any political decision or the American administration and I don't know why she said this," al-Jaafari told The Times of London.

"She knows nothing about the Iraq situation," he added.

The ayatollahs Hillary questions whether Jaafari is too close to couldn't be any worse than the terrorists her husband pardoned to help Hillary with the Puerto Rican vote in New York. Someone needs to ask if Hillary is too close to "Hymietown Jackson." Those ayatollahs couldn't be any worse than Shakedown Jesse!

Hillary should stick to doing what she knows best, and that's picking out pantsuits that make her look like a size 12, at best.

Hillary-they were ELECTED. (Why do Democrats have so much trouble with this democracy thing?)

Is it too late to nominate Hillary to become Iraq's new Prime Minster? She would do great there...for a very short while.

I guess he didn't make eye contact with her majesty.

Otherwise would be turned into a pillar of salt

At least he didn't walk up to her and requested she sign something. Otherwise the NY Times would blast him for "violating her space".

When has not knowing what they're talking about stopped a Democrat?
